I bought a TSX (this is the last one!)

[ashley]

So of course like a month ago when I started looking for a car there were a ton of 6sp TL's and TSX's now I cant find hardly any in black or even white (ehhh???) with black interior  

[CrackerTeg]

Should've bought one a month ago.


I keed I keed!

[ashley]

Ya I know. Its only cause I need to get one soon I can't find one. That's just me luck though.

Thing is Ash, when you really aren't looking all that hard, it'll fall in your lap. Kinda happened to me when I bought my CM. I was actually in the market for an 08 Fit at the time. Who knew?

Ya I know. I didnt  plan on buying the TL I just bought go figure! All i wanted to do was go look at it and drive it to make sure it was really the kindof car i wanted to be looking for. Same thing happend when I got my accord too I went in to see about leasing a civic cause I was getting sick of not being able to find a prelude that I liked and I had already sold my mustang like a month earlier. Needless to say I'm really happy i got the accord but it's weird how things happen for sure!

+1 I had no intentions of buying my 7th gen. I was actually at the dealer to test drive a 335i, and drove the accord and fell in love with it.

So I got the mail today and there is a payment for the TL.... Does anyone else find this odd seeing that the loan was cancelled and i have it in writing.  It just keeps getting better!! to bad the financing guy at the dealer is gone for the night so I have to wait till tomorrow to ream his ass out, this has just been a car deal from hell!!

[Mike]

It may not be abnormal, they very well could have mailed it out the first day.

[Blackhawk]

Looks like you're approved!

[rocketstarter]

Damn Ash. This shit makes my blood boil. Same thing happened to me when I bought my Accord, they repainted my fenders and doors after I bought the car and it came out looking like a 5 year old did it in a sandbox. Twice. Needless to say the 3rd time I went back I tore their front door off the hinges and pushed the managers laptop of his fucking desk. Felt good.

From past experience I decided that the next time I'll be buying a car I'll drive 500+ miles IF it's exactly what I fucking want.

Good luck on the hunt though, good things never come easy! If you find one in the ATL area lemme know and I'll take some high resolution pictures for you! *pinches thumbs or wetf it's called* ^^

Go test drive an Lexus IS350 and get it. My dad was out test driving the new RX so I went to sit in one and it was AMAZING. I just sat there for literally 15 minutes. Good Luck finding another car though!

I had this car on a 24 month lease from mid 2006 to mid 2008, I returned the fuckin thing as fast as I could, it had all sorts of little shitty ass problems.   Lexus Reliability fuckin blows these days, I won't get into the issues, but DO NOT get the IS350 from the first year of production, HORRIBLE experience, my car spent 8 monthes in the shop with a variety of safety and braking issues.  

Ashley, good luck getting the TL, I know of a few being sold nearby for very very good deals from people who lost there jobs in finance and need to sell to pay rent. PM me specs your looking for if you'd like and I can send you the listings we have around here, they are everywhere for sale by me.  May be worth the savings to take the 5 hour trip to NY to get it.

Just one quick example, guy was selling an 06 with Nav and 31k miles on it for like 16,000 flat, great practially mint condition, still under warranty, clean title, etc.

Thats odd because since 1998 my dad has purchased 14 Brand New Lexus cars and SUVs. We have never had a single problem with any of them. We had a brand new SC 430 and had some problems with the tires but that has been it. We Currently have a 2008 LS460, 2009 RX 350, and 2000 RX300 and no problems.... must have been a lemon. We dont keep them long but the shortest we have had one was about 24 months, it was the RX400H. Didnt like the Hybrid aspect as much as we thought we would. Saying Lexus reliability sucks is an ignorant statement in my opinion, not trying to be a douche. I think I might know something about the quality of Lexus with the given credentials.

Back on Topic. Im sure I would feel the same way if I sat in a TL or TSX, but I havent. I love the way the new ones look except the TL, and the previous gen looks great. Good Luck!

I could see how it could be contrued that way, I was loyal to Toyota/Lexus, but every car I've owned from either company has been the same issues, poor brakes, CEL's for no reason at all, I had a Camry and Avalon, both of which had the brakes fail COMPLETLY, one resulted in a very bad accident, the other resulted in a freeway runoff (I filed a lawsuit against Toyota Motor Corporation based on injuries suffered in the accident, and based on the fact that they tried repairing the Camry on 23, yes 23 seperate occasions and never could, the avalon was in 10 times as well for the same issues which never got satisfactorily remedied.)  My IS 350 had chattery brakes to say the least, the ABS engaged with a mind of its own, and one of the seatbelt tensioners failed in mine, I probably had a Lemon in the IS350, but the damn car had multiple CEL's, the safety issues, and was not on par with a car that I expected for the nearly 40,000 pricing.  In comparison the Accord has had some very minor BS with twice the mileage.  Just needed to clarify it for you because I don't need you thinking I am lumping the company for some stupid reason, Multiple bad/life endangering situations or experiences will drive anyone away from any company.  Also the Camry, Avalon and IS350 remained mechanically stock, so modifications had zero to do with it.  

Anyways off the issue of the 350, The 3rd Gen TL's and 1st Gen TSX's are both gorgeous vehicles, and I'd love either one, I'm looking into a TSX to be my daily, we will see.

well I'm not sure if you guys have read the other threads but I have found a 06 TSX. its black with black interior and 6sp
The bad part is that I got a speeding ticket in it today... the spedo really throws you off from being in a accord because 0 starts really low so when your going like 80  you think your going oh like 55... so needless to say the popo got me going 84 in 65 with flippen dealer plates cause I was on my way home from work then up to the dealer to see what they figured out with the loan.  Which isn't even done, so they told me to just keep the TSX and they will call me,  I've never been to a dealer that is just like take the car and we'll call you this week but it works for me nothing like a extra long test drive!
