I got the exact same car as you just different color. I paid $32,700 OTD ($1k below invoice) for my 07 IS250. That was back in 12/06 when I bought my car.
I had one of the best deals at that time since I had an 07 in 06.

Thanks for the warm welcome. I will try my best to keep it shiny but I could see little swirl marks already. I guess it's to be expected from a black car. Any suggestions in keeping a black car and cashmere interior clean, other than the replacing the mats?

As everyone said, congrats and welcome. That color comb. was my firtst choice (until I saw the chas. floor) the chas. makes the interior pop. Well I decided on blk/blk since I know how bad I am on keeping the floor clean.
. Oh ya p-aple is right make sure to tell the dealers NO WASH!!! and make a point of it. I did that for my 5K service and guess what they still washed it... now a have major swirls. But they're going to do a full deatail next time I bring it in (brake TSB). Last thing get a PC for diy detailing.

Welcome to Club Lexus!
I can just see it now....
First you'll get the:
All Weather Floor Mats
Rvinyl Redouts
Tint
GFX Front Spoiler
OEM Trunk Spoiler
Once you get those you'll be contemplating whether to get the:
Illuminated Scuff Plates
Aluminum Sport Pedal Set
Interior LED Swap
Exterior Light Swap
Then you'll be wanting to do something more drastic:
Lowering Springs
19" Rims
Intake
Exhaust
Then you'll start to:
Think about trading up to a IS350.
Wish you got navi.
Wish you got Mark Levinson system.
Want the luxury package.
At the same time:
Get pissed at the dealership for ruining your paint after the wash it.
Invest in a complete car care system.
Check this forum everyday.

Longo really goes a long way to satisfy their customers. I called them up and said there's a few swirl marks on the car and they said bring it in but since it's a long drive, they told me to get a qoute from a local detailing shop and see how much it is to get it detailed there. They will cover up to $75 of the cost. Sounds reasonable enough.
Does anybody know how much does typical car detailing cost? Any help is appreciated.
