The 18" wheels are probably wider too, and wide tires don't perform as well in snow and heavy rain. Most people buying the AWD will be more concerned about handling in difficult weather.

Yikes, I have a hard enough time keeping my black GS clean here in So. California. Can't imagine what a pain it must be for you!

Anyhow, congratulations...your IS looks great

if you go there ask for jessica gorman she was my saleswoman and she was really good.. tell her i told you to go to her lol..my name is cathy..anyway i leased my 250 awd with navi and preferred accessory package for 42 months 12,000 miles a year...i traded in my camry..which they gave me $4000 for. i used $3400 from what i got to pay for the taxes..and the other $600 went towards cap cost reduction. the msrp on my car was $38,119 before any discounts and she got me into my car for $479/mo. Massapequa wanted $530 and rockville centre wanted the same. when i made a stink with them they told me the best they could do was $499 a month and i wouldnt find a better deal ANYWHERE...well rallye beat their best deal right off the bat with $491 a month..then jessica gorman spoke to the financial guy and he came over with a price of $479 which was perfect for me..rallye is a really nice dealership and the service center is in the same building..and everyone in the service dept is awesome too

krs71

thank you for the information...........I'll have to see if I can get an ML system with it some how......did you get HID's and AFS the lux package?

i wanted to get luxury package but they told me i would probably have to wait around 3 months to get that and navi in the awd so i have no hids/afs...i really wanted everything that was in the luxury package but there was no way i could wait 3 months to get this car

Just curious as to how dark your tint is? In Texas, the darkest I can get is 30% on all of the side windows and 5% on the back. Still trying to decide what percentage to get on the back!

Payam

I just had mine tinted today, 5% on all the windows and doing the whole windshield next week at 30%. I'm used to having dark tint on my car, but once you get used to it, it's not so bad.

krs71

Did you drive any of there demo's? did they have the lux package and ml with nav in it?
