Default I just realized i got a terrible deal. i think

i was looking through some papers and i found the original sticker for the car.

the price they gave me was

$41,500

and the sticker was $43,000

i just realized im a total moron for buying it at that price.

you can let me know if im a moron too if you like lol.

Only $1,500 off?? Yes you could of done better.

You are in California where competition is significant.

I'm sure you could of gotten $2,000+ more off!

People have been getting $5,000 off sticker.

Damage is done already, so enjoy your car!

Don't sweat it. Move on. Don't regret the purchase. It's not worth the heartache and buyer's remorse. It's done.

The F-Sport Intake is one to consider, but there are probably better sounding intakes out there.

What are you doing to upgrade the sound system?

well it isnt terrible but i agree more money could have been saved...

one thing we must keep in mind is purchase time? meaning when did you make this deal?

if the deal was made during this economic climate then the deal isnt so great...

another consideration is location...being in cali a lot of competition is relevant

here in the northeast at least CT...2 dealerships serve the whole state. not many options!!!

I love my car. When i bought it, it was one of the best moments of my life because i have wanted an IS since the 06 came out.

but other than that, i can do nothing but enjoy it.

and i have decided not to do anything to the performance because i just got a ticket for going 70/35.

ticket was 490.

but other than that, im powdercoating glossy black, red caliper paint.
maybe a roof spoiler ??

any suggestions u guys have just tell me.

and as for the sound system... i found this deal

2 12 inch kenwood, 1000 watt amp. and installation and i think box also just for 250

but i would rather have JL.

again any suggestions would be a great for a noob like me =]

Yeah and a IS350 in Canada is $10, 000 more than the US.

I threated my dealership I'd go to the US to pick one up and they knocked a couple thousand off
