Hmmm... 10 months of car payments, huh!?
I've been thinking about it doing it myself. I was not brave enough to actually pull it off though....
But, I have a new excuse now.... I'm going to wait for GS460!!

I noticed your car has pinstripes. Did you by any chance get your car from the Ft Worth Dealer? I was just looking at the cars on the lot on Monday and noticed that every car had pinstripes. Guess they don't give you a choice!

I am in Houston and the GS300 AWD had pinstripes, tinted windows, and 17"chome
wheels when I brought it off the showroom floor.

um, whats 10month of car payments? If you're paying about $350 per month, then thats only $3500 for the upgrade. Which is nothing. That was a good deal.

Matador Red is a hot color, especially in the direct sunlight, there was no other choice for me.

I could be wrong and the OP may have gotten a great deal, but in
my opinion it is at least a 10K hit to do this. To some people 10K is
pocket change, but unfortunately it's too much for the to do the
same

Congrats on the car.
