How much did you pay for your IS250?

That's exactly what I have. I'm pretty much living from paycheck to paycheck. I manage to pay all my bills (including my premium on insurance, with all my other bills, rent, etc.) with a little bit leftover. Man, I'm living on he edge. The new IS looks very nice and sporty. It was impulse that led me to the car. I figured for the next 6 years, I'll just keep making payments on it. The last 6 years went by pretty fast, hehe. Then I'll probably get another Lexus pending on how well the dealer treats me and service wise.

wow you are brave. I thought my payment of $322 was much. Coming from no car payment at all for 4 years.
What dealer did you get your car from?

Anyway, as to the original poster - I think you're going to be over your head again! You said you learned your lesson not to get up-side-down again? Obviously not. why in the world are you leasing a Lexus if you only have "$500 in the bank"??? You're going to find yourself in the exact same position you were in this time. Too late now... but my suggestion would have been to get a car that is more within your means - save up for 3 years - THEN get the Lexus.
Unfortunately, this is the mentality of too many people here in America - gotta have a flashy car and rack up huge debt even if we can't afford it!
No offence - but you're talking as though you are actually PROUD of living so close to the edge of a financial disaster???? Not smart IMHO.

Dang, you guys are making me nervous lol. I feel I'm all right, as long as I'm working. If not, uh-oh!!!
I'll definitely post some better picts, but these are night shots since I haven't thought taking pictures of my car just yet. It's kind of bad, but I'll get some better day shots in here tomorrow:
These lights were not on by the way:

Are you sure it isn't illegal to have the front plates removed? I was in LA one time and my friend didn't have front plates on her Honda Civic. Woo, she was mad for getting a ticket. I'll check out that regional forums. I haven't really browsed around this forum yet....

Man.....is it just me or is the OP just skating on the edge? If you can just barely afford the payment on a Lexus, I'll ask the obvious question. Why is this individual even considering a $30,000 automobile????? He should still be in a Corolla. Everybody can do their own thing, of course, but it doesn't always make a lot of sense. Ah, the power of advertising and 'image'. Oh well, we all make dubious decisions when we are young. Good luck.

You should see a guy I know, lol. He's only making $800 a month and he's financing a $320 Scion tC, hehe. Then again, he's living at home still . I'm all right. I'm not that tight on cash--just spend a lot. I just spent like $4,000 replacing carpet I ruined in the house. That set me back a lot. I'm just waiting to get paid again this upcoming Wednesday and I'm all right.
I just found out that meet is all the way in Buena Park. I'm over here in Chino Hills. It would probably be ok if it was on a Saturday or something but Sunday, I have quite a few things to do.
