Would 100% recommend checking out your local Credit Unions for rates as well. Both mine beat those rates easily.

What about the 1000 off offer for IS models? Does it apply to the 500?

From looking at the Lexus website, no.

In So Cal - Longo Lexus has “No Markups” on the regular IS 500 models..

They also have a long wait list if you are going to be added to it..


For $100K plus I would rather get a 2022 RC F “Fuji Speedway Edition”
(no mark up)

Welp, Deposit made on the IS 500 Premium Edition. I guess I'm #4 in line with no markup. I'll sit back and watch everyone getting the LE post their photos and feedback. Cheers all!

Is it safe to assume the IS500 will have the premature tire wear issues? If so, I will probably just replace the bushings from the beginning.

Once we know the part numbers of the LCA bushings that will answer many questions…

I am 99.9 sure it will since it will have pretty much the front end of the DHP and for that reason, I.will swap mine right away like i did with my 350

"Random car update....this pertains to likely to all vehicles that are sitting at the Port of Portland.....as of 10 minutes ago my LE still shows at the Port of Portland with no Processing date"

Mine too is at the Port of Portland, or at least I was told it was scheduled to arrive there around December 8th. It's a non-LE, which seems to be somewhat rare on these early models.

^^ I agree, I was talking with a dealer here in Canada and he was saying that the number of IS (300/350) are almost impossible to come by. Things don't look too promising here for the MY 2022, or whatever will be available will be extremely limited so customers will have to often make compromise in order to get one. That being said, this was not the dealer I am dealing with, I had just called to see what they had in their inventory (new and used).

Totally off topic, but I would like to extend my most sincere thoughts to any forum members who have been directly or indirectly impacted by the devastating tornado that ripped through the various states last night and took so many lives. If this isn't appropriate to post, moderators, please feel free to edit/remove it.

What are your thoughts on cold air intakes, headers, and exhaust for the IS500, is anyone planning any modifications?

I tried to get Borla to do an exhaust but they said they aren't planning on doing anything for the IS 500. I'll have to wait and see how it sounds before changing the intake or exhaust.

I pre-ordered an exhaust from GTHaus. Haven't found any intakes I like yet, may go for a dry drop in.
