Default I love taking my car into service.
I just purchased a 2001 Lexus GS430 on February 23rd, as seen here:
https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=341882

Today, I took it to Inskip Lexus up in RI for service. My car is due, so I got the 90K waterpump service. I decided I was going to drop some cash into this one and get everything up to specs. I did the TBelt/Wtrpump/tension, Transmission flush, coolant flush, new power steering fluid, differential fluid change, spark plugs and a couple other misc. things.

Anyway, They Gave me the attached picture for a loaner car. While I do like my GS430 better, I must say the is250 awd they gave me for a loaner is growing on me. They car handles pretty good and while it's not smoother shifting (it has 7500mi on it) than my GS430, it certainly is good in it's own little way. I wish I could afford a IS350 .

What have you guys got for loaner cars when going to the dealer?

Depends on the dealer... I usually get an ES350 if I get their early enough, if not, i'm stuck with a Camery.

ES350 for me. Do you think if I got a 350 with the GFX kit like the OP and switched out the lip for a stock lip that they'd notice?
