Default Well I finally got around to buying an every day car...

I have been test driving/researching at different dealerships...Audi, BMW, Infinity, Lexus, Mercedes, and finally made my decision. I really liked the Audi A6 4.2, the BMW 540i and the Infinity G35 but I ended up getting a Lexus. A 2004 silver w/grey leather GS430 with navigation, mark levison audio, wood trim/steering wheel/shift ****, spoiler (looks good...dont hate) and the 17" rims. Although some of the other cars I looked at were more sporty, I really like the look and feel of the GS430. I was able to test drive a 2003 GS430 (silver/black) they had at the lot but payed for the first 2004 GS430 they are receiving (Only $411 more actually and I get the wood steering wheel/shift ****! The '03s did not have this option). It hits the port Sept. 16 and will reach my dealership the 26th. I am really excited for the delivery and will take tons of pictures upon arrival. The car is getting 3M rock chip protection on the front bumper, headlights and mirrors as well as the same material along the edge of the door to prevent dings if people open it into something. I also really like the look of the Purple/Blue HID with the yellow fogs...looks great.

What's wrong with driving your A4 every day?

Why should we care that you bought a rice-burner?

Default just letting people know...you don't have to care.

why should people care about half of the stuff posted here moron? Secondly, have you driven or even sat in a new GS430? They are very nice cars.

Default I'd much rather be in a GS430 than my A4!

Too bad it's $30k more! (Canadia doll hairs)
