Yea. Like there is no "Well....this other dealer is giving me this price for this car. So we're just stuck with what we got.

The car sounded a bit louder(Don't know if thats true, but it sounded louder to me), the acceleration is really nice, and I was able to get almost everything besides the OEM kit, 18' Rims, and a OEM spoiler. The Lexus Dealer was so nice he even gave me a free pair of Key Fob Gloves. These didn't really bother me at all since I will be modding this car sooner or later.
Congratulations on your new purchase! I just wanted to let you know, the dealership wasnt being nice to you. The leather key fob gloves comes with the purchase of any new vehicle.

Congrats on the new car, but be careful with your finances. You mentioned that your mom cosigned, but you are responsible for all payments. That's a lot of payment to have responsibility for at a (presumably) young age three months into your career.

I'd be excited, too - just make sure you're not in over your head! Generally, it's a good idea to make sure you're going to "fit" into a new job before laying out lots of cash for capital purchases.

Now if Mom gave you a huge chunk of change for the down payment, ignore this post. Given that she allowed you to dump a new car after a few months and get into more debt (at a $5k loss), this could very well be the case.

Congrats on the upgrade! I recently traded my 250 for 350 and it does sound a bit more aggressive but that just could be me. But you beat me by 9 months. Trust me you're not spoiled. My mom is paying for the car and insurance.
