IS350 black black; premium luxury plus package, mark levinson nav, park assist, fully loaded, only 16 miles on the odometer. Took three hours to trade in my Acura, do the paperwork, pay for the car, and drive home; paid msrp $$44,929.
I'll take pics tomorrow but so far, this is an awesome car and I can't wait to drive it all over creation!
My first Lexus.

Congratulations!
This is, without a doubt, the ultimate post. Congratulations on getting that beauty. It I was you, I'd probably spent the night in my garage, watching DVDs all night!

As TimboIS mentioned, I need to start using iTunes to revamp my mp3 music collection and maybe even look into how to burn music videos.

Yes, Ryan, Ken enlarged that ML pic just to let us know what he has and no one else has.
