More from Canada...another unit I would not buy!! Why would Lexus not provide them a press car.

Which means - someone who buys number 331 will have a car that was driven hard by Throttle House.

As dumb as it sounds, I'd buy a car driven by them before I'd buy the LE driven by the other guy posted on here that caused a stir. Substance over clout.

^^ I understand, it is unfortunate however but the good news was that this was the first professional review with a Launch Edition so that is worth something

^^ i know that, I was just talking from the cool factor of seeing non-PR videos and footage, and just captured in the raw nature Other than some of the highly criticized videos we saw before

So my somewhat local ATL dealer called me today asking if I would be interested in a red on white IS500 on display in their showroom. The sales person told me this color combo was “as rare as hen’s teeth” and that my color choice of USB on Red “may never be produced”. I had put a $1000 deposit down with them back in 11/2021 because they assured me that they only sell at MSRP. Well, I asked him to send me a quote and sure enough it was at MSRP + 699 dealer fees and + $1200 resistall (non negotiable).
I was surprised when he told me that the resistall is mandatory and would be added to my “ordered” car too whenever it came in. I politely declined and asked him to cancel my order and refund the deposit.
I refuse to pay anything above MSRP and for any added fluff. So it seems like I won’t be purchasing the IS500 locally in ATL because all the dealers here are playing the gouging game.
Anyone interested in a red on white IS500 for 699 + 1200 above MSRP then pm me and I’ll get you in touch with the salesperson.

My local family of dealerships was the exact same way about the add-ons. Non-negotiable and was going to be added to all IS500s. Except mine was $6200. The only chance you might have to negotiate with ATL is if you have an invoice from another dealership showing the OTD price, not to be confused with the spec sheet.
Not buying locally, eh? I know a thing or two about that...
