Hello guys,
i am planning to purchase 2010 IS350 without navi option but i heard that it's kinda hard to find. I am just wondering if it's true or anybody know about it. If it is true, i guess i have to go with IS250

^^ you should just call your local dealer and see what they have coming in. that would be the best thing to do.

i want to get with Navi but $$ is the problem. I guess i will just get Is250 with some F-Sports accessories.

If your choices are 350 without nav or 250 with nav then the 350 is the very easy choice if you care at all about power.

A $150-200 Garmin'll do more nav-wise than the OEM system anyway, and save you 2k on the purchase of the car. (and more each year you don't pay Lexus $300 for new maps)

As to finding you, you have 3 options:

Local dealer might have one

Local dealer might be able to swap one of his cars with
another dealer that has one.

Local dealer can special order exactly the car you want (though you might have to shop around a bit to find a local dealer who is competent enough to special order and also willing to not rip you off to do it)

teddyh20......I work for TMS and Kurtz pretty much nailed it on the head. I work in Jax, FL so I deal with the Lexus Southern Region multiple times a day. I would say approximately 75-80% of the cars we get from Japan via vessel at the port I work at have Nav.
They can always do a special order for you, however, it is a 3 month process since you are in CA, and a very lengthy one! I had to wait 4 months since I am on the east coast and I just got my IS-C last Wed, and I had ordered it on Aug 10th. It is a miserable wait, but if it is really something you want, it is worth it.

Thanks for all the help. I gonna try to contact more dealers and i hope i can find one with decent deal.
If not, I am getting Is250 which isn't big deal for me

teddyh20....I wish you luck man.....An IS250 is not a bad deal either, yeah it has 100 less hp.....but you are driving a Lexus...what more is there to say.....I just got a manual version of the IS250c, and love it! Nothing wrong w/ a 250!

Why not go with an 09 ? Not really* much* of a difference between the 09 and the '10
