Default Jumped in from 3IS to RCF today. Pretty friggin happy.

Got a great deal today, just over $61000 with trade and cash.

I was genuinely sad to sell my first Lexus, my Ultra White 3IS F sport. Will definitely miss 4 doors but ah....no looking back now!

Here she is...all 310 miles of her.





Full hood clear bra and some light window tint coming next week.

Quick question - is there any GOOD kit to mount the front plate on the tow hook on this model? I'm going to get ticketed a lot in this area but I really don't want to drill my grill...again.

Congratulations! Looks sweet. Is it a 2015?
Regarding the plate. Just risk it! Can't cover up that grill! I've seen a tow hook setup before on the RC coupe.

I'd be ok at my home area but my office is one mile between a State Trooper office and a County Sheriff Office, a busy county office too. Wife got a ticket for tinted windows right outside my work in my 3IS. I am going to risk it but it I get a ticket in the first few weeks, I'll have to get the plate put on. Just too many cops around us. I can't go to work without seeing at least 6 on any given day.

Near Rochester. A long way from you I'm afraid.

Yes, a 2015. 100 miles on it when I bought it.

Pretax but I has $30k in trade and some cash to add so tax wasn't so much.

Thanks for the welcome everyone else!

Now....just have to break the news to the wife that I need a winter beater.....that will NOT be fun.
