Hey everybody I have a question regarding special order, specifically if you guys think it will be necessary or not.
Here is what I am looking for:
IS250 RWD automatic
Black (Obsidian) exterior
Black or Grey interior
Navigation
Pretty much basic specs, I am assuming at least a few dealers in southern cali would have this car in stock.. I am looking to purchase in July, and I would much rather buy the car and not have to wait for special order. Also, I have to sell my current car (private party, not trade-in), so timing is an issue.
I would prefer not to have the 18's (I have 18's on my car now and I have dented all of them with potholes in ****ty southern cali roads). And I am not picky with the rest of the additional options.
It seems like dealers just cant keep ISX50's on the lot and most people on this forum have special ordered. So... thats my question, any insight would be great..

You'll find a 250 on the lot with those options. It'll have 18s.
And if you think the roads in southern California are bad, try Pittsburgh. I hit potholes that ate babies whole there. Or Michigan. Heck, anywhere it snows.

why special order? i really don't think you'll have much trouble finding what you're looking for. if it was an is350, you'll need quite a bit of luck. not so much w/ the is250...
although if you're waiting until JULY to buy the car, dealer inventory of 2k7 is250s might be slim pickings for you.

definitely look up autotrader.com - you can see dealer stock there - it's pretty accurate I've found...
Also, I've seen some people on here with some nice 17's that they bought from tire rack - you might look at getting these if you can't find one without 18's...I'm sure you can sell your 18's on eBay...
here's a couple of posts about the 17's I quickly found for you:
