Default Just Bought 2009 IS250 In SoCal

Hey there. After talking to about 6 dealers in SoCal, and 2 bad dealer interactions, I finally bought my 09 IS250. Went through Jim Brown over at Longo, who I highly recommend. Got Navigation, Premium Package and the Preferred Accessory Package.

Wanted to thank CL members muzzman1 and franklowe for their help too.

I got the windows tinted this morning.

Thanks.

I went to Sunshine Glass Tinting in Sherman Oaks. Heard good things about them and Yelp reviewers were good to them as well.

Thanks everyone!

I got Obsidian/Black interior. The tint is 20% rear seats and rear winshield and 35% driver/passenger.

I have wanted an IS250 for a while and this was the right time to get rid of my old car. Couldn't be happier outside of having a 350.

I have the XM unit on the way from Sewell to install and then it's the VAIS unit for the iPod and I'll call it a day.

Congrats on the new car.

IMO, your last statement could happen only if you don't visit CL after that mod. LOL!
