The G37 needed tires so....

....I got some and a Lexus IS350. First, the tires I got were just the same RE050A's that came on the car and the total came to $1068. 19's suck for real!

I also picked up an 06 IS350 with 23k miles yesterday, white with black leather, nav, ML, and the sport and premium packages. The car is CPO and I got it for $31k + tax. Not a smoking deal or anything but I'm satisfied and I FINALLY get my IS350 (been wanting one since they came out). Ostensibly its my fiance's car but I've got my own key! Didn't get a chance to take too many pics but here are some:
















Btw, I know the inside's a mess but the Lexus dealer is doing a full delivery detail on Saturday so I'll post better pics then.

Nice pick up, but I would have to agree with you, the deal wasnt that great...my friend got a 2006 IS350, same options as yours with 14k miles, a year ago, for 31k (CPO)

amazing cars nonetheless!

Suite!!! Congrats!! As long as you're happy with what you paid for the car, it's all good. I wish I would've went with the 350 instead of the 250...

Congrats dude!

Two nice cars to drive in one garage. I'd have a hard time picking which one to drive.

The car is nice, but the price is not. I would do without CPO for 23K miles. I too wanted an IS350, but they were rare used, at the time, so maybe that explains the price. Congrats!

Bingo! I wanted a 350 with nav and this was the only one in the Jacksonville area.

You're going to let the dealer do a full detail? I hope they know what they're doing.

Nice car!


But you couldn't haggle them down a bit? You SERIOUSLY overpayed, rare or not...

In any case, use it in good health!

We walked but they wouldn't budge. We really wanted the car so oh well. Could have gotten a better deal in another area for sure....
