Jason - if you are still on the board - where did you get your SGM in Austin - ordered it? It looks like if I really want it I may have to order. They have access to Gold, and Blue Onyx and Crystal White, Grey and maybe Red. All nice but not sure I want any of those. I'm burnt out on white cars for sure. I'm trying to decide whether to go with a backup color or order one and sit back and chill till July.
It's amusing to me becuase the salesman in Austin is trying his hardest to talk me out of SGM - he says the only people that have any interest in that color are very old people. He insists I come see it on another model before he would order it.
I really like it because it is not one of the traditional Lexus colors that I see everywhere - White, Silver, Black or Dk Grey. I wonder if it is a little too fadish though.

I just got my is 250 with navi and all possible packages. Paid in cash full too. SHAZAM ! I couldnt see the point in a 350. The 250 is fast enough and I felt if I goot a 350 I should just go ahead and buy a gs. But the 350 is still a great car. Had to wait like 3 months for my car to come in in tungsten pearl.

i too was shopping for a 250 with nav....i talked myself out of it and got a base 350 instead. it was definitely the better choice. i dont need nav, im pretty good with directions.

All that said - I am thinking a 350 in Glacier with Black interior and a luxury package. No Nav or Stereo upgrade.
Want tint and XM - not sure if they have a version or will just offer me a Delphi unit.
That all being said - what is a fair price for this car? My dealer here in Austin only has 1 350 in Gold and no 250. Had to demo the shops loaner for the 250. So can I assume I will have to pay premium price. His scheduled deliveries next week are for Red and Black only.

Thanks a bunch for that info Foxberry. I would have never thought of that. While I love cars I am pretty typically female in that I just expect it all to work just the same...

Also, the XM won't be an add-on Delphi-type unit. It is a hardwired OEM receiver that is mounted in your trunk.
