true, but only on rwd models. Awd f sports are non staggered. Even so, i would still get the f sport knowing i couldnt rotate.

Last night I purchased the F Sport for $33K at .9% financing through Lexus. It's L-Certified with the tires & rear brakes brand new and the front brakes were almost new. I've only driven it twice, from the dealer to my home and then once to go get milk. Best trip to get milk I've ever had! Thanks for the advice everyone! I'm very happy with the purchase and bought the Lexus Platinum VSA (coverage through 3/2024) and prepaid maintenance (maintenance through the 85K service). Unfortunately, they could not extend it to the 90K - total bummer. The Mark Levinson sound system is phenomenal!

I haven't heard a good stereo system in years, so I'm looking forward to hearing the ML on a test drive.

I purchased a Grey F Sport AWD with 27k miles on 2/28 to get the 0.9% financing. Traded in my wife’s first car (06 IS250). It was going to be 100k maintenance time and it was about to be 12 years old. Hopefully this one lasts me just as long.

Thanks. Everything about the car is great, however the dealership I bought it from sucked. Sales lady was rude from the beginning and unhelpful including her manager. Finance person was great however. I gave her an offer and acted like it was an insult. She said I can’t take this back there. They won’t accept it. I got angry and said take it, you haven’t even tried. Bought the car for $500 above that offer. So she was terrible to deal with, I think she thought this was my first big car purchase but I’ve bought 6 cars in the last 8 years.

Absolutely love it! Very happy that I paid a little extra and went with the F Sport model vs. the base. The handling is superb although I have to admit the car stays in ECO Mode more than I'd like to admit. This car is my commuter and only when I'm returning home from the airport on a later flight can I really open the car up on the tollway (where there's no traffic). The only thing that drives me a little crazy is the Bluetooth and Pandora in the Lexus Suite. Every time I plug my phone into the car to charge it while listening to Pandora through the Enform Suite, the sounds cuts out. It's as though the audio system gets confused or something. Am I crazy?
