thanks! I rather have these over bags lol. Tbh rides good and perfect if you have avs! I’ll be changing over to coils once I get my rims. My style is more of Function/form. I wanna look good and be fast 😆 Plus I was debating if I should trade my car for is500 but was thinking don’t wanna do it for just the motor. DHP is kinda rare but we’ll see.

Oh I agree with you all the way. Big no to bags. Not on these cars which are meant for taking corners. Definitely some good springs or coils like you mentioned.

She handles like a beast! Rims are like 8+ pounds less each and the RSR downs are perfect.

Try ebay Amazon is showing unavailable. It looks really good and the gaps are barely noticeable.

^^ For what it's worth, I traded my 2021 IS 350 for the 2022 IS 500 and never looked back. I agree, the 500 is really the 350 DHP with a more potent engine but OMG is it ever a nice motor....You wouldn't have to worry about wanting to look fast with an IS 500, you'd be fast (lol)

Good lord, you are on it today! I feel like a member of the @wthrman2 Amen Choir. 😂😂

@LA20671 I had a 2016 IS 350 FSport and didn’t upgrade to the 2021 because it was essentially the same car, but with 5 more ponies. I wasn’t a member of a car club at the time, so mountain runs and canyon carvings wasn’t a factor. E.g. No use for the DHP.

When the IS 500 was announced, I jumped on the multiple deposit bandwagon. Long story short, the V8 (along with the DHP) is truly the Final Boss Form of the 3rd Gen IS.

I loved my previous IS’, but my joy of motoring tripled with the 500. I have the Mark Levinson, but music is played roughly 20% of the time. The sound of that V8 is literally all the music I need.

…a year later.

If you can swing it smartly and truly want one, do yourself a favor, you will not regret it.

If you dont mind, can you give numbers on the trade? how much extra you had to put up and things like that most of the financial details. Looking to do the same with my 22 350

My 2021 IS 350 was sitting at about 17,500 miles, and I got $41,500 for the trade. I did have to negotiate to get that number. Thankfully, I didn't have to put anything else down, as the positive equity from the trade helped.

wow what states are you guys in? I wanted appraisal for my 2022 IS350 with 7k miles to trade in for Molten Pearl IS500 and they were giving me only 38,000$ for it… there are no scratches or anything on car! And even with negotiating there would be still negative equity so it was not worth it for me.
New Jersey is ripping off at the dealerships 🤬
