Yeah, I know what I want, white on white but that isn't available for now for me anyway.

Sigh ... why is this so stressful, at least shoeboy is happy

hey everyone, been a while since I've logged in here since moving on with something else. FYI, a couple of dealerships have been hounding me even though I've told them I am not in the market for the IS500 anymore, but if someone is looking for he LE, they have 2 at Bell Lexus North Scottsdale at MSRP, $68,900. if anyone is interested, PM and I can give you the contact info. Bell does not mark up their cars.

That's just a few miles from me. Good to know! These cars are not showing up on their website, however.

I'm currently talking to the dealer in Scottsdale and they have 1 LE that's still available for me to grab, but they want to charge me $8k to wrap the entire car in paint protective film. Umm....no! Just give me the car the way it comes to you. Waiting on the Sales Manager to call me. I will definitely walk if they try to charge me for that.

8K to wrap it in PPF? Thats ridiculous! Full cars around here fully wrapped with PPF cost anywhere from 4-5K tops.

Tinting should be no more than $300-400, depending on what market you are in. We charge $295 here in Clemmons, NC and that's a full ceramic film.

One of my dealers came to me for the LE at $68,995 plus $8,000 for ceramic coating and front clear bra. Of course then we have tax and all the rest. I said pass, hit me up when you have the premium editions.

As a consumer of Lexus - state your facts and hold your ground..!!

I DO NOT WANT AFTERMARKET PRODUCTS or SERVICES on my Brand New IS 500..


You want it they way Lexus USA ordered and shipped them from their Japan Factory..


Mark Ups and dealer add ons or just profitable tactics to slap onto the final sale MSRP..

Things to consider are like extended warranty or a wheel and tire insurance if it’s cost effective for the buyer..

The cars are NOT even inside the dealerships yet, so there is plenty of time before these cars are even touched by anyone.
