Thanks everyone!

Caifan...I traded the 350 in for this IS-F. The IS-F was a fully loaded demo car with 9800 miles on it and since it was a demo car it sold to me as new with the warranty starting the day of my purchase which was a pleasant surprise. I really couldn't see paying full MSRP for a brand new IS-F so I kept pinging my Lexus sales buddy about finding a used one. Just my luck on 7/31 end of the month was the day I stopped by the dealership to pick up some maintenance items and they had this car on the showroom floor. My buddy talked with his manager and came out with a good trade in value for the IS350, a nice discount on the asking price, 3.9% financing and my payments didn't end up being that much more than for the IS350. I couldn't refuse the deal.

If anyone is interested in my old IS350 it's here at the local Chantilly, VA Lexus dealer.

That is a nice ride. I really appreciated the ISF more after seeing up close and driving them at the Lexus Performance Driving Academy. Nice!

Congrats! I'd be wary of a 9800 mile demo car... so many people romping on it, etc. but I guess the financial gains might ease some of those worries.

Yeah I'm not worried about it. I would have probably driven the car just as hard if not harder for the first few thousand miles.

wait, you are actually friends with one of those people that works at the "stealership" and you got a good deal, they must have made a mistake, did you get both pedals? better check..

P.S. I'm going to the 1/8 mile in manassas on Wed for a baseline before i install my noise maker

Emil, I was wondering when you'd post again. We should do a "twins" photoshoot sometime.

PS..Yeah even stealerships make mistakes once in awhile.
