come on...you don't need a car right away. wait for the 350.

I just replied to your other post in my other thread.

Let me think about it and I will get back to you.

Good night.

Lexus is'nt actually producing any more 430 or 300 engines for the GS model any more. Lexus has for the last year & 1/2 been assembling thousands of their new 3.5 V6, 3.5w/electric motor V6 and 4.6 V8 engines. They have to start way ahead of time so by the time the bigger city lexus dealers recieve they're first GS demos they will have enough to supply the demand immediately. Your dealer was right when he said it isnt being made any more. but the 430 GS should still be very much for sale. In my area lexus dealer the lot is full of new 430s and 300s. but people are'nt buying them because they are holding them selves back for the new and improved 2007 GS350, GS350awd, GS450h and GS40 models. Lexus probably pushed their last 430 and 300 off the assembly line more than 6mnths ago. Once your dealer sales out of them it might be hard to get one from your dealer, look else where. If you have to have a GS right now there is nothing wrong with buying a nice 300 or 430 but if you can, please wait I garantee you'll be more satisfied by a thousand times. There will soon 4 GS models for sale to meet every lexus drivers needs what ever that may be. [B]O YEAH I HOPE LEXUS WILL THROW IN THE NEW LS 8 speed automatic with the new 2007 GS460 that will be great I'll pay the extra bucks![/B]
. Good luck!

Thank you very much for your feedback. I greatly appreciate it.

It looks like I will be looking at the GS Hybrid. Have a good day.

You are a very generous and loving son!!!

Does the 51K include tax?
