First off I wanted to thank fotodad and jp82729 for all the pics, and help.... It dramatically helped my decision of choosing the SLE over the SE Sport, and also the navigation unit instead of the standard premium sound system.

I pick up the car on Thurs or Friday, as it is a 2 1/2 hour drive to lancaster PA from Jersey, but they were the only ones willing to discount the car.

Not only did they discount the car, but I only paid $600.00 over invoice... I ROCK... hehe.

So some quick stats.

SLE V6... loaded w/nav, and whatever other goodies are included. Silver, with black leather interior.

Once I get the car, I will post plenty of feedback, and so many pics you won't know what to do with! Will also report back on any luck I will have swapping the woodgrain with carbon fiber(although I will be honest, I am totally falling for the rich wood look, I feel like I am in a lexus) Also, I will post feedback on the stereo upgrade... if possible... I need to bypass the Navigation unit, and just use the NAV for Navigation, and find some way to install a shiny headunit and some amps... but that will all come in time as it will require some extra cash, and I am pretty much tapped.

Well thanks again to everyone that made suggestions, and I look forward to picking up my car on friday... they had to have it transferred, those nav units are hard to find now.

Weezer,

Congratulations! And you are quite welcome for the help.

You made the right decision buying the SLE over the SE Sport. I'm beginning to wish I had purchased the navigation option like you. Putting that aside, I am quite pleased with my 04 SLE.

Only $600.00 over invoice! Nice job! I'm also feeling more comfortable with the wood-grain trim. I think I'll keep it. It may say Toyota on the outside of the car, but it's all Lexus on the inside!

I like the idea of satellite radio, but I think my next improvement will be in the suspension.

Can't wait to see the pictures!

Well thanks to the bad weather, they were unable to transport my car from western PA to Lancaster on Thursday or friday. This stinks!!! I have to wait until Wed or Friday to pick up my car now, unless there are some other delays!!!

I of course don't mind driving my Corolla S until I get the Solara, but I am just so worried someone will rear end me or something will happen. I am just getting to excited, haha. Plus I want to be the first kid on the block with the solara.

Waiting patiently... yeah right! :roll:
