Default I got a '06 GS300 and It's awesome! I just wanted to thank you all for your help!

Hey Everyone,
Here is my new baby. Sorry if the link is really long. Its the autotrader ad where I found it. http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.js...uel=&cardist=8

Man I love this car. Its in immaculate condition. I almost feel like I'm buying new. I can't believe how things worked out in the end, but man did they work out for the best. You all were very instrumental in my decision to go with this vehicle instead of the ES 350 and for that I just have to say THANK YOU!

The car is everything I was hoping for, and by buying just slightly used I got it for practically ten thousand less, which was exactly my price point on the ES. Plus, best of all, I really screwed my Lexus of Richmond dealership out of a sale (They were the ones that "Lost" my special order ES after I waited 4 months for it) and that makes me feel VERY good. I think thats called Karma. Lol, at this point they probably still think I'm buying a new ES from them. I'll let them know some day. Or even better, they'll find out when I come driving up in this beauty.

So in the end, as many of you have said, things do happen for a reason and I feel very fortunate that they did work out this way. I may not have as much back seat room, but man, it really seems to be a chick magnet. I've already gotten a few looks I think. And I'm still young and this is probably more my speed. I wouldn't say I'm an aggressive driver but its fun to have the HP to work with once in awhile.

Well, its been quite the adventure and its been great talking it over with you fine people.

Matthew

Oh and here is a picture if you don't feel like clicking the ad. The ad has about 9 more photos though.

wow. great car. GOod for you. Maybe in 1 year's time, you could come back with an ES. By that time, the quirks should be minimized with the 08 models. Share more specs on that GS..does it come with nav, etc. Take more pics of the interior as well. hehe

Cocopops, it has Nav and Mark Levinson and its AWD. Wasn't an easy car to locate being that those first two were uncommon options for the 300.

Very nice! Enjoy your new wheels and as it sounds you bought what you wanted at a decent price, don't ever look back.

I'm glad your dealer didn't get the sale.
