Default Picked up my 06 IS350 CW/black

Finally part of the CL club after 2400 posts

06 Crystal White/Black + Mark Levinson + Sport Package.

Got about 3500 off MSRP, OTD price was 39880 or so cant remember exactly. I was extremely lucky, I planned to special order a 07 in starfire pearl/black, x package + ML. But a local dealer told me they had the above and gave me a nice discount. So no more paying MSRP with a 4 month wait

Congrats on the purchase.

All you need to do is change the wheels and it'll be as close to the X-Package as possible.

The only other difference is the 07 white is a true white. The 06 is an egg white.

And of course, congrats on the new car. We'll have to meet up soon.

Congrats! Is it everything you expected it to be? Are you going to even bother reading the manual since you know so much about the car already?

Have fun!

Damn you guys are lucky. I wish they had levinson around here, otherwise I wouldnt have had to special order. I only got a 2K discount on my 07 special order

Starfire Pearl/Sterling with Nav+ML+18s+HID
40K +tax +dealer proc( about 41400 OTD).

So you paid $1500 less than me.. and you got the sports package and you dont have to wait for 4 months

Hey, so how much is tax in TX?
according to my calcs
36030 + 3695 + 3990 = 43715 + tax and deler proc would probably be over 45K.... so 39990 is over 5K off.

Congrats, don't do the K&N it won't do as good of a job filtering as the OEM filter. Don't go for the hype. It won't make your car faster or last longer and it costs more then OEM. Enjoy your new IS350.

Your OTD price was under $40k including tax, tags, etc?
