Default Lexus dealership selling full F-Sport ISX50

Parkplace Lexus in Grapevine, TX is now selling ISX50s with every single F-Sport part. They had a black IS250, base $32,xxx. With all the parts $38,600. That's a hell of a lot of money for bolt-ons.

The good thing is, it looked great lowered with the gunmental 19's.

If it includes every single F-Sport product then it's not bad, that is if you really want them all. The brakes and wheels are already $6000+.

The F-Sport brake kit alone cost $6,000! The Springs/Shocks are $1300. The wheels are $2500. I am sure they cut out a lot of the labor costs as well. If someone is looking to get all the F-Sport parts put on, this would actually save them a ton of money.

If somebody was looking to do that they would have an expensive ridiculous car. The wheels and the exhaust suck. i would not want them for any price.

Did you have the exhaust? It is supposed to be pretty good.

Youre talking about 10k in accessories. I doubt it had every single F-Sport part.

I would guess it did not have the F-sport brakes...

I added up $12,470 for all the F sport parts, not including manual transmission clutch and quick shifter, or labor. I'm guessing another $1,200 - $2,000 for labor.

Front brakes
$3,025

Rear brakes
$2,550

Carbon fiber engine cover
$865.00

Exhaust
$1,470

Intake
$455.00

Front shocks
$370.00

Rear shocks
$370.00

Springs
$299.00

Chassis brace
$375.00

Sway bars
$495.00

Wheels
$2,196

These are all MSRP prices.

F-Sport parts on an IS 350 would likely be more appropriate.

That’s nothing...

Longo had/has an F-Sport IS250 for $42,xxx...

Plus to MY understanding.. Legally.. the F-Sport Intake & Exhaust can not be installed on a car until after actual time of purchase.
(parts would go on afterwards separately)...

Lexus of Orland had a 250 AWD with F-Sport rims, springs and intake only for about $46k. That is an insane rip-off IMO and I am sure others will agree. Gotta love secondary dealer invoicing, this is where the real money is made (LOL). I would not waste my time souping up thw 250 with every F-Sport item IMO, I would simply buy a 350. I am not bashing the 250 as I have one, but I think it is a no brainer after seeing this overpriced 250.

why is this??? I can tell you the do it in my state and have for years. I cant say that they shouldn't be doing it but it doesn't make sense that a dealer can not load up a car on the showroom floor "or" even a demo for one to drive and see how the stuff is. This is a way for the dealers to make $$$ of the new cars especially with the soft market we are in. I will have to check with my buddy who owns the Lexus/Acura/Honda....and others to see what they can and cant do??

At fsport.com it says "This air intake system has an aftermarket emission certification only and cannot be sold or financed with a new vehicle."
