They made me pay the whole full price on 11/30 to close down the deal because it's the end of the month and they try to make the sale.
in order for me to get a discount $500 off msrp and a free tint. Seems like in texas here the demand is so high. I called all the dealer in texas and they barely have anything. No discount whatsoever is what i've been told.
By the way what r you getting and congrat on the new ride

I actually tried to get a quote from Park Place and they never called me back. Their bad I guess since they lost the sale. My guy in Lubbock, Al Griggs, is a great guy and I was able to get $795 off. He also told me XM will be installed at the port and I paid $486 for that option. Much cheaper than having the dealership install it. I am paying $125 for the tint so I guess we are getting about the same amount of money off MSRP. I'll take it though because you are right, in Texas, these cars are very hard to come buy. I have a GFM IS250 with Nav/XM with Sterling Interior coming my way. Will post interior pics when it arrives. Soooo excited and I can't wait for it to be delivered. Want to drive it home to Phoenix for Christmas. Also, I haven't signed any paperwork yet so my financing won't start with payments until 45days from delivery so that is a good deal too. Congrats on your ride too! What did you get exactly?

Nice pics! I am planning to getting the new IS soon and 80% gonna get the crystal white. I like the black and cashmere interior colors. Which one takes wear and tear better? (ie still looks good after a couple of years) obviously no one's had the new IS for years, but from other car experiences?

This should not be a concern on the leather, but it will definately affect the carpet. If you like cashmere, you can always get replacement floor mats for about $75 for all four passengers. Also, you can get all-weather floor mats or clear mats to keep the carpet clean.
As for black, sometimes black fades if quality is poor. This shouldn't be a concern with Lexus. Go with what you like and protect it as soon as possible, especially since a harsh winter will cause the most wear and tear on your carpets and floor mats.

god some questions for IS owners
does the LED light over the steering wheel stay on when driving or does it like go off? because i thought it just stays on in the dark. and with the automatic models, when u put in in manual mode, the car tells you when to upshift by different colors in the speedometer? just wondering
