500 != top trim, per se. The LX 600, for example, has a higher number, probably to denote either its higher status in the Lexus lineup and/or its higher power/torque output compared to other vehicles. Another example would be the NX, where the top trim is the 450h+. lol these alphabet soup names are getting out of hand.

Alpha numeric names are still way cooler than silly names like "Kicks" "Juke" "Focus" "Quest" "Soul" or "Leaf."

Back to IS500 related nonsense, somebody bought the used IS500 from Willow Grove Lexus for $75k, as it's no longer on their site. Sigh....

Yesterday someone also bought the Launch Edition that someone traded in for a Porsche, at Circle Porsche. Got an automated email yesterday afternoon that they dropped the price. And about 2 hours later another automated email that it sold.

Not cooler than Corvette, Gallardo, Aventador, Carrera, Enzo, etc

Though they do add some extra bits on to satisfy the alpha numeric side. Z06, ZR1, GT3, SF90, F8...

I think I would like a Lexus IS 500 GT3 One that comes with two turbos and a bit more back tire under it.

Yep, you don't ask, you don't receive.

I’m a horrible tech guy, 3 months after I picked up the car and I still have not customized the color of my 360 view or the Sirius XM. I have to knock this stuff out this week. (Created the subscription, but haven’t paired the car to my account.)

If you couldn’t find the 360 view color option, here you go.

So the IS500 at Willow Grove was slated to be sold for $71k today, but the buyer hasn't actually followed up today. I also called in on another IS500 LE locally, and they are asking $78k, which is about $100 per mile on the odometer before the person flipped it.

Pains me to see these poor things rot so close to me, but there is nothing I can do

Is that really a flip though?

THE LEs msrp was ~$68k, after taxes thats more like ~$75k. From the seller’s perspective theres really no profit in the there specially if theres anything added like ppf or ceramic coating. Looks more like they may be trying to recover their “out-the-door” price to pay off the loan.
