It took us a few months to get over the insulting experience we had at the local Lexus dealership. I tested the waters by visiting other car makers. Test drove the likes of Infiniti, Volvo, and Mini. I stared long and hard at BMW's and Acura's. I even took a peek at Honda. But nothing made my heart skip a beat like the Lexus. *sigh*
Recent events rekindled my desire and determination to get the Lexus. And when I say rekindled, I really mean it. I love this car. (Not as much as Manda and Ellen DeGeneres, but close)
This experience was much better and I actually ended up with my favorite salesman of all time: Jim. I thought finding a car salesmen that didn't make my skin crawl would be impossible. Turns out it wasn't. I just had to look in the right place.
Jim made the transaction as painless as possible for Manda and I. Well, really it was painless for me. Manda was bored out of her mind during the one hour orientation we had inside the car. But she toughed it out for me. :o)
So, I am now the proud owner of a 2008 Lexus IS250. It is dark grey (Lexus calls it "smokey granite"). Since I don't have any pictures yet, here is a link to Lexus's website that represents what I'm driving around now.
Okay. I'm going to go drive around the block a hundred times just because I can.
Peace Out.
