I saw the launch edition today in person and really liked it until I heard the market adjustment on it. Does anyone know if we will ever be able to get a regular one (non LE) without any dealer markups?

Depends entirely on your dealership/market.

My dealer sold me MSRP less 1,000 for Military Discount. No markup

Yes, there is an on-going spreadsheet here:

I'm assuming dealers marking up the LE might keep on marking up the normal IS500, but you never know. Just gotta ask them.

Ehargh - So you had a choice of a white on black, and a Cloudburst grey with white interior and turned them down?!?! I hate you (LMAO) - I would have given my right leg for either (although it would be hard to drive afterward) - Then Answer could have had my white on red. We need a National Canadian broker to shuffle the inventory around (lol)

Let me know if anybody wants to send me exhaust setups for R&D
Are you actually saying there's unsold 500's out there? Or that you were like first in line and had the full buffet?

^^ I agree, if those puppies aren't sold, Answer, get your dealer on it (lol)

Also - I will say these are not the most flattering pics of the white with the wrapper on the wheels and such, but it is a step in the right direction so thanks for sharing. Still disappointed that we don't get a sunroof here in Canada but as they say "C'est la vie"

Just to clarify I was on the waitlist for a LE and the dealership made a mistake & put me first in line for the performance (white). But I also ordered another LE at a different dealer since the first dealer was very unsure at the time of deposit.

The cloudburst was turned down by another customer from what I was told, so I went to go check it out.

Ended up with dealer # 3 (ordered LE), this dealer almost gave my car to another client as well

^^ Ask my wife, my side of the bed hasn't been touched in a few weeks - I am spending way too much time on here (lol)
