Default Bought an IS350

Hello all,

3 days ago I bought a '06 IS350 Fully loaded SGM on Black. It's in exceptional condition for the price of an IS250 =) with a 6 year extended warranty. He was a bit pissed to sell it that low. I'm a happy camper, been lurking here for a year.

The potential car list before the IS350 was G35, E46, MINI Cooper S, yes and a Yaris Hatch.

Coming from a VW Passat, I needed something more reliable, yet I used it as my Daily Driver now.

The power is Sexi.

I know how you feel, I bought mine over a week ago, and believe it or not, still have yet to physically see it/sit in it etc... (Coming from outta state)

Oddly enough though, with the given circumstances, I'm only slightly excited at the moment. A little anxious for certain, but I know on Monday when it arrives, once I see it in person, sit in it, drive it, I will be as giddy as humanly possible with permagrin abundant

Anyways, from one IS noob to another, congratz on your recent purchase!

Thanks everyone! but man, I need to lifts some weights again or something. My arms were tired after driving the car compared to the boaty passat suspension.

Tints and lips are the first mods to come...will prob go with the GFX lip.
