FYI if anyone is searching, Lexus of North Miami still has their 2 LE’s. Sales guy texted me before Christmas and again today. I didn’t bother asking how much because I am not interested in an LE, but I believe this dealership is doing markups. I hope no one is still paying markups - even for the LE!

It was a pleasure getting to see your car here. I can assure you, it was treated like royalty here!

@flipside909 Noticed 252 was corrected but Now 3 North Miami's. This also is outside its production block for numbers.

Are we sure 258 - Lexus of North Miami, North Miami, FL is not number #285 as that falls more inline with the other VIN around it? Sorry to be nitpicky lol. I would assume if its number 285 then it would be VIN N5001613.

The other 2: N5001551 would be #252 and 5001556 would be #254

Very cool statement from a dealership rep. Hopefully there are more of you guys/gals lurking around.

^^ I agree, he is an extremely great contributor to the forum too and was helpful when I had my RC - He has a great looking car with very cool mods and has some amazing photos of his car done!

Quite ironic, and further to that we are both in Canada where cars like the LC500 don't really make too much sense given that you won't be driving them for 6 months of the year. There are 2 dealerships very close to me that have a Launch Edition in stock. I'm almost afraid to go and see it as I might just get baited into buying it, which makes no sense heading into the heart of the winter. And I'm in no mood to be shopping for winter tires at the moment. At least with the AWD IS350 I have right now, I can tough it out during the winter with the all seasons that it comes with stock. Does surprisingly well in the snow.

However, I agree that the incognito grey looks alot better than I originally thought. THanks to everyone for posting such great pics of their IS500's!

I think I'll wait it out until the end of March and see what "regular" IS500's come into the various dealership inventories, and then make a decision at that time heading into the spring/summer.

The incognito looks great in person! I might be biased though 😉

To be honest, if you have an interest, even light, in the IS 500 you should go see the LE!! I know what you are saying about the heart of the winter but you may be able to strike a deal with the dealer to have them keep it until March/April as a floor demo to create a buzz with a deposit or paper contract to secure your deal. To be honest, the LE looks stunning in users pictures and I love it more and more...if you have a chance to grab one, don't miss out. Once their gone, that is it....

I will definitely have to agree. My current 350 is cloudburst grey, and the incognito doesn't look to be that much of departure from that in all honesty. When I first saw the photos/videos
back in the spring when they announced the IS500 LE - it just didn't seem all that appealing (seemed a bit lighter ). I don't know. So hard to judge from photos/videos. MUST see in person. Absolute must.

253 - Lexus of Woodland Hills, Woodland Hills, CA are you sure this is correct as they are only allotted 2 units and both are accounted for.
#202 Kendall Lexus of Eugene
#188 Lexus of Glendale, CA
#277 LEXUS SAN DIEGO
258 - Lexus of North Miami, North Miami, FL, are we sure this is right as we don't have anymore near other related numbers for that dealer.
#376 Lexus of Tulsa
#444 is a Lexus Cooperate car in GA

Thank you, sir! I did get asked by someone at the store to hear it once again before I left with it - it was a good dealership experience overall - you guys seem to have fun out there. I look forward to learning a little more from everyone as this is my intro to Lexus. My previous ride was a 2012 Golf R that I sold with less than 40K miles on the clock a few months ago.

Anytime! If you ever have any questions feel free to message me, I can definitely help you out. If you need anything let me know and I can get you in touch with the right people. That pretty much goes for anyone on here.

I hear you , and yup, once they're gone that's it. They will be snapped up quickly. Good point about asking the dealer to hold the car for a bit. I remember a conversation with a dealer a while back where he said they could hold it for maybe a month, but probably not much longer than that. Getting the car in March seems good.
