I was just offered a 2023 IS500 Premium in Cloudburst Gray with Black Interior with BBS wheels at Lexus of Palm Beach. I have passed on the vehicle so it is available for whoever wants it. I got this information straight from the inventory manager, not a sales person so she wasn't sure if an ADM would apply. She was going to inquire and let me know. If this car interests you, call and ask for Lorraine Robertson and tell her Antonio with the IS sent you. If she is gone ask for Sebastien and likewise tell him I sent you. They are both amazing to work with. Disclaimer: I stem to make absolutely $0 from this so I apologize in advance if theres an ADM.
As for me, I am waiting to see if they get a Molten Pearl. That's the only spec I'd actually consider.

On Facebook people are reporting that they were offered the car at a 10K ADM. Not sure on the validity of that claim, so take it with a grain of salt. Having said that, even if they are in fact doing a 10K ADM, I'm 100% positive that a shrude negotiator can get them down to MSRP. @giS did it with a launch edition so you can certainly do it with a non-limited Premium. If you want to go to the top of the foodchain, ask to speak with Jason Morgan or Vivian Parks who are the head of the GMs and the GM of the entire dealer respectively.

To continue the Goodwill here, Lexus of Lehigh Valley seems to have 3 IS500's coming in (they list them as 8 Cyl IS); 2 base (Black with Red interior; Grey with Black interior) and one premium (White with Red interior).
Darcars in Greenwich has a premium coming in (Caviar with Red interior) as well.
No idea on pricing at each (Darcars was on the naughty naughty list) so happy shopping!

Oh so they NAUGHTY!
Also, I went back into the spreadsheet. Some of the dealer info seems to have been removed for some reason (can't imagine why!). Is anyone going to try and work the same magic as before for tracking? I don't know who did it before and how they did.

I wouldn't be surprised if somebody from a dealer went in and deleted info...

Used car prices
I recently paid $10K over sticker for a used IS500 with 3K miles on it and considered it a reasonable price. Used IS500s are currently running $70-80K. I waited all last year for a 2022 to come in which didn’t happen because they never showed up in the dealer inventory because the 2 or 3 they got were pre sold. At the time of my purchase, Lexus had not made any announcement about a 2023 model and used IS500s were averaging around $80K. It is no wonder that people are flipping their cars. I am so happy with my IS500. I am an old hot rodder and it’s all about the V8.

Why do those first two dealers seem familiar...

This sheet only shows the changes as "anonymous users", but the ones that were removed were all California dealers (Carlsbad, Escondido, Woodland Hills, Pleasanton, Stevens Creek, San Diego) and they fat fingered at CT dealership. Happened September 5th.
