One thing I've noticed; EVERY allocation has the black wheel package on it. While I love the look, I personally don't think the extra $2k is worth it over the smoked stock wheels

Was looking around dealers in CA, only two IS 500s have the black Enkei wheels so far: Lexus Santa Monica and Temecula Valley Lexus

I agree, but if it makes you feel better, you're getting the blackened chrome window trim at no extra cost. Those parts are $4000 a la carte! It was also supposed to be included on the IS350 F Sport but when Morizo saw the value on the balance sheet, he decided to hoard them all to himself!

Yes LOL I called Monday as I'm in the market for one. $25K at Lexus of Westminster; TV Lexus mentioned no mark up, but there are about $12K of dealer accessories (Vossen wheels & tires, Paint & Fabric protection, dent repair, wheel & windshield repair).

TY for sharing. I contacted Lexus of Westminster also and told them I can pay $2K markup. haha. Far away from their $25k asking.

Danggggggg, according to my pal David Chang, markup at Westminster was only $10k when I inquired on Jan 12 2022.





For inspo, this was the same day I found out about the car I would eventually buy, I think just minutes before. Your IS500 life can be changed in an instant. Don’t despair.

The right deal will come along! I've been shopping for a C6Z or ZR1 and the prices are slowly coming back down to reality. The IS 500 will follow.

Gentlemen (and ladies?),

It has been an honor (and honour to the folks up north). My journey has been wild; full of lots of crappy dealer experiences, markups, false hopes, lies, and frustration. At points, I felt like I would never be able to get this car. And now, I can finally say that it's all come to an end. I appreciate all of you putting up with all my nonsense, providing plenty of knowledge and conversation, and most of all: hope.




Soon.... #2023BLUE (at MSRP)
