Thumbs up New IS350 Owner - Thanks all for the advice

Been lurking about and posting a few questions where I could not find answers through searching and finally picked up an IS350 today.

Lightly used 2007 Smokey Granite Mica / black leather (7K miles)
- Premium Package
- Bi-xenon High-Intensity Discharge (HID) headlamps
- Adaptive Front Lighting System (AFS) ('steerable HIDs')
- Staggered wheels (18x8 / 18x8.5)
- Navigation
- Matts, locks, net, etc.
Pretty much the 'popular package', as it were.

Would have liked to have gotten a Luxury or Sport Pkg., but not much luck in that area.

I'd like to thank the folks that helped out on pricing and availability questions, as you were instramental in getting me to jump on this deal.

I'll be picking up a few accessories from Sewell on the current deal (Pedals, and illuminated sills to start). Anyone know if the lip spoiler is an easy install?

Thanks again, and I'll be seeing more of you.

Yep, it was already tinted (from the prior owner I would guess). It looks like 20%.

Since I would be getting it tinted, that saved a little bit of $$.

Congrats....

That's exactly what I'm looking for. If you dont mind me asking, what were the best quotes offered and from what dealership?

I know the Lexus of Las Vegas will not budge, in fact they rather lease then go below invoice. So right now I'm in touch with the Socal and Arizona dealerships.
