Default IS 350 F Sport with mark Levinson, do they exist??

I have been contacting dealerships inquiring about an IS 350 F Sport with Mark Levinson. Most of them told me I would have to special order it. Did any of you get the same response??

When I ordered mine I was told the opposite My sales guy wasnt the best to work with but he told me that if I wanted an f sport without the ML package then I would have to special order it. He said that all f sports come with ML system. He wasnt the brightest tool in the shed though so I wouldnt take his words to heart.

My understanding is the ML system doesn't normally go out with the allocated cars anymore. In the beginning I know it did, but they stopped that practice. My dealership that I ordered through stated that they couldn't even order one with ML for dealer stock, only special orders. Not sure about other parts of the country though.

I wasn't able to find one in Nor/So Cal back in October when I got mine so I settled for one without. Also wanted VGRS but couldn't get that either. I was searching around with TrueCar and CarsDirect but ended up getting mine at Stevens Creek Lexus straight off the truck. I'm happy with the standard stereo, tested it out with some AC/DC at Vol = 55 today and couldn't detect much distortion but I'm coming from a 4x4 Taco daily driver so I might not be the best reference point.

I was able to pick on up at Longo Lexus last night. ultra white/roja red with BSM and Mark Levinson.

That one just shipped over though so maybe some are getting the allotment.

One guy told me that it wasn't an option but online it clearly is. Thanks for all your replies.

I walked into my dealer with what I wanted to order and by luck they had one on the way already. I had to wait 4 weeks for it to arrive. But It was a dealer stock order car.
Obsidian, black interior, ML, VGRS. F sport.

You should only have to special order ML in a 350 F Sport if you want AWD also, except if your port of entry is in the Pacific Northwest

Of course no help to you in Cali, but the dealer here in the greater Raleigh area shows 2 F's in stock with ML. So they do exist.

I guess I got lucky. I bought the Demo IS350 that had every option possible. It had 1200 miles on it and got $3000 off sticker price. It also already had tinted windows.

When I got my car, it was the only one with a ML at the dealer, for both F-Sport and non F-Sport. Dealer was Keyes Lexus.

My local dealer shows 7 IS350 F sports with ML in stock (mix of RWD and AWD). I don't see why they can't ship something instead of forcing a special order.


Quick Reply: IS 350 F Sport with mark Levinson, do they exist??
