Default GOODBYE, new ride

I just wanted to say thanks to everyone for their advice and help with my gs350. Club Lexus has been very helpfull the last three years. I even purchased 4 run flats from another member, I forget who, that got me through my lease. My only advice is don't get the oem runflats..I went through two sets and only put on 30k miles. My new ride is a 2010 Honda Pilot ex-l with rear ent. sys. I'll post a pic of the old and new when I get it thursday.

You should've kept them both. I must say, the Pilot is the most comfortable car I've owned so far in terms of convenience/usability and features. It won't disappoint you.

The Honda Pilot is a pretty nice car, I wouldn't call it a downgrade but a lifestyle change and possibly different needs.

Dang, your dealer gave you 28k? how many miles did you have on it? I think you got away with a pretty good dealership trade in price.

Now that is the politically correct way to put it
