Default Sad to see her go....

I just traded my '08 MMR IS-F on a new '13 GS-350 AWD and it was quite emotional for my family and me to say goodbye to her. I've learned quite a bit from you guys over the years and thank you for that. It's quite amazing to see how much technology has advanced over the 5 or so years since the '08 was released with respect to the electronics package! My iPod is now fully integrated without having to mess with after-market adapters, the NAV package is much enhanced, etc. Thanks again! (PS. I think I got a pretty good deal on the trade ($38k) from my dealer but I could be wrong.)

I like the new GS. I just hope they bring out an M5 beater now! I'm sure you'll love it mate!

I know what you mean! I sold my 08 ISF due to me going to ASTAN in June. I tell my GF how I miss the car and she was like I know! LOL

Driving her Accord and my old IS300 doesn't feel the same or excitement but it does help my wallet. Goodluck with the new car!

Sound like you did great on the trade. My wife has warned me that her ISF will not be sold regardless of what other vehicle we get. It is true love.

Glad to hear you enjoyed your F. Enjoy the new GS! It does ride nicely, especially the AWD. You made out with a great trade offer.

Thanks everyone. I am not sure why the trade was that good but maybe because I've purchased four cars in the past and let myself get "hosed" on several of them. Or maybe the gently used (16,000 miles) condition had something to do with it. In any event, I am completely satisfied with the dealer and the sales person I dealt with.

I almost purchased the GS350 AWD on last week, before I sign the contract, I went to test driving the car. The car handling is really really really suck. Also the car is really really slow, noise is so big compare to the luxury sedan, lucky I didn't sign the contract and finally back home
