Low J:

I remember you from the my350Z.com...you just bought your A4 when I got my IS350. My screen name on that forum was TheSunTheSea. I used to have a 2004 350Z but traded it in for my IS350.

I didn't realize you ended up getting a Lexus as well. Congrats man!

How much did dealer come off MSRP? Which dealer did you use?

It seems like the Charlotte dealer is still not ready to deal much. Probably since there is only one in Charlotte so they think they dont have to be competative. I might have to special order anyway to get nav and possibly sport or one of the luxury packages. There are some dealers down in Florida that are dealing about $2500 or more of MSRP but then you have to ship it home or pay for a plane ticket down there.
I used Leith Lexus of Durham. I ended up getting something like $1500 or so off the sticker. Lexus was having that "December to Remember" sales event in December so they were probably getting kickbacks from the factory. I'd be curious to see of that dealer in FL is still giving $2500 off MSRP.....that's be worth the flight to get one.......you'd still be saving at least $2K to do it no matter WHERE you're flying from

Yeah, being 6'7" I just got tired of being scrunched up in the Z. I love my Z to death and I'd never get rid of it if I just fit better in it. Once we got the A4 and I realized I could still have sport and have some room to move and some luxury I was sold.

How are you liking the A4? Is the IS noticably faster? I almost got an Audi but was scared by: 1) iffy reliability reputation, and 2) the front grill!!!

Beautiful IS250. White is hot. Your other rides are quite nice, too!
