really... IS THAT what you think... I'd rather see a stock IS pic over a riced honda anyday... ALSO if you book mark the threads that you do post pics of your car, you'll have a online record of the 'start to ongoing' process so you'll never have to worry about a crashing hd.

if you guys are in the NYC area..go to Rallye in Glen Cove. I think they have a couple of is350 left. I'm not sure though. ask for Josh Weiss.. he's definitely a great salesman. check them out!

I have to agree, i was really surprise to find an 06 this late in the year. I though it was a trick to get me into the dealership but it ended to be an awesome deal!

hehe, your still new here, one reason we love ALL PICs, were not really looking at the car, some ppl look for monkeys in the trees, some look at the other cars on the street while i look for reflections of weirdos in the paint

One thing i have noticed thou, the pics from the cali boiz, when lived in LA i/everyone had iron gate fences, iron bars on the windows, razor wire on the top of the iron fence, the concrete block fences had glass shards lining the top along with more razor wire... These guys here have no fences, iron bars on windows... Olympic/Vermont, sure beats a poke in the eye with a sharp stick

Is there a story about why the dealer still had an unsold '06 on the lot? I could understand if it was that funky gold color that they used to offer, but smokey granite mica is one of the most popular colors; you'd have thought it would have flown off the lot.

the only reason i can think of is that is350s arent that popular here in the northeast. I've seen dozens of is250awds..and about 2 is350. its just not as popular. thats good for me!

There was another person here who also said he picked up 06 350 for about the same price and loaded with Nav/ML/Back up camera as well. And he also said it had like 5 miles on it. I don't know how people are finding them, it's a needle in the haystack and I'm surprised dealer even let them go for way below MSRP.

The red one.
Rallye Lexus is where Hung8852 bought his car.
Could that actually be his car or the smoke one?
Both are at Rallye Lexus.
It must be one of those two.
Otherwise Rallye Lexus had three new '06s.

Very Strange.

Hung8852,this sounds like your car.
Rallye Lexus is asking less than they gave you on the trade for your former 250.

What the hell is going on? Is the dealer really that desperate? I find it very odd about a brand new 350 with only 35 miles on it. I'd question that to the dealer.
