Default Oh man, it's in my garage!

Ordered on Oct. 20th, '05 and in my garage Jan. 14th, '06! Was it worth the wait? I'll say!!! The dealer called this AM and said to come and pick it up. He did not want it sitting around as a temptation for others to play with. They said it is the only IS350 they have had come through that has come in with EVERYTHING!! LT, NAV/ML, PCS/Radar, HW, PA. So....I was down there fast. It still had all the plastic coverings etc. on it when I first saw it. 12 miles on the Odo. (I had told them if it had more than 20 miles on it when I saw it I'd pass!) I drove it a bit, they cleaned it up and it is now in my possession. Oh yeah, I had them put on chrome wheels. Just the stock 18" ones but on the Crystal White I think it looks pretty good. It has the sterling interior for those who want to know.

And yeah, I'll get out the digital camera and somehow figure out how to post a pict. Thanks to all CL members for all the help as I made my decision. Invaluable help and it sure is nice to be in touch with so many others who also appreciate such a fine machine. It's my first Lexus and my wife and I are thrilled. Now to read the manuals. And read. And read. And read. Ha!

Later, cuz now I have to go out to garage to look at it!

Congrats; we have the same taste! Now let's see those photos, asap! I'm dying to see the O***s dipped in chrome on a CWM. If you don't mind; how much did it cost to have them dipped?

Congrats, very nice. Honestly, with 23 miles on it, you would have walked?

Enjoy the car....

The dealer wants $1995.00 for those wheels chromed. I offered $997.50 and they said "yes". That seemed OK to me and they do look pretty good. (if I say so myself)

Yup. Woulda walked right out!!! Nah. I would have kept it, but I really do think that they believed I might have walked. The sales manager was most insistant about me getting the car ASAP and to quote him, "have it in your garage tonight and NOT sitting around the dealership".

Yeah, you have to admit this is one sweet car! I think my first thread after I first got my car was IS350 in my garage, right now! (similar to yours) and the feeling is just amazing. I can't remember feeling so good about a large purchase...ever. Congrats again.

OK. I'll work on pics Monday. But have some patience. I'm a techno peasant and might need help from my son or nephew to acually get them posted.
