Well, after 4 very long months, my special order IS350 has arrived. I ordered the car with every option, bringing MSRP to about $51,000. I'm so glad I waited, because this car is awesome.

I guess i'm biased now. My friend LDYNRED's car is lowered on Eibachs now. It's a huge difference from this:
5/6/06 - Torrance, CA @ Lexus Headquarters
to this one month later:
6/22/06 BOS NorCal - Mt. View, CA:

I didn't.
The MSRP on the sticker that I received from the factory was 51k.
If you add in everything, you'll see that's just what they cost. I didn't pay MSRP, however, but that's what it was.

wow, you really did get fully loaded. I didn't know you could add park assist to a Sport package.
One thing though, they could have put the satellite antenna somewhere better, ...yuk!

One of very few IS350s with the precollision system and radar controlled cruise. I felt completely insane getting the price tag up to $45k...you must have a strong stomach. 
Did they give you a decent discount for all of those goodies? I hope you got at least $3-4k off MSRP.

Belmont, congrats on the car. It definitely does pay to be patient. Slightly lower would look just awesome...and maybe a little tint on the windows...and maybe a CL sticker or two... and maybe...
Do you see where this is going?
