BruceLee,
The local Lexus dealer has actually run us off. I have had nothing but good times (much better than other people here) at the Porsche dealer(same big company owns both). My Lexus(s) ownership was great and we are still fans, but our dealer has to go. They tried to make me pay for towing and a $700 service on our new GS400 with 7k miles back in 2000, because I had Mobil 1 in it and a Mobil 1 oil filter. He said "If you do not let us change the oil then we do not warranty the car". That lasted about 30seconds and then he regretted ever saying it. I chewed his a$$ out even though I won because if it had been my mom or mom in law instead of me they would have stolen their money. I ordered all my Lexus stuff from Carson in CA from then on and never gave that dealer a dime.

Living in CA you might not know what it is like to only have 1 Lexus, 1 BMW and 1 porsche dealer in your area. It stinks.

As soon as this baby is out of the stroller I am sure my wife will want a GS450(the new 07 ones). The GS's are nice cars.
