Default I Survived the Wait!!!

Barely........ but my car is finally here. My sales rep called me up this morning to let me know the truck had arrived and my car was about to be unloaded.

I know I probably didn't wait as much as some people have here, should consider myself lucky, but I am not patient when it comes to waiting on things I buy. When I was told they did not have the car I wanted and had to wait, it drove me crazy and then the wait itself drove me insane (specially my wife since she had to put up with me going everyday like "I can't wait for my car" "where's my car?" "OMG I'm going crazy waiting"... ) I ended up waiting about a month for it but it is here and I get to pick it up in about an hour now. I went to see it when it arrived (I live 10 blocks from the dealership) and should be ready soon for pickup. They had to do the inventory and detail it etc etc...

It is an Ultra White/Rioja Red IS350 F-Sport and it is replacing my 2011 SGM IS350 F-Sport, wish I could keep both cars but I already have another toy (300zx)

Here's a few pics:


These were taken and sent to me by my sales rep. (which by the way, he's great! Thumbs up)






And these, I took when I went to see it arriving.







Now this waiting to pickup the car is killing me lol

LOL! I'm already a month into what could be 3-5 month wait with virtually no update what so ever from the dealer and you are dying waiting a month!

Congratz! Car looks nice! Also it's nice of your sales guy to send your photos of your car getting unloaded. I wish I had a sales guy who did that kind of service!

Also after talking to the sales guy Lexus has a limited production run of the UW / Red 350 F-sports. There will not be many of them made. Majority of them will be 250 F-sports. So if you got a 350 in this color combo consider yourself lucky. Apparently I got the last one that this dealer will be getting this year that is not special ordered.

I got the exact same car being swapped around between dealers today. UW with Rioja Red Interior, ML Audio, VGRS, BSM and the Trunk Mat, Cargo Net, Wheel Locks and Bumper Appliqué.

VERY NICE and Congrats!

I also test drove one in the same color combination but it didn't have ML Audio or VGRS which I wanted. Hope to have it within a week. In person it looks really nice.
