Dallas. Car was serviced in Friendswood though so it was in Houston. Sewell put the G-Spider wheels on it here for another customer but they backed out of the sale. Worked out good for me. No upcharge

46K. It's pretty well optioned. ML, NAV and park assist. It was a 1 owner and dealer daily shows all regular maintenance done at a Lexus dealer. No rattles and interior wear is minimal to non existent. The paint is not bad but it does need some attention. My bet is it was always washed at the dealer. If you have ever owned black you know, gotta treat it with kid gloves. I'll get it whipped back into shape. The wife loves it and that is the most important thing. I'm glad to have the V8. I'm an American hot rod guy at heart.

Thanks. Glad to be out of that Infiniti. Not that the infiniti was a bad car it's just not for us.

Brrrr. Honestly I like the painted wheels better than the chrome. Not enough to change them though. I do like the G-spider wheels better than the standard wheels.

Sewell is pretty good about prepping their cars when they cert them. I know they took care of all the rattles we developed in our his and hers IS's that we bought new from them back in 07.

This car seems to be in exceptionally good condition for the miles. Perhaps a smaller man or an older woman was the primary and only driver. I say this because there is no seat wear to speak of and no heel wear pattern in the floor mats. Then again, maybe it's as simple as this one has already been de-rattled. LOL.
