Yes, true. Lexus needs to take the "Offers" button off the IS500 page then, lol.

Maybe once inventory is available, they'll have similar promos... well, I'm hoping at least for a decent APR as I plan on purchasing.

^^ yes, in an ideal world but I doubt they will carry many of these on the lot, this could be a car that is ordered and sold before it arrives. I see better chances for promotions and such for the 2023 MY once the initial excitement starts to subsides

^^^ I wouldn’t be surprised if deals went the way of the do-do. Direct order at MSRP only.

Could be in terms of sale price. But I'd like to think APR could at least be on the lower end at times. But who knows, the world has become a very weird place.

So anyone care to make a prediction on when the first forum member is going to post their IS 500 pics?!? Will be a LE or just a regular version of the F Sport Performance?

The inventory manager is great and I can’t complain, but wow. I couldn’t believe it. And then she told me they’re getting an RC F Fuji Speedway and that one has a $30,000 addendum.

in other news, she checked and IS’ are starting to show up in Freight, meaning some cars are already off of ships.
Dude, at that point I would just get the LC500. Historically, does Lexus add colors or materials from their “special editions” to their future mass releases?

My guy is off today so I won’t get an update till tomorrow at the earliest. I have a question for those getting the car and planning on keeping it for many years. Are you going to do the 1000-1200 mile break in or are you just going to drive it from the get go how you would normally?

100% the 1k miles break-in. Probably go a bit past recommended revs a couple times but besides that..

I hope its me...I work 5 miles or less from where my car is right now (LE)...only set back could be that I asked for the Door Sills to be installed at the Port and I don't know if that will cause further delay.....I was told 12/16-12/20 but perhaps there will be enough vehicles to send a full truck across town to the dealership soon....hoping its before the 16th as I'm out of town 17th-19th (which sucks).....but at the same time if I do get it by the 16th I won't want to get out of the car.....

For what it's worth, I always go a bit easier on the throttle with any new car I get - Not doing hard launch or hard stops in my opinion, are never a bad thing. Is it necessary, probably not but it makes me feel better I did hence I am planning on keeping doing it.

I can't even imagine how excited you guys must be knowing your delivery is so imminent! I would not be able to sleep (lol) - I would like to ask a huge favor, when you get your LE and have a chance to upload more pics, that would be appreciated. I have seen teh stock photos and videos about 200X and need new ones. Mind you I will get to see the LE in person when it arrives but I am so curious to hear from you if you feel the car looks better in person than in pics
