How could I have forgotten my IS!I wanted a MkIV but I felt (and my friends agreed) that it wasn't the right car for me and they couldn't see me in one. At the time my money was coming from a company I started that sold model masks based off of a sci-fi game. The margins were ridiculous but the market was limited. I had a choice to get a MkIV but I couldn't pull the trigger on buying one, I ended up getting the 4-door MkIV (an IS300) and was happy with it but it was way to slow and VIP culture went from a novel idea to ideals that reflected my lifestyle and the IS was not cut out for VIP and I realized that I could have more fun in a car creeping then one going a hundred miles per hour.
Then I was unsure if I wanted a LS430, LS400, or GS400/430... then I saw this picture:
That picture was stuck in my head for 3 days. My ex girlfriend needed help buying a car and I suggested the place where I had gotten my GS 2 and a half years ago. We went there and as I was looking around at what they had (they get all the lexus's that can't be CPO anymore) and I saw a Black on Grey LS400 and I looked at it and sure enough the windows really were that clear, and the interior was tan... 77,000 miles....
... could this be?? I went home and asked my dad if his friend would help get me a trade (he used to sell cars, hes a really cool guy) They wanted $4,300 and my IS (yea they were serious!) 2 days later I drove my IS there and drove the LS back I love my LS it exceeded all expecations I had and continues to suprize me with new cool functions! I think the 20/21 is the best LS they made, I feel like its the least know of the LS's but looks the best!
