Finally getting my GS tomorrow
I have been waiting impatiently for about the last month since i put my gs on order...
I finally had it today and could no longer deal with my dealer's inability to give me an idea of when my car would arrive.
I got home a little earlier today and started calling all dealers in NJ with the hope to get lucky and hoping a dealer would have the same car of what I had ordered from the first dealer.
A few dealers honestly laughed at me with the pretty rare combo i wanted....that didnt stop me however..i kept trying and finally discovered a dealer which had a car 95% close to what i wanted...
2006 check
GS check
AWD check
MATADOR RED check
NAV / ML check
parchment...sorry only black........
....oh what the hell....i tell the salesguy on the phone..i'll be right there..... 
I called the original dealer and asked them if my deposit was refundable...they said of course.
I got in the hooptie and drove over the dealer and wanted to confirm that the car the second dealer salesguy promised he had he indeed did have.
When i got there, THERE she was....in the corner of the lot just delivered...waiting for me.
About 30 mins later, paperwork was all done and I was on my way home. I'll go to the bank tomorrow, get a certified check and be taking her home.
FINALLY...i'm a lexus owner again...

GS4fun, exactly how many days was your GS on order? I'm at 39 days now. Dealer can't say much other than it should be here any day. VIN was provided almost 1 month ago.

Ray Catena of Monmouth Jersey had this Matador/Black combo for the past month. I have my Glacier/Grey on order with them. They've been trying to convince me to take the Matador. Anyway, they called me two days ago to tell me I should have my car on June 9th. This gives me more time to haggle (with them and others).
Congrats. Post some pics up here when you get it to show me what I missed out on.
