Thoughtful of you to post a map to your home in the 6th picture. I'll be over tonight for a beer.

Just kidding -- nice ride -- enjoy it!

I thought you had Obsidian at first...

Does anyone have more pics of black sapphire? I want black but if BSP is black with blue in it, I may take it.

I'd HIGHLY recommend going to a Lexus dealership to see Black Sapphire in person. All the pictures I've seen of it are not really accurate as it's one of those colors you have to see in person. In the dark, it's black. In daylight that's cloudy, it's got some dark purple/dark blue... In sunlight, it's a nice blue... REALLY hard to describe, and nearly impossible to photograph...

The GM phoned me up as the did the Assistant Service manager. They wanted to come out to my house and pick the car up. I turned that down but did take it in and received a full tank of gas, a full detail and a pocket full of cell phone numbers. I think I'm safe is saying someone at Tustin Lexus screwed up big time.
i bought an IS350 from tustin lexus a few months ago. so if i bought the car at tustin can i get it washed there whenever i want free without getting it serviced? and as u mentioned since newport & tustin are owned by the same company can i get my car washed at newport lexus for free without service even though i bought it at tustin?

thanks

Yep you can. But there seemed to be some confusion about that a week ago. Courtesy car washes are part of the Lexus experience and should be available at every Lexus dealership. Nice feature if your traveling and you want a wash while on the road...

Courtesy car washes bring courtesy swirl marks too the majority of the time.

Well guys, i am closing a deal for my gf tommorrow on the exact same car with $37647 MSRP and my price is $33347 before tax and license...which means it is about $100 over invoice or $4300 off msrp...

I doubt anyone in this forum or on my.is got a better deal than that for now and this is in Northern California...anyhow, just wanted to let you guys know that if you really shop hard, you can even do better...good luck everyone...

P.S. This is probably the sixth Lexus i bought/referred to the same dealership so maybe thats why...

For 2007 ISx50:
From what I see, IS250's sell for a little over invoice.
From what I see, IS350's sell for about mid-way between invoice and MSRP.
From what I see, special order IS350's sell for close to MSRP.

So you're deal is good, congrats, but it's nothing rare or unusual.

True, i wouldn't say it is rare but i am just saying that it's probably the best deal i've seen so far...it's just a matter of time that they will go below invoice on those cars...good luck to all shoppers..
