Foques, that IS a pretty nice car. Beautiful. Why is it a POS? Can you have two cars?

Nothing wrong with it anymore.. i'd dumped enough money into it to get it running right.

But Nissan left bad enough taste in my mouth with their scamming sales people and shady customer service. I really can not wait to get myself into something that is more.. uh.. reliable and built by one of the few companies I respect on the automotive market - Toyota.

besides that, i'm tired of not having enough cargo space (photo gear is problematic to transport).. and you can't go shopping driving this car..

Micaiah, if I could, I would.. i'm not that big yet. thank you for the compliment

It seems that a lot of the people here are very happy with the reliability of Lexus and it's supreme customer service, even AFTER you hand over the money!

It's a pretty car but if it's costing you more in the long run then you have made the right decision, although there is not much room for stuff in the trunk of the IS mainly because the rear seats don't fold down. But performance and dependability make up for it in a snap.

Good luck on your shopping endeavors and hoping to see a pic of your new Lexus right here in this very thread!

My Camber is way off and I was told that the tow can be adjusted as well as the camber in the front but not the rear. Not to mention, I'm not completely happy with how the car is sitting. It doesn't look right to me.

Wish I could tell you. I told the guy I ordered them from that I wanted a nice offset but it had to be equal bc it's AWD and this is what I got. Oh, I was in Afghanistan when it was done and he went out of business before I got back. Any tips?
