So the time has come to let go of the "Black Princess" and the "Lady in Red." Sold my baby to a new owner today. His buddy found my Craigslist ad and that was it..he fell in love with the car and called his folks and the $$$$$ came in from overseas. He plans to daily the car so its a 4x4 now compared to how I had it. here are some links of my baby. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...hy-thread.html https://www.clublexus.com/forums/bui...with-pics.html https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...t-finally.html

Be a father (5 kids between my girlfriend and I ), get another home again, and save more for the down payment. Thanks for the love.

Sad to see it go, it was/is an amazing car, but sometimes the best decisions are the hardest decisions... sounds like you've got your priorities in the right spot. Best of luck!!

Sad I never got to see your car in person It was one of those cars that make you go "Damn. New screensaver." First time I saw it on the Canibeat feature, fell in love! But definitely understand why it had to go and I wish you luck with everything

One of the finest 2IS rides I've ever seen. my friend. You were a great influence in helping shape my ride. Hopefully the new owner will appreciate the hard work you put into her, even if it's going to be a daily ride. But family first! Don't stray far from the Lexus community. Best of luck with your future endeavors!

Put it to you this way, you NEVER get what you paid in upgrades. I knew that from the start. If you ever think that you better have a muscle car. I spent about 25K in upgrades. Sold the car for 22K which is more than what a normal 06' IS250 is worth but not nearly what I spent on it. Even if you part out you'll never get it back.

Tha LS guys for all the props and love. Everyone here has been super cool and I'm glad I could have helped in the CL community.
