So long... but I'll be next door!
Well, sad to say that yesterday I traded in my '03 Silver/Saddle SC430. I had an '04 G35 Coupe under deposit and the Infiniti dealer called to say a deal fell through and I should come by. But... before heading to the Infiniti dealership I decided to stop by the Lexus lot one last time.
Believe it or not, I ended up trading for a gorgeous '03 GS300 Sportdesign. It has Nav/Lev, and a Black and Saddle interior, so it feels like a really stretched version of my old car! The Sportdesign also has Euro-tuned suspension and steering, so it is tight. That was my only beef with my '01 GS300. I was looking for something a little more practical that handled a little better than the SC, and this car is perfect.
The dealer offered me $4,000 more than Infiniti was willing to give me on my SC, and he took $5,000 off sticker on the GS. (I know a new model is coming, but I love the old one.) He also offered to drive to my house to pick up the pie plates and runflats and he's giving me my O.Z. Operas and Michelin P/S's back! When it came down to it, I just couldn't give up the luxury of the Lexus for the kick-*** performance of the Infiniti. Plus, I actually got much more car for less money.
So, I just wanted to say so long to a great bunch of SC430 owners. Thanks for the advice and comraderie over the past year, and be sure to hop over to the GS forum sometime!
