Default Are floormats included??

I did a search and did not find anything. When you purchase the IS are the floor mats included?? Meaning you don't have to pay extra for them?

Thanks!!

Yes. Only BMW nickles and dimes you enough on a $40k+ car to actually have the ***** to make you pay extra for mats.

Charging an extra $194 for a trunk mat, a cargo net and a set of wheel locks is almost as bad. These should be dealer installed accessories and truly be optional, but instead were preinstalled and on the factory window sticker of EVERY lux package car in the dealer's allocation.

you dont need these items as greatly as floormats. BMW also has the nerve to charge you 1500 for leather and 500 dollars for metallic paint, thats far worse

The mats on my BMW were FREE. So were the wheel locks, wax/cleaning kit, other goodies.

The all weather mats on IS350 were not free of course, they are included as part of a package.

If the dealer doesn't throw in the winter floor mats or doesn't sell them to you for half price go to ebay where you will get a better price. If you are looking for clear (like me) go to autosportcatalog.com and look at item 33366.

Does Lexus throw in the leather seats for free? I'm pretty sure not. They are part of the "Premium Package with Additional Options" which is a required option (at least in Chicago).

I've seen that cloth is standard, where available.

premium package gives you preforated leather (has holes) you will get normal smooth leather without it. Go build a base IS and it always has leather and there is option to add leather

under all IS trims, select interior features, leather is always there for the seats, doors, perforated leather is an option (from the premium package)

Cloth seats are standard outside of the US. Leather is standard in the States.

God Bless the USA!!!

True. I guess the point I was trying to make is that leather seats are an extra cost option . You go to build your own (on lexus.com) and you'll see the base price on the left. The leather option is checked, hence it's an extra cost option, even if you don't want it. So in that scenario leather is standard, but you are still paying extra for it.

Of course it's a great option, I would not have considered the car without it.. Same with HID, ML, etc..
