kel_zhang Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 Last month, I made a mistake to drop my wife in a Lexus dealer when I went to the bank around. Then, it happened. :chairshot: After 2 hours, I switched my 2000 Toyota Celica GTS for a brandnew 2004 IS300. The sales manager really did a great job to persuade me to make the decision. Here is the details specification of the car. Do you guys think the price is reasonable? IS300 E-Shift Auto Winter premium package with dual heated seats Rear spoiler Car mats and cargo mat Rear entertainment system with 2 7"LCD screens Rear view camera K40-2000 hidden rader detector Installed XM radio Price: 28,500. :cries: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviej Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 a brandnew 2004 IS300. Rear entertainment system with 2 7"LCD screens Rear view camera Installed XM radio Price: 28,500.:cries: I wasn't aware these three items were factory installed options. The XM I will concede because of the LS/ES installations lately. Are the LCD screens in the headrests or flipdowns. Even though it is a 2004, how many miles are on it? I ask because, my 2002 was bought in 2002 and toted as new by the dealer, the bank and my insurance company but it had 10,500 miles on it. I can't help but wonder if the questioned extras are aftermarket add ons, but hey, if the dealer is covering them under the 4 year/50,000 mile warranty then I would say that you got a good deal. steviej Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kel_zhang Posted September 21, 2004 Author Share Posted September 21, 2004 This is the dealer's demo car. Only 50 miles. Dealer installed all the toys which were not in the invoice price. The hidden radar detector is very cool. I think it is a necessary tool for anyone driving this racing car. I just drove 600 miles in 2 days from NJ to DC. Average speed was around 90 miles. The detector did not miss any potential enemies. For your reference, the trade-in value of my 2000 Celica was $11,000. It was bought in 2000 with 50,000 miles.

steviej Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 If all the toys are included in the 4 years/50k mile warranty, then I would say you got yourself a nice ride at a decent price. Enjoy. steviej PS, think about showing it off at the upcoming Lexus meet right outside of NYC on 10/3/04. Here is the link. I will hook you up with the best non-dealer installed option: LOC window stickers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kel_zhang Posted September 21, 2004 Author Share Posted September 21, 2004 They told me these toys have one-year warranty from dealer only. I would like to join this event. Of course I want to have that sticker. Shall I bring some drink or burgers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviej Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 no alcohol allowed, but you could bring sodas. contact LOC member: lexusk8 to find out what is needed. People have already signed up to bring stuff. lexusk8 is the event coordinator. steviej Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
