Congratulations, and you won't regret it. It is a great car. The black is a little harder to keep clean, but it sure hard to beat black. If it makes you feel better, it isn't as easy as I had hoped to keep my Smoky Granite Mica IS-F. My wife's dark gray MDX seems to hide dirt better than my IS-F

I got the Clear Bra on my bumper and I'm quite happy with it. There are a few tiny areas with small bubbles, but they aren't noticeable unless you are looking for them. This was the same on my 04 TL too.

Some good buy stories here...love it, lowrider...and OP, don't worry one bit. I did not want to buy now...I kept telling myself, you have a perfectly fine car, you don't need this vehicle, economy is in the dumps, conserve ALL your cash, think about refinancing your house, etc. etc. etc.

Well, once I drove the car, it was about 80% over right then. I pulled a purchase forward to December because I got a good deal on the price and the financing was awesome....

prices may keep going down, who knows...I am guessing that Lexus will severly cut production of these cars in '09 and try to keep the prices a bit closer to msrp....it's good for the brand and good for resale to not discount too much, even though we all like big bucks off.....I was orig . in the market for a '09 G37 sedan, Audi A4, or TL until I actually saw a TL...for a few thou more, I have a truly awesome car.

I had an 04 TL and loved it. I was waiting for the 09s to come out and figured I would get an 09 or 10 to replace my 04. Then I saw it. Needless to say I decided it wasn't for me. It's a real shame that the car is so ugly, because otherwise it had everything I wanted improved from my 04.

I guess in the end it all worked out because I got an IS-F instead
