Default Just Picked Her Up

Hello everyone, just wanted to say hi and show a pic of my new Glacier frost 07 IS250 awd. This forum was very helpful in all the research i had to do before purchasing the car.

The car behind it was my trade, 2007 Camry SE V6 in super white.

Very nice, but what's the story? Why trade in an '07 Camry on an '07 IS? What was wrong with the Camry? You must have taken a huge hit on the trade. Regardless, welcome aboard!

Well i work at a toyota dealership as the Scion manager and inventory manager and had a 06 Scion tC for about 10 months, traded that in for the 07 Camry and then made some calls to some people i knew that work at Toyota & Lexus stores so they took good care of me on both the trade and the IS. I simply get tired of driving my car after a while, and if im going to make a payment might aswell do it on something im still excited to get into in the morning. (i might give this one about 2 years though cause even whileknowing people changing cars too often is bad for your pocket)

p.s:i was about $1,500 upsidedown on the camry.

Currently, Tanabe's the best, if not the only way to go.

Eibach Pro Kits seem to be more favored among CL members, but they don't work for AWD IS' like the OP has.
