I've been lurking around here since I ordered my car about a month ago, I figured now that I have it I should post something. I just picked it up today. Smoky granite, black interior, navigation and sport package.

I didn't get to drive it too much, but it is just amazing. I traded in a 2000 3-series.

I took a few pictures when I was picking it up. Unfortunately a huge storm hit and I was stuck inside the dealership for about 2 hours. After it was too dark to take any decent pictures. I'll get some this weekend.

(I'm not really sure how to shrink them down to fit on the forum without killing the quality.)

 

Sewell Lexus of Fort Worth? Thats where I got mine. Who was your salesperson? Congrats.

 

Good trade UP .

Welcome to CL!

 

nice car. love the wheels and oem kit. enjoy your new car!

 

congrats. is it used? it came with factory front tint?

 

Congats on the IS and welcome to Club Lexus

 

yeah! welcome to the club! i use a program on my comp. called photoimpression that was already built in that i can change the dimensions to make it fit for u/l to cl. you probably have something of the like on yours.

 

Another SGM, welcome! BTW, since you said you have the sport package, I'm assuming the wheels are an option. How much did it cost you?

 

I'm assuming the dealer told the OP that his IS has the sports package, when in fact the car is equipped with the X-Package.

 

Congrats & welcome Nice choice of color combo too

 

congrats, and let the good times roll!

 

Hey welcome to CL. Oh and i hear about the storm yall had. It hit us about 12am here in Lufkin, Tx. it wasn't as bad like it was over there but it did bring some strong *** winds!! Well enjoy your car and thanks for posting. Don't let the "Mod bugs bite"

 

Purrty! Welcome to the Club!!

 

Can you please let me know if this was actually a special order from the factory (from Japan), or your dealer was able to find the car you wanted from a different dealership in the country, and they just shipped it there? I'm just curious coz from what I've heard, it takes about 3-4 months if it's a special order. Is it really possible to get it that quick? I hope so!!!

Thanks

 

The dealership threw in the tint because it took two weeks longer to get it than they told me. 30%, which looks good enough with the dark interior.

It has 5 miles on it when I got it. So thats about as new as it gets.

It was Sewell of Fort Worth. My salesperson was Mark Folchert. My mom has bought a couple of SUVs from him and has had good luck. The people there are generally really helpful.

It wasn't a factory order. That is what I would have had to do to get a SGM, black, with ML. They told me 120 days is best case. 150 is more realistic. I didn't want to wait that long. I figured I could live without the ML if I could get it 3 months quicker. They were able to find this one about a week after they started looking then took 3-4 weeks to get it here. Apparently it is a hard color combo to find.

MSRP was 43,750. I got it for 40,000, then plus TTL and minus my trade. I thought it was a fair price.

Another note. While I was at the dealership and had pulled my car into the service bay I way a huge tree branch (8 inch diameter, 10 feet long) get blown into one of the loner cars parked out front. Just glad it wasn't mine.
