Default Crystal White IS350

Hey, just got my IS 350 on sunday!! Got the car for $33,800 full option and only with 4 miles on it. My friend has a 250 and the speed does not compare with the 350. Really awesome car .

Anyway, my friend told me to red out the tail lights but I was thinking black would look better...what do you all think? Red or Black? if there are any white is owners out there who have the black tail lights please post.

IS!!!

Hi. I'm not even sure what color my car is exactly. on the fob key it says white Pearl. But it looks crystal white. Anyways this is what smoke out tails look like.

Haha yeah...we were paying in cash so it was more like "take it or leave it" mentality. I got the sports package, w/navi, hid, back up camera, afs, ml, 18 chromes with all weather type mats to go with it

This is VERY hard to believe. That should have been over $40K with those options. Besides, Crystal White is an '06 color.

Whether you pay in cash really is immaterial to a car dealer. He gets his money one way or the other, so strutting in with a wad of cash doesn't impress anybody. And a 'take it or leave it' mentality doesn't get you too far, either. No way you got all you said you did for the price you said unless the dealer is a family friend who did you a favor and lost money on the transaction, or you have some other 'in' with Toyota/Lexus. What is the rest of the story that you haven't told us?

It's possible. There are ways to do so, but this is not a "typical" case...

I call BS. You forgot to include the Accord or Camry you traded in.

I'll pay you a $2000 commission to deliver me the same spec car you got at the same terms. A brand new loaded IS350 with Sports and ML, less than 50 miles, no accident or other strings attached does not exist at your price.

People are paying that much for 250s OTD and those are considered great deals

A fully optioned IS350 runs almost $48,000. Does your car have Mark Levinson? How about pre-crash system? Intuative park assist? Headlight cleaners? If not, your car is not fully optioned. It sounds like all you have is the sport package and nav. and dealer added chrome wheels. That is NOT fully optioned. Also, your car retails for around $43,000 so if you got it for $33,800 that's almost a $10,000 discount!! Is it possible? Well, if you did, you are truly my hero!!
