Talking Finally got a new car thanks to McGrath Lexus again

Well the IS is officially gone after many months of looking. I ended up in a GS430 and purchased for once and not leased. I am very happy with the car and my decision. The car has just enough room and rides great. I believe it has everything in it. Will see how long I can last with not modding the car out

here are the pics they took....









thanks for looking!
Mike

Congrats Mike! Car looks great. I love the G-Spyder wheels. I am sure you are already looking for mods

thanks Vik....no modding at least not right now. I am BROKE!! after buying this expensive car. But I am very happy with it and feel it was a good decision for the long haul.

I will get winter rims/tires I am sure but that is about it for now unless anyone wants to donate!

By the way if anyone wants All Weather Mats (in great condition) or Floor mats for the 350 in BLK I want to sell them local. Make a decent offer on then and they are yours! I will have to get new mats for the GS so they fit.

Yes its a V8 Its all loaded up like my IS was. ML, DVD, Navi, Park Assist, ect...one thing that is different or weird. Not sure if I like it is the wood steering where. I guess its standard on the GS and I have never had a car with it in the past. Feels nice but I am not sold on it just yet. It has the same red wood as the IS does. It looks better in the GS IMO then it did on the IS. I like the silver trim on the IS that came with the sport package. I wish I had that in my IS but the CF overlays did a good job to cover it up! I want to see how the lights are at night time as I havent been in the car when its dark.

They will make money off my IS I am sure. Once they saw it they wanted it more! My car had more miles then what they had on the lot but my car was by far in better and cleaner condition. the front bumper was beat up from rocks and salt from winter driving. I need to get a clear bra from Tim asap before i get any chips. I think this has 2 rock chips on the front and I had several on the IS. Car seems to have been taken good care of but its certified used so I am covered for some time

I will bring it to the next gathering for everyone to see or drive if you want!

Mike

Sounds good. Does your front driver side mat have a hole in it yet?

nope they don't (its not worn at all), I don't know why I didn't have that problem but I didn't use them year round and I didn't drive the car that much. They are yours....I will bring them next time we meet or if you are around just let me know
