Thanks for the kind words all!
I was a long time admirer of the IS 300 so this is a perfect fit so far...at least after 1 week of ownership. :D It's replacing a Honda S2000 so I think that says a lot about the fun factor with this car...
I'll do my best to answer all questions starting now....
MartinC, leased it, so I paid sticker (31k US). Is it just inflated where you are or are they trying to force a premium?
No problem Caspa....
In addition to finding a manual in the exact color combo we wanted (got very lucky, there was one in transit on our first visit to the dealership who had only seen one manual pass through since release)....we got the 18-in Alloy Wheels with Summer Tires + Rear spoiler. This package only adds about $1000 bucks to the base price. This car seems to come loaded with just about everything so that was all I needed...except the 350's engine + sport package...maybe next time :winky:
Thanks Niraj, it's 15%, the guy that does it is awesome. He's tinted all my cars for the past 10 years. It took him just over 3 hours to do this car. All of the curved and angled windows were a real pain in the :tsktsk: !
