The 2011 F-Sport package looks nice. If you can get lower on the IS250 F-Sport, then it might not be so bad, assuming that it is only the 1000 difference to start with. You might want to try negotiating for a price lower than the Costco membership as I heard the Costco membership prices are not always the lowest you can go. I believe the intent of the Costco Auto Program is for no-haggle car buying. You might get a better price if you can haggle. I haven't done the Costco program but maybe someone else here has more input on it.

For that price why not just get the 350? F-sport package aint worth the money. When you can get an extra 100hp from the 350

for 39k, get a base is350 and you'll still have a few grand left over for other stuffs OR a better package 350.

er not everybody wants to buy a used car.

If your choice is between the IS250 and IS250 F-Sport for 1K difference, I go with the F-sport version. Better suspension, wheels and a front lip.

i agree with Initial K, presuming ONLY 1k difference. but those prices seem awfully high OTD, so haggling would definitely be to your benefit.

It was a a new 2010 in August, but I paid $33k + ttl for a is250 with a $39k sticker price. There's no way a base is250 should cost $39k (unless you've special ordered a ton of stuff.)

I think the sticker on my IS350 FSport was like 44k... but im loving everything about it so far. The only thing i missed was memory seats, rear sunshade, parking sensors.. etc. Stuff i never used anyway. The ONLY option i miss from my IS250 is Mark Levinson...

If you want new, spend the extra 1K. If you would settle for gently used, I'd get the used IS-F.
