All in time. I'm reviewing warranty options for this eventuality. Is the Route 66 Warranty offered by Penfed any good for our cars?

Here are some better photos. No post-delivery photos as there has been a TON of pollen in the air and I wasn't able to get down for a wash today.

Stunningly beautiful car. Put the suspension in HEIGHT HIGH and drive on a bumpy road, listening carefully for rattling sounds from the front suspension. Check the lower B pillar trim for damage where the driver's seatbelt buckle hits when you unbuckle it. Turn the steering wheel lock to lock and listen for groaning noises. Step on the brake gently and listen for a click-spring noise. Look at the sunroof glass surround for rubber deterioration. Check the trim pieces on both sides of the windshield that run above the doors for the paint flaking off. Check the Nav surround for the matte finish scraping off.

Thanks.
So i've been monitoring prices on cars optioned like mine since I closed the deal and took delivery. Maybe two weeks doesn't yield a great sample size, but I gotta ask...
How do you guys think I did on this at 26K + TTL?

If you've been happy with the car, whatever price you paid was worth it. Again, though, you got a good to excellent deal.

I just checked Manheim prices. 2010 with 75K mikes average price is $24K. Keep in mind - if you buy from Manheim - you need to pay $400 auction fee and about $500 to the dealer, which takes you there. So all together is $25K. Considering all options and condition of your car - I think it's a good deal. have you bought it from Lexus or other dealer ?

I second the notion that this is a great deal. While the 2010 control arms are not the newly redesigned ones (I think 2011 onwards), they aren't an expensive fix (had a Lexus tech work on my 2010 independently, he was in Grapevine). Great car, stunning condition, Sewell certainly takes care of their customers plus the price is really good. Like many have said here, you'd rather get a good deal on a great car, then a great deal on a good car (if that made sense). Hard to find one in a sport package, much less with pristine maintenance history. Welcome!
And I want to say, that interior wood trim is GORGEOUS!
