Default Have a deposit on a 'new' '10 IS350

Put down a deposit on a new '10 silver/black IS350.
Car is at Herb Chambers in MA.
I was there with my son in law bought a used '10 LX570 from them a couple of weeks ago.Called on a IS350 and they had the new '10.Nice dealership.
It's going to take about 10 days to get the car as it's in MA and I'm in Jersey.FedEx paperwork back and forth and MA doesn't have a 30 day tag.So I have to wait at least 5 business days for the dealer to get my plates and registration from NJ.
I had a '06 IS250AWD for a couple of years and posted here.
It's going to be nice to be back.


First mods.
A Tanabe Medallion exhaust like I had in the IS250 and some LEDs.

I don't know but a local dealer TriCounty Lexus in Little Falls,NJ has a new '10 and wanted over $2K more.
The IS350 is in Herb Chamber's' showroom right now.
The car has 95 miles on it.

I got the IS for $2K less than my local dealer out of state at Chambers.
That's why I went out of state with a bit more hassle with Fedex back and forth paperwork and longer delivery time.
I'm not in a rush anyway.

The IS250awd is a great car but I like more power.
I'm fortunate I don't have to use the car in bad weather now like when I owned the IS250..

oh okay. I just put a deposit on my car also. Well it's used IS250 AWD. I bought it out of state also since I wanted to find a car with options I wanted with the right color and I am definitely not in a hurry either.

It's a bit of a pain in the **** buying out of state but for the right color,options and in my case cost,it's definitely worth it.
Congrats on your purchase.

Sorry for not being clearer but I did sell the '06 250 I had a few years ago.
