Hello forum members, i purchased a new 07 Lexus IS350 last night from Nashville, TN. The drive was wonderful and the car itself is loads of fun and very comfortable to drive. Before I bought the car I did tons of research and I was really torn between the Lexus and BMW 3 Series. In the end I decided to stick with the Lexus because of reliability. Price was not a factor, i wanted a great car I would enjoy.

Here are the pictures.

The car is fully loaded and is equipped with the Lexus NAVI system. Couldn't be happier with this car. Very happy with my decision in sticking with Toyota/Lexus.

Thanks! it wasn't an easy choice to be honest... I really liked the Grey but my 05 Camry is already Grey so i figured why get two grey cars. The Silver was a great color so i went with it.

This is car #9 for me in the household.... wife said one has got to go so i'm thinking of getting rid of the 01 Audi A4. Here is my vehicle list:

99 Camry - Daughter (Away for college)
99 Sienna - Family Vehicle
02 Ranger - I use this for pretty much everything. Mostly for taking out the trash.
93 MR2 Turbo - First car I got coming out of Med School... never selling this. To much Money/Time invested.
01 Audi A4 - Nobody uses this car anymore so i'm pretty going to let it go.
06 Acura TSX - Wifes Car.
03 Acura MDX - My car for the snow... Snows some here in W. Kentucky so I need a way to get to the hospital in this situation.
05 Camry XLE - My Car (Possibly letting this go also)
07 Lexus IS350 - Keeper

Which would you let go?

Nice! How much did the dealer charge for the spoiler?

They charged me $360 for it. Bit steep for something you can barely notice.

Ya, but, as far as dealer price, that's not bad for an installed price. The CHEAPEST I've seen the OEM spoiler for online is just over $200 shipped. So they charged you roughly $150 for installation, which is fair for a dealer I guess.
