Moving over from an '06 IS350 - Need help with a special order

Here’s a list of the items that I’m interested in (in order of preference):
Deep Sea Mica
Black leather
Navigation
18” wheel upgrade
Rear lip spoiler
Heated and vented seats
Intuitive parking assist
Paint Protection Film
Heads up display
Rear-door manual sunshades
Remote engine start
I would prefer to have all these installed at the factory to prevent the dealer from laying a hand on it.
I saw a Blue Mica at a dealer, with 30 miles on it, covered in spider webbing. poor thing!
I'm okay with waiting the 8+ weeks to special order, but I've been getting mixed responses from various dealers/sales reps.
I understand that certain items on my list need other prerequisites; however, I'm hearing that big "package upgrades" are necessary to get everything I'm looking for.
If it's truly getting ordered from the factory, what's the most simple/least expensive way to get my dream GS?
Thanks!

Awesome, thanks!
So this is accurate enough to push back on a sales rep when he's telling me I need all the other stuff?
This gives me everything except the manual shades.
Also, does anyone have the remote start? Is there a new FOB? or just a combination on the standard one? I'm in Houston, so it will obviously be used for the COOLING feature

You don't want the Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS) ?
The Luxury Pkg is great!

The way u have it configured.. Its pretty much a base model with HUD. It might be better if u can find a car u like already built
They usually dont discount special order cars

Check if your dealer has a pre negotiated price with costco. Many in So Cal do. They can show you a prearranged price. My local dealership is $500 over invoice, doesnt matter if it's on the lot or a special order.

As i stated above, i would really like to order with all options installed at the factory.
I'm not exaggerating, the brand new GS i saw had spider webbing all over it. Someone must have dropped the towel on the floor and then went to town on the paint.
I will be requesting to leave the car wrapped in plastic. I want that "ooo ahhh" feeling when i remove it

Hey Just special ordered a car a few weeks ago, its your best bet if you want specific features HUD was a must for me. I dont think your going to get that big discount your hoping for on a special order, you would probably have to settle for something on the lot. It takes anywhere from 2 1/2 - mnths depending on how much volume your dealer does.
