Joe,

Sorry to see the IS AWD go, but the GS AWD is sweat. I thought you wanted a IS 350 (LOL)? I should have bought your sport pedals off of you before the trade........dammmmmit.

It was close with the IS 350 but I decided to go with a nice comfortable smooth riding car. 303 HP is nice.
I always liked the look of the GS 350 so I went for the extra bucks.
You only live once and are dead for a long time.

My props to you Joe, post some pics. I am a fan of the GS as well. I think other members would enjoy seeing the new toy.

Welcome to the stealership (LOL)!!! They will get close to that also. An AWD on the east coast snow belt.

I'll join you on that franchise effort. I am sure there would be many members willing to jump in as well (LOL).

5000 mark up for a CPO is small for a dealership. Its normally upwards of 8k+

Dealers make more $$ of used cars then the new ones

This was my battle with my car and my buddy that owns the dealer. They are slow and want to take more profit away from me haha....see where that one went! Now he is chasing me to get a car!!!

I really don't like G-Spiders on a GS.
I should have taken them off and sold them butI sold my wheels and tires when I got the Spider setup.
I love the GS460 wheels,though.

The assumption is a $5k markup, but it's all a shell game when you trade in. Who knows how much of that $25k trade in value came out of what they could have reduced the price of the GS by. My point is that they're probably making more money on the deal than most of us realize.
