$2k, $3k....even $5k mark ups on a $65k vehicle is to be expected and is NOTHING. To the ones getting at MSRP, congrats.....be thankful because it isn't the norm now.

There are dealers out there who have not gone over MSRP, so the sentiment is not shared by all.

…and as such, those are the folks I’ll deal with first. 😎

I've added a tab for Aftermarket Interest- if we can quantify how many people would buy, they may be more likely to go into production for the IS500.

Thanks! One favor I would like to ask:
What is included in the trunk with the spare tire/wheel? Scissor jack, inflator/pump, lug nut wrench?

CALLING AROUND THE COUNTRY TO FIND THE 2022 LEXUS IS 500 F SPORT FOR MSRP 👀 - YouTube
::heehee:: What a truly strange video! Bruh has not kept up with the Lexus IS news of the day. 😂

The look on his face was worth $40,000!

One of the few numbers I would consider getting an LE for.

the first video shared did show 385. If it's the same port and same people, just shows how disrespectful and reckless they are abusing other people's cars. Even revving em up before the engine can even warm up
