The first dealer with my April deposit mentioned a security system a few months back. The only thing he knew was it was “…a satellite based lo-jack” system. No specs, pricing, or if I could opt out. 🤬

Nice to see a fellow ATL-area neighbor getting an IS 500. Congrats on the LE!

Congrats to all of the new IS500 owners! I look forward to finally seeing these cars on the road after such a long wait.

Just got the same update from my dealer at the same time you did. Wonder if they’re riding on the same truck 🤔

yes I ordered an LE. I fell in love with the color from the moment I saw it. Put my deposit down same day I dropped to my local.

Apparently…. But yeah I refuse to pay any such silly “market adjustment.” I’ll wait it out… I’m not interested in the LE. So I’ll sit back and watch and wait.
