Longo will not give me any discount if I elect not to have the radio put in. I guess I will get the radio for free. There is an option of paying $500 upfront for "lifetime" Sirius subscription. This may be an option. I think I get my money back after about 3 years. I hear that the music and songs are sometime not the original singer but repackaged songs.
Longo is charging $2500 over invoice on the GS430- I think it come out to $53,900 or so. I can order the exact color I want- they will just order it from Japan.
Make sure you keep the car at least 3 years...once you get rid of the car...the lifetime subscription goes with it since that is what they mean by "lifetime". Its forever as long as you keep that receiver from what I understand. I have not heard anything but original music thus far...but maybe I'm not listening to a genre that has the repackaged songs.
Good luck...hopefully next month I'll be able to be heading down that path myself. COME ON ACCOUNTANT!
