I have black as my interior. As for optional equipment, the car has heated leather steering wheel, intuitive park assist, one-touch power trunk, illuminated door sills, rear lip spoiler and all weather floor mats.
So far I like everything about the car.
As far as my lease, I went through a broker. The price was not negotiated so I didn't spend hours at a dealership. I feel like I got a pretty decent deal.

It's done deal. If you're happy about the vehicle, that's all.
Congrats on your new ride.
Enjoy!!

I agree don't pay any attention to people challenging your financials. If you paid for it and you are happy thats all that counts!

Absolutely guys, I didn't mean for this thread to turn into D**K swinging contest on who got what deal and for how much and so on.
All I want is to introduce myself into the forum, say hi, post a picture of the car and be apart of a community that shares a similar interest.

Good deal
I think you got a great deal! Congrats! I picked up a 16 200t a few weeks ago and this forum is a good resource. I've used it in the past for other Lexus models. Enjoy the car, I'm liking mine more and more every day

Yeah, I found that interesting as well. Those weren't options that I specifically asked for or wanted however they were included in the car and essentially the dealership leased the car to me (through the broker) for damn near the same price as one without those options. What I really wanted to was the spoiler and this particular model had all of the above so I said Ill take it!

Beauty, Silver, Nebula and Platinum IMO are the best colors. You are going with wheels and lowering on a lease?
Is that going to hurt you at lease end? Or maybe planning to buy it outright?

I am planning on wheels and lowering springs. It will not hurt me in the end as I will keep all original parts and when time comes, I will just reverse what I've done to the car. I don't plan on doing anything that can't be easily reversed with this car. Depending on residual vs. value of car at the time will determine whether I just walk away from it or lease to buy, flip it and make a few bucks. We'll see when that time comes.

Congrats and welcome to CL. There will always be "better" deals but best deal is the deal that works best for you. Enjoy the car and ...post more pictures. It's a beautiful car, it deserves more (and cleaner) pictures.
