INHOCJP, thanks for the link to the aftermarket parts thread. I didn't know that L-Tuned was dead. I liked the fact that the dealer was installing this stuff.

BTW, I went to the dealership and checked out the IS350 and GS430. The IS350 Nav looks better than the GS. Acceleration was better in the IS, particularly at higher RPM's. I would bet the GS would beat the IS350 off the line, but would quickly fall behind. Both of these cars have one me over versus the Gen2, both driver tighter and carry better add ons.

The IS350 is very inticing, but the GS just fits me better. Apparently, availability of the IS350 with the higher end features is pretty bad too, whereas the GS is shipping only fully loaded to the dealership...

So, can anybody share their GS430 purchase price with me? PM me if you're willing to share, I'll let you know where I end up as well...

Thanks!

Hey thanks folks for the feedback. Well, I went in yesterday and got the GS430 - I went with Silver with the gray/black interior. I'm very happy...time to accessorize!

Congratulations on the purchase! You picked a great color combo. Definitely post some pics.

I paid 51,600 for a fully loaded GS430 (including destination and adv allowance, that's $1000 over invlice) plus tax and license. Everything except the Pre-collision System.

That's a great deal. Who was your dealer? Share the wealth with other potential buyers.
