We get closer, and the keys not working. Well, he checks the VIN number and its the wrong one but according to his recent records, there shouldnt be another IS350 black/black on the lot. He goes in to see whats up and I just look around at the car and realize its a luxury package version, and I bought the Sport so its def not mine. Salesperson comes back out and tells me the situation. So basically, they delivered my IS by accident to some guy in Whitestone. But they were able to contact the guy and he hasn't touched the car since it was delivered. So now he's gonna bring it back to the dealer Monday morning and pick up his car thats sitting on the lot and once it gets in, I'll be able to go and pick up my car. Kinda ticked that I went there and wasn't able to pick up my car and on top of that, they put more miles on it. Ugh... 
Terrible, they better give me something to compensate for my time and for the messup.

don't take it (if you can).
you are spending 40k+ on this car, and if there's anything makes you unhappy about this car, don't settle for it.
But if you've already signed all the paper work and stuff, that's another story...

141 miles is not alot. Think about it, the car comes w/bumper to bumper warranty for a long time. How long do you keep your cars?? We have cars go outta here all the time w/over a hundred miles 2 and 3 times a day. I don't care if it's a Lexus, or a BMW or a chevy. EVERYONE makes mistakes. Not like they did it to you on purpose. And it's not a used car, they did the paperwork w/your VIN no on YOUR car. They still have a survey at stake so if you're not happy go to the GM or GSM and be NICE. More of a jerk you are, less forgiving they're gonna be. You own the car. Explain to them you're not happy but you would've liked to see something else. Ask for the spoiler or something reasonable. You could've chose not to take the car even though you had signed paperwork on it, you never took delivery. The Vin etching is Very inexpensive and so is the paint protectant. Dunno bout the ding thing. But do what makes you happy and forget about a measly 141 miles.. that's definitely worth the ding thing. I hate door dings!

The guy said that he had not driven it since it was delivered but there is 141 miles on it?
So now you wonder...did he go out and drive it more since now he knows it's not his?
I know how much you want the car but I think i would wait for a new one .
