Default :( help need advice

They can't find me a black on black is300 in the southeast. He said it would be like up to 3 months to get one from the factory. I can't wait that long. They have that graphite grey color. Or I might try to get a blue one what should I do? Also he said that they have a few black with the ivory interior but i don't know if that will look as good.

I pm'd you back. Is she on the board. I really don't want to pay for shipping because it's not my fault they don't have black on black. I don't see why it's so rare .

Go with the ivory interior....especially if it is leather. If you park outdoors without a cover, you'll appreciate the lighter color in that hot Florida sun.
Yes, dark glass tint will help but its legality varies from state to state. I don't know what Florida's laws are right offhand.

i don't really agree. i thought the same too, until i got my is300 with black leather. to my surprice (i took BOTH my gs4 -- ivory -- and is3 to las vegas in the hot summer, parked together) and the is3 was just as hot to sit in as the gs4.
