Default Just Got My New 2011 Matador Red Mica IS350

Hey guys,

Just got home with my 2011 Matador Red Mica IS350 loaded except parking sensors and ML. Didn't go with the F-Sport cause I don't love those wheels and wanted something a little less flashy. My payment jumped a lot but I got it for $500 above invoice with basically nothing down and got to turn in my IS250, no nav, which I was almost triple the miles on, for virtually nothing. I feel like I lucked out and got a super low money factor. So far I've put like 15 miles on it and it was my first time driving a 350. Great power, much more than the 250 and so much more worth the money with the Nav, Bluetooth, etc. I'm paying more, but for what I was paying on my 250 with basically no options, I'm good with it. I'll post a pic now and then when I get some time take some better shots inside and out with my camera.

Congrats on the new ride, Ive always adored the Matador Red whenever I see them on the road, its very niice and rare color. What color interior did you get? for some reason i think the tan looks better than the black with the Matador Red.
