Hey guys and gals. I so stoked at getting this car. I was actually in the market for a Honda S2000. I seen this at the car lot and test drove it. After that I had to have it. Bought it on Wednesday for $27,300, with 31,000 miles. I think its the luxury package with the ML audio and 18" wheels. I'll post up pics later on today.

Excellent pick up. IS350 strikes a KILLER combination of luxury/comfort, performance, reliability. Had mine for a year and it still puts a smile on my face whenever I drive.

Hell, I was away from my IS350 for 2 weeks because someone had broken into my car and I had to get the window fixed + some body work done, and it was torture, let me tell you. Was getting withdrawal jitters.

Sorry no pics today. I drive about an 1 to to get my insurance for it today. It was raining and everything with bugs and *****. The insurance was about 107 a month for full coverage. I'm 25 with 1 ticket in the last 5 years.

Congrats on the new car...I came from an 05 S2k and although I miss the convertible, you can't beat the luxury and performance on the IS350.

dont worry about paying 107 a month with one ticket, i pay 3600 a year for full coverage, no tickets, no accidents, but i am about to turn 20 next month. thats about 400 a month paid over 9 months.

anyways, congrats on the car, and Welcome to CL

LMFAO, I remember those days of being young. Keep a clean record and your rates will drop by atleast 50% when you turn 24 or 25. I use to have to pay more then double my current rate on my IS350 to insure a 15 year old civic CRX.
