Hello all,

I am interested in an IS350 F Sport AWD with Navigation Package and possibly blind spot monitoring. The MSRP on the car is $48,625. The websites I am using to find a decent price say around $44-$45k, I am just wondering if you guys are getting better deals? It would be nice to get the price down closer to 42k. Also, I notice everyone on this forum gets the F Sport models, is there any specific reason for this?

Thanks.

The thread that lists what people bought/leased their car for is litterally right below your topic - See this thread.

Everyone has different reasons why they bought F-Sport or Non-F-Sport.


Why F-Sport...
- Wheels and brake pads and better looking stock rims
- Thicker steering wheel
- Access to red interior
- F-Sport seats are more comfortable to some (like myself)
- More aggressive grill
- AVS Suspension and Sport + mode

Why Non-F-Sport...
- Non has fog lights
- Non has access to memory seats
- Non has access to air ventilated seats
- Some don't like the F-Sport grill

Not a definitive list but that is basically what it comes down to for many here. That help?

From what I have read online the adaptable suspension does come with the AWD version as you mentioned, but our salesmen mentioned that it doesn't...whose wrong? Also, how is the wear on the F Sport AWD tires?

If the AWD is F-Sport than yes it will come with AVS. Perhaps he was confused by the transmission as the AWD has 6 gears while the RWD has 8. The AVS is limited to the 350 model so he might have got tongue tied with that.

Ditto on the trans. I had to argue with 2 sales guys about the AWD not having 8 gears.

I would rather get RWD and some winter tires. Probably better than AWD with all season.
