Mine was that high . . . i dont even have ground effects or Gspyders either, but i have the Lux package. Hell if satellite radio was out, i wanted wheels, and the ground effects . . . that would have been mid to high 5x,000! Price can definately get up there . . .

You mean like breaking your side mirror against your garage door?

Perhaps you should have invested in it.

Sounds good. My salesperson was Steve Armstrong, who knew absolutely nothing about the car.

One thing though, they could have put the satellite antenna somewhere better, ...yuk!
I agree! I was kind of hoping for the shark fin.

Did they give you a decent discount for all of those goodies? I hope you got at least $3-4k off MSRP.
Yeah it wasn't too bad, I got about $3000 off of MSRP total.

Well it can come in handy if u are parking in a tight garage and there could be something in front of the car and the parking asist can come in handy at that moment. But it all depends on personal options and opinions. You never know some people just cant park. But im sorry i dont even have a IS yet ( Special Order Pending ) but i do have parking asist in the Mercedes s500 and it comes in handy every now and then.

Belmont CONGRATULATIONS on the new car. It looks awesome. I bet the waiting sucked but i am still in ur old shoes. I am waiting very patiently (lieing) but the sales person said it should be here in 2 weeks. I hope he is right and does not screw me up.

man... for 51,000 bucks... i'd go back to the dealer you got it at and have them move that satellite radio antennae!!!!! it looks DISGUSTING on your trunk like that. And if someone else put it on there... you need to get it fixed.... a car that fully loaded shouldnt look like you got the satellite radio at WalMart or something.

Any suggestions?

I can't say that I've ever seen an attractive satellite antenna. I'd personally rather have it there than on my roof.

That's the antenna we're mocking.

Why don't you have them move the antenna to inside the car? That's what everyone else is doing.
