Welcome to the world of agonizing over every little noise you hear while the thing is turned on! What were you driving before?

Thanks everyone! I appreciate welcome and can relate to the long week. I'll definitely get some pics posted soon once the rain clears up. It's surprisingly been raining here in SoCal.

$31.5K was my pre-tax sale price.

As far as noise goes, I've been lurking the forums for about 9 months prior to getting the GS. I've read about the consistent noise issues, be it dash rattles or break grind. I wasn't sure if this would be the ride for me but in the end, so far so good. When I test drove it, it did have an odd rattle (which I think was the floor mat clip sitting in the door tray - no longer hearing it) and also some brake grind. The brake grind seems to be gone too as I was informed they replaced the brakes prior to delivery.

Not sure if any mods will go on this. The only mod right now will be tint all the way around.

Also - prior ride was an '06 RX400h and before that a 2000 Accord V6 Coupe

How many miles? Did you get Nav/ML/Vented seats/rain sensing wipers/rear sunshade etc?

May I ask which dealer you bought it from and how much they took off the listed price? I've been searching for a used GS in socal for the past few weeks and I don't remember seeing a 2008 listed for that low.
