Hi All, just found this site and it looks great, I like it much better than the other IS forums i was browsing. Anyways, I have an IS 350 on order(1/17/06) should be here end of Feb. hopefully. I paid $44,438 including tax, tags, fees. Sports Package, Navi, ML, parking assist and headlamp washers.

Anyways, i hope i learn a lot about the new IS and contribute equally.
Post pictures, when i get it in.
Thanks!

btw, anyone know the bolt pattern and the offset for the wheels? Looked at the FAQ/Specs didnt see it there.

you might want to state the widths as well. offsets are useless without the widths

Congratulations!! You ARE lucky. My order has been in since October 14th. I just got the call today that my baby is being made right now in Japan and should be here in four to six weeks. Mine is Tungsten Pearl w/black leather interior, sports package, and nav. I was told it will be the first to arrive in Tampa Bay. I asked if they were going to throw in anything special for that honor and they laughed. I will still be trying. Mine is full MSRP. They wouldn't budge but finally added $2,500 to my trade in.

TIM817- thanks, where were you able to find this info?

Yuri- would you happen to know how much you can deviate from the +45 and +50?

Happy Gilmore- I paid MSRP for everything. $43,069 for the vehicle. Tax on the car was only $1,185, then add the other bs dealers and the state likes to tack on. Final price came to $44,438

GSE25 - I have yet to see any 2IS in black in person, i was actually thinking of red. How do you like yours? Would you get the same color again?

I like this forum alot more then other forums to get info about the new IS250/350.

Ever since www.is300.net opened its owner forums on the new IS that the public cant view pissed me off!! They should enable non-owners to "view only" and not penalize them for not owning a new IS. How is one suppose to learn about the vehicle they love if they cant view the forum before they buy??? The GD forum there barely has any info on the new IS.

This forum is much better.
