    my neighbours have a white CTS, its pretty hot, but they arent chinese lol.


    yeah, today i went and drove a used G35 for the hell of it and then went back to the lexus dealership to drive the IS again to compare, i was actually looking for the TSX but the acura dealership didnt have any in stock -noclue (just 2 extremely sexy TL type S's [which unfortunately, start at 49 thousand and are way out of my pricerange] ).

    the G35 was insanity on wheels... it was soooo fuken fast, honestly i felt like i had all the power in the world in that thing, it was 39 G for used with the M6 package and it was in silver, but i prefer white. It was definitely a blast to drive, but overall I felt the car was impractical for daily driving, especially in winter. The interior felt like a cave, it was hella dark and seemed designed to make u focus on the road, not so much the amenities of the vehicle. also I dont think i want to spend 39 grand on a used vehicle, no matter how awesome it is

    afterwards i went to drive the lexus again and this time, without my mom there, i bagged it hard, paddle downshifting in all the corners and flooring it out of the curves. it held up pretty well even under that kind of driving and i was extremely impressed. overall I think the vehicle itself is incredible, even without all the options, that in canada, we have to pay out the anus for.

    So today i placed my order for sure for an 08 White lexus IS with the basic leather package for 40 G. Im gonna have to wait 3 months for it, but its alright, leaves me some time to make more money and anticipate its arrival

    congratz on the order. how much did u have to put down???
    like i said b4, be unique, be ur own.
    whats the difference on the 07 and the 08?

    no difference in standard features... the 08 costs 5 dollars more.

    its just the order, i only needed to put 1000 down to get it here.

    when we buy i will transfer all my money to my mom and she will just write a cheque

    did u already sign the contract for buying the car?
    i don't know about canada but over here in the US money talks (cash in hand).
    i remember when buying my motorcycle, i went in with 9 grand in hand and i got a dam good deal for my bike. sticker was at 8500 and i got it for 8200 out the door. funny thing was that i only had about 2 grand in 100s and the rest were 20s. took them a while to count all that.
    if u guys haven't already agreed on a price yet, just slam down that 40 grand on the table and demand ur price. tell them that u'll get paid rite here and now.
     
  5. yea viet man with cts.. and yea its a hell on wheels too... did you ever try driving it? maybe your neighbors would let you drive it -evil...

    I see you guys are upgrading to MB and Lexus now, staying away from the tuner cars?
     
  13. fearless_fx

    as far as i see it, most tuner cars are a waste of money, unless its a Skyline, Supra, Silvia, EVO or WRX.

    things like 1990's civics, or del sols or integras are vehicles that arent worth modifying. In many cases you can end up with a fairly nice looking vehicle after the application of subtle body kits and minor aerodynamic modifications, but in the end, its still a civic (or whatever).

    The only time i would think about buying an old honda or acura and modifying it, would be if i was focusing only on power, ie. supercharging/turbocharging a B16 engine and aiming for like 400-500 HP to blow away other cars on the straightaways, which might be sometihng to do in the future when i have extra cash lying around.


    Im buying a lexus cuz it has a respectable look and package right out of the factory. And its not like the IS250 isn't a tuner car, iv seen many of them slammed and decked out with 19" deep dish rims, which is what i plan on doing; and sporting cold air intakes, exhausts and CF parts just like other tuner vehicles.

    i wouldn't mind caring around 40g's in my pocket. just have sum friends around u when u do.
    most i had in my pocket was 10 g's when i went to buy my bike.

    cls 55 r nice. i don't really like it though. it looks more of a chop top.
    if i really had the money i would go with a sl 55 and maybe a... what was it a clk 63? i thnk its that one. the black series though.

    the is250 was actually my second choice. after test driving it after i bought my car, the IS wasn't to my liking. the seat is way too soft for me. if i ever take it on a long cruise, i might fall asleep. steering is way too soft. i think the sports package only came on the is350. other than those two things, the car is fine. i do like the paddle shifting though. with my c-class had that.
