Default Coin holders in 2008 models

So has it been confirmed?

And if so, then where are the Lexus OEM parts to get these?
I've been waiting for this so I don't make a mess of coins in my cup holder!

I have an 08 and it does have the coin holder. Its pretty much usless, it only holds approx 8 quarters.

I put my coins in a plastic bag in the center consol cup holder. it is very easy to pull out. Save yourself the money on buying the coin holder.

I have a 2008 IS350 and I need someone to show me where the coin holder is or goes. The only one I see is the one next to the steering wheel that holds maybe 4 quarters, and if it's not full, the quarters rattle.

Well, it appears that you already found the coinholder, which was recycled off my mom's '86 Camry.

ill admit, at first i didnt know what the coin-holder was, but after i did, i thought it was a very "interesting" design it wouldntve bothered me, personally, if my vehicle didnt come with it.

The coin holder sucks, every time I actuall put quarters in it somehow when i'm getting out of the car i'll nudge it a little with my hand or knee and the coins fall out lol...i just put the coins in the ashtray.

I wish it had the misc. drawer style compartment that they had on my wife's ES350 that we just traded in for the RX350 that she just had to have. That was nice...

When you go through the drive thru, just tell them to "KEEP THE CHANGE!"

Problem Solved (Quick and Painless)!!!

Am I the only person left on earth that buys pants with pockets? I carry my coinholder wherever I go.

I dont ever have coins. I pay with plastic. Problem solved. I do, however, keep my little coin honder full of quarters, just in case i ever have to pay toll somewhere (even though its like 3 or 4 dollars to cross a bridge around here).

This is a viable option to reduce the Lexus interior coin holders that offer a small amount of change retainment.

Yup it's most likely credit or debit for me too.
