Finally did it! Picking up GS350 tomorrow!
Hey guys, I finally did it and got myself a GS. After years of wanting a GS (8 years) I went into 5 dealers in NJ and couldn't find a black on black GS with Navi. The one dealer told me that they would have one off a ship and docking in Newark, NJ on April 4th. I got the call yesterday that it is at the dealer early and I am picking it up tomorrow. I really wanted this car since the GS400 was out in 98 and I was 15. Now i finally got the job I was looking for and was fortunate enought to pull the trigger. I am really excited and will probably not sleep much tonight. I almost settle for Black with tan interior, but didn't want to just give up. At last I found my 08 GS350 AWD w/ Navi. I am having it tinted on Friday (5% all the way around) and next step is rim shopping.

Congratulations! I had to wait about 6 weeks to get the color combo + ML/Nav that I wanted, but it was well worth the wait. (btw - you sure about 5% tint? I read somewhere in this forum that at least one person said it was too dark at night,...haven't had it myself so I personally don't know - I'm sure it will look good though!)

You'll love the black on black, great choice -- very elegant looking. Black also makes your car look larger and more intimidating. Glad you got what you wanted. You'll also love the ML and nav.
Post again soon and tell us what you think.

thanks guys, I will definitely take pics the first sunny day outside. I had 5% tint on my Pontiac so I am used to the night. I must say though, it is really dark at night when you are parking and looking for the curb.

Congratulations! It sounds like we were in similar situations. I have waited for years for a new Lexus and finally was financially able to acquire one after landing a dream job. I just picked up my 08 GS350 AWD yesterday afternoon and it is an absolute dream. It still feels surreal that I finally have it! It drives extraordinarily well and the technology is world class. I am impressed beyond my wildest expectations. You will LOVE your new GS! You may also spend an inordinate amount of time searching for spacious and safe parking spots wherever you go. :-)
