Well congrats but I believe you won't be keeping this car for long. You will likely be trading up in no time. Trust me I made the same move a few years ago.
I had an Electric Blue Evo VIII with the Sun, Sound, and Leather Package, AMS reflash, full turboback exhaust, etc. I traded it in for a brand new 2008 IS250 awd and to this day I regret the decision. Not with buying a Lexus but with buying an IS250. The first few months were great and I loved the luxury but then the power just really started to get to me. I realized that the IS250 was the slowest and least powerful car I have ever owned, even after the cars I owned in highschool. Within a year of buying the car new I traded it in for a used IS350 with only 8500 miles. I just regret that I didn't buy the IS350 first because i'm very happy with it and plan to keep the car until it's no longer running.
Dang. if anything I will give this to my gf if that time ever comes and go get myself a 350 =) win win situation lol. Thanks for the heads up though!

This is why I was insisting to the dealer that I wanted an iS350 F-Sport. He was trying hard to push that iS250 F-Sport that was on the showroom on me. I test drove that 250 and it just had no kick. Coming from a vette, that car would have had me ticked off every day on these Houston freeways.
after 200+ miles, no complaints yet. I am either stuck in traffic or cruising after a long day at work updates will follow after i get the HP bug. LOL.
Grats your new is250 F Sport. Evo is manual stick? There is manual stick on is250?
Thanks man. The evo was a manual, got sick of being stuck on the freeway. So i switched to the automatic is250, these past 2 days on the freeway has been great!
