LOL!! Hateful….just hateful.
Speaking of which, a different sales rep from Pembroke contacted me about the USB/Circuit still on their lot. She offered $8K off the market adjustment. Told her she went into the wrong direction and reminded her that I didn’t accept the $5K market adjustment and countered with $2K again.
Said she couldn’t do it and I said let me know when you can, I’ll drive down to pick it up. 😎
Will follow up with my main guy tomorrow to see if there’s any news.

^^ Thanks 
Yeah, I was happy to see it in person which really made a difference. I realize that compared to my 2021, the differences are subtle and maybe hard to justify jumping from one to the other. That being said, I always like owning something somewhat unique and where I reside, Lexus products are rare to begin with and this 500 will be even more exclusive which is something I like (hence why I struggled on whether I should get a LE or not). I love the frontal view with the exclusive hood, love the stacked quad tips and even the Enkei wheels look far better in person that I had expected. Don't get me wrong, I still prefer the OEM wheels on my 350 (Canadian version) however, at this point, not enough to justify buying a set to replace the Enkei, at least not for now anyway as this car looks amazing as it stands.
I was really worried about getting out of a lease only 10 months into it and how much the new one would set me back but let's just say that I would have been dumb not to get this one. Now for the donuts in the snow, this puppy will never see snow nor any wet road surfaces as you know I am OCD with my cars. Let's just say there is a plan to get this bad boy safely to destination and will wait patiently until it can make an appearance on our streets - They also need to stat fixing some of our pot holes and this winter season was pretty bad on our streets. Patience is not always my virtue but with April just around the corner, it will be worth the wait

Can we get it sponsored by Lexus and have free food and Lexus merch?
