Default Said goodbye to my IS250.

I made a decision to sell my IS250 that's been so good to me. I took a whole new direction and bought a jeep wrangler with the intentions of building it for off-roading fun. Immediately, I missed the comforts of my Lexus. Long story short, I thought I would have had to say goodbye to the CL community. I love this forum, learned a lot of things relevant to my Lexus.

A week later, I sold the Jeep, and bought an White 07 GS350 w/ ML. I have to say it's a nice upgrade from the IS. Very comfortable car. Finally have the car I want, in the color I want, with the options I want. Lexus guy for life.

Interesting change to the Jeep but I do know they're bumpy. I think you upgraded to a nice vehicle the GS. Congrats and I guess you'll still be around in the GS forum.

Funny, my friend sort of did the same thing. He traded in his IS300 for a new Wrangler, and three days later returned it. Immediately purchased a '08 TSX off the showroom floor. Luckily the dealership was kind enough to just return it as the paperwork had not yet went through.

Jeep wrangler are ok. I currently owned an 09 wrangler unlimited X. Comparing the lexus and jeep are way out of the question. Congrats on the GS! I'm still in the market for an IS-F or maybe the new RC-F....

Thanks everyone. I'm glad to be back on this forum. I'm usually just a reader and never gets too much into discussions. But I have learned more about my car from this forum than from the owner's manual. Lol.

I will buy another IS after graduation, but only if it comes with the letter F somewhere in the model name. For now, the GS is fantastic commuter. Being stuck in traffic isn't so bad when you have an ML system and ventilated seats to help ease the pain.
