Seems like a case of the dealer "knowing what they got" too lol. It'll definitely sit. Dealers think that last year's performance is a reflection of this year. For one, it feels like there is a LOT more inventory coming in for the IS500, and in the last1-2 months, used car prices have dropped, and in some cases, substantially.
Agree 100%. Total number of new and used IS500's this time last year on cars.com was like 20. Right now it's 97 and 79 are 2023.
The problem is most dealers are stupid, to be blunt, and are slow to recognize the shifting market. Just like Lexus is slow to update their interiors. I guess they're consistent all around.

I noticed this too. Demand is definitely changing there are a ton more of all cars online compared to last year. I will say there are lot more whites, red, and Molton. White seems to be most produced by the data spreadsheet on the other thread and as beautiful as molten is, I’m guessing it’s not as popular due to the sheer boldness. I didn’t see that many cloudbursts, caviars, either blues, or atomic silver that struggled to sell online.
I just got my Iridium 2023 IS 500 back from tint, PPF (full front, mirrors, headlights, lower rear doors, and door edge guards), and ceramic coating. Looks great IMO. I was so happy I dropped off my 2021 F150 Platinum PowerBoost to get it fully detailed, front tint, and ceramic coated when I picked up the IS.
Are the lower rear doors a common place to PPF on these models or just extra precaution? Did you also PPF the front fenders?
Hello jororo I also njoy the silver vs the dark gray rims. It helps the bling effect. I noticed you bought your IS at Peterson in ID, I also bought an LC there and had it shipped to NH, good people! Njoy
That’s right! You’re good, no need to look any further. 😎

An absolute must, the lower portion of the back fenders behind the tires. The design allows for rocks to pepper the area non-stop. I didn’t PPF this area of my 2016 and it looked like hell.

If not too much trouble, could you pinpoint exactly where I should PPF in the back fenders and rear doors? Also are most people doing the whole front fenders or just a certain section of it?
