  1. The rule of thumb for a dealer job (which is mostly outsourced anyways, with a markup) is that the first run is half-assed. Then you complain and the second run is much better. I agree that even authorized installers don't do a good job. I had to send mine back to fix areas that were bubbling up, and they dinged my car in the process :cries:
  2. What's the spec on the wheels and tires? I can't seem to find the minimum recommended offset anywhere... Do you know what they are or where I can get it? Love the tint by the way. I wish I can do the same on mine, but I just know some cop will make me take it off someday
  3. We recently looked at the last 08's as well as 09's, with the same packages. The number you got is about the same as what we would have gotten a 09 for. But we went with the 08 as it was still cheaper than that, obviously.
  4. I also had a squeaking noise, but from the sunroof. The dealer stressed to me that the sound must be reproduced before they know what to do. So i took a 30 min test drive with one of the techs and finally managed to reproduce it going through some bumps. After that they took care of it and I never heard it again.
  5. that is the general concensus isn't it. but in any case, IS rules! :D
  6. I wouldn't take my IS to snowboarding, but that's just me.
  7. I agree with HSK. But here are my 2 cents. I also went with the 350, having tested all 3 models. The 250RWD and AWD isn't a lot of difference, and it isn't necessarily safer. You should definately testdrive both models. I personally like the 350 for the better power, but my gf went with the 250 for the right package and the lower price. You can definately get any remaining 08's for lower then invoice and the new 09's for under MSRP. I purchased my 350 at Pleasanton Lexus, and I would definately recommend visiting them for comparison.
  8. Sport Package... other than the suspension, not sure what the difference is... Eh don't worry about it just enjoy. What's the different though, I'm curious.
  9. Sport Package... other than the suspension, not sure what the difference is...
  10. Hi Everyone, I am new to this forum, I've recently purchased a 2006 IS350 black/black, with the works. I felt that a fully loaded 06 was a better deal than a brand new one, given that the previous owned took very good care of it. I just wanted to say that so far I am very impressed with the car like most of you. I've been a manual tranny driver for almost 10 years, and this is the car that pried me away from it. Bao
