Default Just ordered my 250 RWD for under MSRP!

Hey everyone,

I just got a pretty sweet deal on a special order 250 RWD! It's Obsidian on Black, with Luxury/ 18's Pkg and Nav for $37 + TTL. I went though Johnson Lexus in Raleigh and they were extremely helpful and already had a discount in place before I gave them an offer which really suprised me. I gave them $1000 over the phone which is refundable. Now I just have to sweat out the wait!

Another suprising thing is they actually ordered some 250 RWD with the luxury pkg already. Not my color combo, but they said alot of people were asking about it and wantedthe extra goodies. This is one dealer who listens to their customers. Great job! If anyone wants to know who I dealt with let me know.

Congrats on your order
Just curious, why no ML?
The Lux option indicates your not pinching pennies.

Thanks! To answer your question, I really wouldn't use the dvd player that much and the stock sound system is good enough for me. That extra $1440 just wasn't worth it to get the nav/ml setup for me.

I would definately suggest a hard look at ML. You dont have to get the $1440 version, just order the $940 version, and not play DVDs.

Congrats on your order. I dont think the extra $14xx is worth it either, I rather invest that money to improve the performance of the car (Eibach Pro kit, K&N filter & Typhoon Kit and Tanabe exhaust).

Congratualtions! I also ordered mine as is in my signature. The PAINFULL part is going to be the 4 month wait! Unbearable!

Wait 4 months for a 250?? How come? If it's because you aren't getting the ML for $940 that's silly. Throw in ML and get your car immediately...
