Smile Brand new 2007 IS250 Black/Black Premium - South FLA

2007 IS250 Black/Black Premium - South FLA

1. Model 250
2. RWD
3. BLACK
4. 18 inch wheels
5. no spoiler
6. BLACK
7. Premium Package
8. Boca Raton, Florida USA

My new Car was delivered to my house yesterday afternoon. I have had a smile on my face ever since it arrived! I drove a 2003 GS300 prior to this...it was taken away on the flatbed when my IS was delivered and If I was going to replace that bad *** car with anything else on the road right now I feel I have made the right decision, no regrets! The GS had some great MODS including HKS exhaust which I definatly will miss that sound but the IS is unreal and Im having alot of fun with it!

Leasing the IS250 w/ premium package for 42 months, 15,000 miles, nothing down, payments are $468 including tax. Shopped around for awhile...was finally able to get a deal at $450 a month but did not qualify for tier 1 credit so my payments were alittle more...no big deal though...its well worth it!

Would appreciate any comments and also your insight on the areas of tinting, how to add xm radio to the car by using the sharkfin antenna, any other mods.

Thanks Seize, I was actually a member prior under the name JunitLex01. I had an 03 GS300 which I turned in when I recieved my new IS. They are both leases.

sinister2c, congrads! I got a great deal on mine also, its not the best time for leasing, but I worked on the numbers for awhile. Mine was delivered from Kendall. Are you keeping the dealer licence plate frame or buying a new one?

Thanks Philip, worked hard on getting that deal. Told them I had other cars in mind and had offers on...but in reality the IS was the only car on the road that I really wanted!

Default "Nothing Down"

Now THAT'S the way to do a lease. Nice work.

Thanks Solomoan. I am an aggresive driver and shopper! I never would recommend putting money down on a lease besides your first month payment and any upfront fees. If someones credit is not perfect and they are "Working" on building/improving their credit then I would say put 1,000-1,500 down on the car to lower your monthly payments and then help you build credit for next time around.

Excellent deal on a great car.

Thanks Pinoy. I wasn't out to trick the dealers, but I was not going to get riped off...If the deal goes through and even if you think you have the best deal on the planet ie: all fees are waved, your under invoice, etc. They still get money from the manufactuer, etc. that pays well!

Yea thats what I told the sales guy when he said he wasn't making money off me since i was coming in at 800 below his invoice. I had to point out that he still makes money from lexus for moving vehicles and that 599 dealer fee.
