A sad day as well....sorry to see you go....as I also have posted in the Lexus Classifieds here on this site, due to a medical setback, I am selling my pristine and I mean pristine 2007 GS 350.

A very sad day.

Now that's a helluva deal! It would make it pretty hard to pass up for sure.

I know you said you didn't pay that much, but 81 for a CLS? My dad just got an S550 and the sticker was not too much higher than that. It's just 81 seems a bit high for the CLS.

Yeah surprising huh, sticker is like 69k, then add premium 2 pkg for about 4500 bux, AMG sport for about 5000, parktronic for 1000, and ipod for 500... it all adds up.

So you paid 55K for a 81K car? Was the MB used?

I was going to ask the same question. Even if you paid $65K (GS 450h w/ APSS) is there that much of a mark up on MB? If so maybe you should have bought two, maybe got an even better deal, traded it in and got your 450h back!

Wow... did you get a manager's special, or did you happen to know someone at the dealer? That's a great deal.

Personally, I would have gone with a GS450H. Never really liked the style of the CLS.

Good luck with the car. You bought or leased?

By FAR the only things on the "Pro's" list that are worthy of being better than the 3GS are:

Im not sure how similar the MB air-ride is to the "touring edition" LS460L air-ride system but if its anything like it......thats freakin awesome!!!

congrats on your new toy, but sad to say "YOU WILL BE BACK!!!"...

GOOD LUCK with MB, loved the solid feeling and the safety of the vehicles... hated the regular visit to the dealer. Hopefully you will have better than I did!!!

Again, congrats on the new toy!!!

Nice! You should get rid of the orange side markers and get some clear markers. Enjoy the new ride
