The V8 is back: IS 500 F SPORT Performance
#4336
I'm buying the white on black from Louisiana. It's scheduled to arrive January 7-12. I placed the VIN in the Lexus app, but there's no gas or air visible. Anybody know what port they use in LA? Also, which companies are the go-to for performance parts (exhaust, tune, etc)?

Just saw on Reddit that Lexus Winter Park is doing a 40k mark up for the LE... ROFL.

GTHaus has an exhaust cooking and I have pestered Swift for some springs as well. Titan7 gave me a maybe when I asked for 20" wheels.. so not sure about them.

I would love to calls these guys, inquire on the LE and then not say a single thing other than bursting out laughing for like 2 minutes and then just hang up (lol) - To be honest, while I am excited for the IS 500, but seriously folks, this is not an LFA!?!? It is still after all, a 4 cylinder engine right IssaV

^^ It is unfortunate. It is ridiculous that Canadians are getting their LE for much cheaper than what some US customers are paying for theirs.

Has anybody actually been known to pay these ridiculous mark-ups?

Maybe not the full markup some are asking, but I would assume some jabroni will pay well over MSRP for one of these Launch Editions. There are plenty of stupid people with stupid money here in the tri-state area, so I expect these cars to sell at these stupid prices. Wouldn't be surprised to see one end up on Cars and Bids or Bring a Trailer in the not so distant future to have that person make a cheap buck. Plenty of brand new Broncos are ending up on there with miles in the teens claiming "just didn't like it".

Lexus Watertown(MA) contacted me for a 12K markup. Back to summer, they told me they have 40 people on their list for LE. I decided to skip it.
Guess they had hard time selling it: https://www.lexusofwatertown.com/sea...md=7527&tp=new
