[Dylans3960ccs]

[Scottina06]

[Scottina06]

lol......we bought it at their annual decemeber to remember and i believe it was around $34k....from a sticker of close to $40k

[dreamer1213]

Super nice and super shiny Scott...I've always like the IS series!

[Scottina06]

Its even nicer to drive.....but I wish it was the 350. Its my wifes though and I rarely get into it....

[B.P.O.D]

Its shiny!!!!!!!!!!

[White WK Swagga]

My GF has an IS too. It's a nice well built fun car. Just a lil small. The 2door IS convertible is the ugliest lexus ever made IMO. For the money I'd take a 3 series or g37 convertible. But she looks great Scott!!! 10's :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

[Scottina06]

Nate-we drove the 3 and the G and the Merc and as far as build quality, options and maintenance costs...it just wasnt close. All three were very nice....just didnt do it for us.

[White WK Swagga]

In the sedan category The lexus is the best buy. As far as coupe convertibles I don't like the lexus is coupe at all from what I seen. I have to see it on the road in different colors I guess. I wish NY did away with the front license plate.

[Scottina06]

yeah......I havent seen the IS-C yet except for convertibles. I know the IS-F is one sick ride.....my wife had one as a loaner

[White WK Swagga]

she got an IS-f AS A LOANER??? They'd never see that car again in NY. LOL

[Scottina06]

she got an IS-f AS A LOANER??? They'd never see that car again in NY. LOL


theres a story behind it though....thye wanted me to buy an IS-F and even invited to take me to Chicago when the IS-F was first released for a track day. They were just trying to bait us to buy it......

[White WK Swagga]

Oh ok I was about to say. I seen a few of them on the road. I love the IS-F wheels.

[B.P.O.D]

i raced an is-f the other day and SMOKED his ass wtih my 3.7:) hehe just kidding. he smoked me:)

[Scottina06]

they do have some sick wheels...especially on the Neiman Marcus edition

[Dylans3960ccs]

[Scottina06]

its a special edition IS-F

[White WK Swagga]

-F is to lexus what M is to BMW, or SRT is to chrysler & Jeep.

[Dylans3960ccs]

^^ I know ^^

I just haven't kept up with other car compines very much I guess-Scott

[White WK Swagga]

What AMG is to Mercedes, What TRD is to toyota, What Grey Goose is to me...

[B.P.O.D]

[Dylans3960ccs]

[White WK Swagga]

I love the hood. I'm not crazy over the stacked exhaust tho...

[nifty97z]

So Scott....both the rides in your driveway are on the same aspect of the color spectrum...what's up with that?? Lol!

[White WK Swagga]

I wish I could get my GF the IS-F charcoal wheels on a starfire pearl would look sweet!!!!

[Scottina06]

[White WK Swagga]

We had a huge snow storm on the saturday after black friday and my GF wanted to go shopping. I was like I don't know cause I know her car is AWD but it was BAD out. But that car was awesome in the snow. Like it wasn't even showing. She makes me nervous driving in general but That car is great in the snow. Even took it on a road trip from Long Island to Philly in february and it was great. I love the adaptive HID headlights, and air conditioned seats. Wish my truck had that.

[Scottina06]

yeah...the adaprive hid's and the cooled seats are the bomb. I believe the next gen WK will have the cooled seats

[blackpepper]

you're the bomb scooter!

[Scottina06]

i know

[nifty97z]

Yeah resale kinda sucks roght now. But my resale didn't plummit like most everyone elses; I bought mine used for a good deal and trade in on mine isn't far off from that of which I paid ;) Still not Lexus resale though, lol.

[Scottina06]

I was jokin guys....LOL

[nifty97z]

No harm done, Scott; but it is the truth. Chrysler Corp. resales fell through the basement, lol.

[blackpepper]

"fell through the basement"

I guess I have to get used to that term these days lol

[nifty97z]

Well, you're not the only one. A lot of American cars are getting the shaft :(

[Scottina06]

all cars are not doing so well....

[White WK Swagga]

My sticker price for my 09 jeep was $40k I got it for $26k brand new after Employee++ and talking them down. I'm hoping in 3-4 years since it's a limited it'll be worth more than I owe. Tho only kinda bad but not so bad thing is it's a 3.7.

[Scottina06]

yep...3.7 is gonna hurt ya a little...but the limited options will help
