Default IS300 Loaner

Took the RX in for 15K service today, and got a 2001 titanium silver IS300. That is one cool car. The handling is excellent, and its so powerful and sporty. I love that Exhaust too. You guys are lucky to have such a nice car.

I just picked up an IS300 loaner when I brought my LS400 in for service. That's one heck of a cool car! I didn't think I'd like the instrument dials, but after driving the thing, I like it! Handling is very good. Acceleration is effortless. The thing just wants to keep going faster and faster. And the ride is suprisingly supple with the 17" tires. Considering it sells for about 33-34k, I wonder how it compares with the 3 series Bimmer. Then again, BMW doesn't give out loaners! Another reason to stay with Lexus.

thanks for the tip. But that's super-far from where I live (about twice the distance of if I were to go to Longo for service).

If when I schedule an appointment and request a loaner car, just ask for the earliest day with the IS available as a loaner? Will they say that they don't offer it or something?
