Default My first new car, my first Lexus!

I never thought I would buy a car brand new, figured I was losing money that I didn't have to if I just waited till I found one used. Well that went out the window when I saw the RC 350 F sport. I previously owned a 2008 Evo MR but I was getting tired of the ride quality and I just knew something was going to break eventually that would cost entirely too much for what it was, so I moved on up to the most reliable and undeniably one of the most beautiful cars on the road. I am more than happy with this car and look forward to many years of loving and doting on this car. Got a little dusty on the drive but just gives it some character. Have already taken some advice and wrapped the sills and lower door panel and LED'd everything I could, still waiting on backup lights. CAI is next and exhaust down the road. Thanks to everyone that has posted all the helpful information.

Better choice than an evo...not fast but definitely better.

congrats on the beautiful ride

The stock intake system is actually already cold air. So most people just change the intake pipe and the filter keeping the stock airbox. Some exhaust systems should becoming for it

USB is a beautiful color! I would rather have that than the silver IMO

Congrats! Nice choice!
Also my first new car purchase. Leaving my SC430 was tough, this really brings it all together. I am in Love.
