Default Purchasing Question

Hello everyone I am new to the forum and will soon be an owner of an IS 350, the big question is which one. I am located in Rochester, NY and we dont get a lot of used IS350s up here. I have found an 06 Tugsten Peral IS350 with all of the options I want (NAV, ML, LP, Spyder Wheels and rear privacy shade) but it is about 600 miles away and not my first color choice, I would prefer white or matador red. My local dealer wants me to give them $1,000.00 and they promised me they can find me an 06 IS 350 with all of the options I want in the color I want if I give them two weeks. What do you guys think? What are the chances of finding a used car with all of those options in one of those colors? The only reason Silver was not my first color choice is because it is the color of my current truck and I was looking to switch it up but it still looks great.

Thanks and this forum is great!

Tom

Try an auto broker. For $0 up front they will most likely find the car you want and will charge you less overall than the dealer. They can also get you financing if you need it.

Otherwise you could try www.autotrader.com and do a search. You may have to travel or have it shipped but you will open your options up.
