I bought my IS350 from JM about a year ago - very happy with the experience, no BS and no bad attitude.
I worked with Shannon, got a good deal on my base IS350 with 18" wheels.
Can't wait to see the photos of your 2008, hope they added some nice new options.

Once the 08 comes, I'll post in the appropriate thread a few pics of me with my IS.

In the past I stopped by several times, asked for Shannon, was told she wasn't there, and was handed off to some clueless (non)sales person both of whom proceeded to just waste my time. It's great to know JM's latest internet saleswoman knows her stuff.
DropTopGal and Joe V have been very helpful

I definitely agree about the internet salespeople.
For example:
When I went to go close on my IS350 and pick it up I got a ride from some friends to come down from Melbourne, I was in khaki cargo shorts and a t-shirt.
Did any of the regular sales people say a word to me? Nope. In fact I'd say they actively ignored me.
I spoke with someone inside and they called Shannon. She was very nice and friendly and we then went and saw the car (still plastic wrapped =) ), she had it prepped and we took it for a test drive and I bought it ASAP.
You should've seen some of the other salespeople faces drop when I bought the car on the spot and drove off. Its almost a test for me, if your judging on appearance your not going to get my business.

I always buy cars in faded Levi's and a t-shirt. Always. It gets rid of the amateurs very quickly.

No local dealership there in your area? I doubt JM Lexus would ship a car, but they would gladly sell you one at a fair price. Simply call them and find out. Open transport runs about $800, closed about $1,200. Then again, a flight to Fort Lauderdale and a drive back to NC would be fun. No matter where you buy, faded jeans and a t-shirt is a must! LOL

No problems at all...when as smooth as a new born babies rear end.

30 day temp registration, shipped on dealers flat bed from Mobile to Ft. Lauderdale, and picked up my trade in for the return....all for $500 extra.
Then register in FL, and pay the sales tax, title and licence fees here.
I saved about $7,000 from what the local (less than champion) Porsche dealer was trying to rob me of.

I am planning on having JM Lexus ship the car to me. They told me they have a number of transportation services they use and I could pick whichever one I wanted. I was also told the price would be in the hundreds to around a $1000 to ship the car. Some may question this additional expense, but compared to dealing with the dealers around here versus getting what I want from JM without much hassle it'll definitely be worth the time savings for me. I wish I called them from the beginning instead of wasting my time on the dealers around here that jerked me around for the first couple of months of my car search.
