Default 7 barebones 350's

Steven's Creek has about 7 bare 350's sitting in their lot (Tungsten, Blue Onyx, Matador Red). They are all Base + Premium Package ($38K). I'm certainly not recommedning Steven's Creek Lexus, just want to let you know in case you're looking for base, or want to check out a color.

I want a base...like seriously BASE IS350. The only option I might want is the 18" wheels.

It really amazes me that Lexus is putting out such stripped cars. They either must think the public doesn't want a fully loaded car or Lexus wants to make some money off these bareboned cars and when they make some type of profit they will start manufacturing the fully loaded ones.

I sure would like to know the reason for this.

No worries, the 18s are standard on the IS350

EDIT: 17s are standard...sorry

like i posted elswhere, the is350s coming to houston right now are all base models w/ only the 18's and preferred accessories. that's the closest to a stripped down is350 you can get anywhere at the moment. msrp $36,944.

That's what threw me off...I haven't heard of or seen any IS350s with 17s.

Good enough for me. I just dont want the wood interior that comes with the premium package and the sport package is not worth the price for me.

Hey Mr.Lex, this is off topic, but can you post some pix of the IS250 AWD's interior. My dealer has not told me what is included. I ordered a SGM and I'm not sure if it comes with the wood trim or not. I really don't want the wood but I think thats the only trim that comes with the AWD as of now. Thanks, I appreciate it.
