I finally got it! After 2 months of Internet shopping I've finally got a deal on a new 2003 IS300:
~ E-shift
~ All the luxury goods
~ Beautiful Charcoal Gray!!!
Sticker: $32,896
My price: $27,000
Yep, no kidding. Lexus of Beverly Hills is selling these at about $6,000 discount - they are loosing money upfront but I'm sure they are a volume dealer and get a fat rebate/bonus check at the end of the year: I'm a Featherlite dealer myself, so I know these tricks If you by any chance in a market for a new IS, be sure to ask for Fritz - super guy, no pressure, very understanding and courteous. I saw another thread where a guy bought the same car from Arizona, so this is no doubt the best place to shop...
I did have to drive to LA (420 miles for me each way), but local dealers won't even come close to this price, so go figure! In any case, I've had a great trip, except for my very first ticket - got pulled over for passing a semi in the third left lane on a four lane I-5. Beoatch!!! That clown even wrote on the ticket (although didn't give another citation) that I was driving 67m/h in a 55 m/h (truck with a trailer) and I was actually going 55m/h with a cruise control!!! Jackass... anyway, here are some pics:
