First things first, I'm from Canada (Toronto), so I'm looking at Canadian 2009 IS250 AWD.
Nothing on the website or in the brochure says anything about parking-sensors.

However, I found a 2nd hand 2009 IS250 AWD online that seems to have the parking sensors (SCROLL DOWN FOR PICTURE), and the car has moonroof, leather and navigation package.

Also, when I went to the dealer yesterday I believe I remember seeing parking sensors on an IS250 AWD with only moonroof and leather package, without the navigation.

Can anybody confirm this for me please? It would help to save a lot of money because if the car DOES come with parking sensors then I wouldn't need to get the navigation + camera.

I don't see why it wouldn't come with the parking sensors. However, my 2009 250AWD did NOT come with it. I was pretty mad when I figured out it didnt. I assumed it did because i seen the squares in the bumpers but realized it was for towing. But oh well..

LennDawg, in the United States park assist is a stand-alone option ($500 MSRP); it's neither standard nor part of any package.

The original poster is from Canada; I'm not sure how park assist is sold in that country. The car in his pictures does in fact have the option.

Yes the 250 comes with parking sensors, but not all of them have it.

Thanks for the clarification Bichon. I'm still pissed mine didnt come with it. I almost backed into my other car in my driveway because i was waiting for the damn thing to start beeping! haha

I wish I had parking sensors, I accidentally backed into a pole the other day

So--it comes with PA, unless it doesn't?

It is an option in the US. If Lexus of Canada has a website, that's where you will find the answer.

PA is only good for backing up to large objects. I've used the system and found that because the system can miss some objects, you can not depend on it. The front sensors do not cover the center of the vehicle. If you have Nav, PA is useless. I very rarely use it. For me it was a waste of $500.
