Darcars Lexus of Mt Kisco has an Infrared with black interior. This is the color combo I was looking for but they said they were taking bids on this car and the starting point would be $5k over MSRP. I told them hard pass.

wthrman2, I'm starting to love the white/white combo too. If one shows up around here in the Spring I'm going for it. This one is in Miami.

I think Tipsy said West Kendall was charging a silly markup though.

I think this is the same dealership I talked to about 2 weeks ago, sales guy even had the guts to say that it was Lexus USA that is forcing them for the market adjustments.

This is still so surprising to me, they sold me my LE at sticker and even threw in an f sport watch and matching suede cap lol. I mean ig they just wanted to meet their quota for the end of the year so they can get more allocations. But damn the markups are crazy, mainly because now it’s a whole new year they could care less ig.

Just in case someone may need some weekend entertainment. This is a LE review by some locals here in town. And the LE is the used one that's well above.....and has over 200 miles on it now.

My dealer had a markup originally, but the GM told my sales guy that it was a mistake and they took it off without any pressure from me really. Also threw in a second set of tires to sweeten the deal.

Man, I am having a hard time finding a dealer to do MSRP here in So Cal. They are all asking 20 to 30 over. Congrats to everyone who has purchased their IS500.

a while back i was concerned about a “clunking” in the transmission, however
Im noticing that this car has some pretty rough shifting in general. The down shifts are fairly smooth but the up shifts are not. Especially in sport+ mode. Im not so concerned now that i got to try another IS model and noticed this is a characteristic of this car. I think with reliability comes less refinement hence the choppier drive train, which im ok with and i even prefer because i want to keep this car for a while

What do yall think?
