Smile This is the week!

This is my first post...picking up my '08 IS250 with x-package this week...black/black...6MT

The only thing slowing me down is the weather - we are supposed to get a bit more snow here in Cambridge, ON

I am thinking of waiting until April 1 to pick it up in case the lease progams change, but I don't know if I can wait knowing my car is ready to go.

Sorry for the nonsense - looking forward to being part of the club!

April 1st is only a week away, I would wait and see. APR's have reduced a bit and this may benefit your lease signing. Plus, let the dealer hang onto your car in the rough weather. This will reduce your risk of any potential driving hazards due to inclement weather. You will have plenty of time to enjoy the car this summer and then obtain some winter tires in the fall.

I'd wait. I have an X-pac manual, and it sucks in the snow.

I do have alot of experience driving in the snow as well, and this car is terrible.

Thanks for the support! I'll get some pics up here when I get the car and figure out how to do it - the weather reports keep changing, and I was back at the dealer today and saw my car after tint...I'll try to wait, but no promises
