Hey guys, I'm purchasing a 2003 GS 300 Sport Design. Its graphite grey exterior with Saddle interior, No Nav. 45k miles and a one owner. It is at McGrath Lexus of Chicago. Its CPO as well so it will have a 3 year/100k warranty. I just graduated college so I qualified for Lexus's college grad financing program. I'm getting the car for $23,995. They gave me financing of ZERO down and 6.99% for 60 months. What do you guys think of this deal?
Also TTE lip on the car...

car sounds nice...but a few things; first off why would you want to put NOTHING down on a car? dont get me wrong, 7% is a decent rate, but why not drop as much cash as you can to lower the payments and the amount of interest youll be paying in the long run.. also, why take a 5 year loan out? IF you've got the money, do a 3 or 4 year. total interest will obviously be lower as well with either of those. theres a REASON why they offer you ZERO down; it means more interest for the bank and 99% of the time the dealer is also getting a cut of that from the back end, they love it. 5 years is a longgggggggg time to be paying off a car, youll probably get rid of it before its paid off. im going through all the financing bs myself right now too with another gs so i figured id remind you to think about other options.

wow. thats quite a list. have you actually bought any of these parts yet? id like to see how she comes out when most of this is on. you should really keep us updated. ive always been a fan of the gunmetal gs with the saddle interior. the only thing i could never get along side was the fact that i cant have this color combo with the V8. that totally killed it for me i CANT go to a 300 after driving a 400 for 3 years, and im not trying to throw money down on turbo parts either. dont forget to check Carson (one of our CL sponsors, you can find more from them in the Vendor Marketplace section) for the tein cs v2 coilovers, they have a better price. i just got mine from them this past weekend.
