Got a call from my dealor, that my car is in, was asked to pick it up tomorrow as Black needs time to detail. Looking forward to it, its an IS250 AWD, Luxury with Nav, Cashmere.
anyone recommends the paint and cleather protection?

 

Congrats. Was it a special order and if so, when did you order?

I would say no to the paint or cleather protection. A dealer told me off the record once that anything that the finance dept. sells you is essentially, non-essential and is a money maker for the dealer. That means the dealer cost is pennies and your cost is $$$$. A pretty standard wax job you can do at home is called "paint protection", teflon coating", "pleather" etc. to make it sound important. Same is true for extended warranties, tire protection, additional insurance options, etching etc.

 

How long did you wait? I've only been waiting 16 days.

 

no special order, but got it in around 1 months time.

 

I ordered my 350 a few weeks ago and still waiting for the good news (I hope) soon - black on black, nav. lux pack, ML

 

I would just get a clear bra to protect the paint from rock chips during driving

 

Definately get one as soon as possible. This is one of the first major complaints from everyone on the forum. I got mine two weeks after I got the car, and I got a small chip on the roof and on a side mirror before that. Damn trucks...
