Default Lexus F-Sport Sale

I did not find anyone posting this and did a quick search. If it's already posted, then I'm sorry.

Anyway, I stumbled across this when I was looking at the IS specs on Lexus Website.

"In celebration of the two-year anniversary of F Sport™ Equipment, these port-installed packages will be available at special prices until July 31. See your dealer for details."



The package one sounds nice to me...

Just as a heads up, priced it on Sewell with the CL discount and it comes out to $1,209 (for package 1).

i'm not too sure if that really is a sale. I just did a quick quote from sewell and I came up with $1,460 for package 1 shipped here. Shipping to HI was quoted at $250 so it's actually $1,210 before shipping.

if installation is included then its a pretty good sale considering what they charge for installation.

Thanks for the inputs guys/gals.

That's what I initiially thought with "these port-installed packages will be available at special prices until July 31"

I'll check with my dealer to confirm if it's including installation tomorrow.

Uh... "port installed" means at the port where the car arrives from Japan when it's shipped over.

This is for NEW cars that haven't been delivered to dealerships yet, not cars already on the road.

With that 3rd package you're better off upgrading to an ISF

please don't consider getting fsport springs... if you're worried about our crap roads/high curbs infront our homes, get the eibach 250 springs 1.4front/1rear, its much nicer without being too aggressive.

just called the Stevens Creek Lexus Dealership... sales person says he's finding out more information regarding if package includes installation. I'll update again when he calls back later.

If so, this would be a decent deal since dealerships charge $150/per hour on labor. Plus, there is warranty on the work.

Thanks for the headsup llamaboiz. I thought the IS-F springs will drop about an inch (front & rear) according to the specs on website.

Shouldn't the discounts go up instead of down as the packages go up?

LOL... that's Lexus for ya.

Still waiting from the parts department to give me a definite answer if the price includes the installation.

Doh! I thought port-installed meant at dealer's car port / garage.

Is Lexus website joking?

I just got a call back from Stevens Creek Lexus in San Jose, CA and they quoted lower than the special pricing on Lexus website.

Anyways, price for package 1 = $1,221 without tax. Not bad considering that I didn't get any CL discount.

Of coarse, installation is where they make up for profits.
