My thoughts too, it looks great in sunlight but under clouds almost looks like a darker BMW Laguna Seca Blue. Here’s two I spotted and they both look completely different than the renders.

I have seen so many GW with Caramel IS300s and I genuinely can't fathom who goes to a dealer, sees that spec and says "this is the one. let me drop $40k+ on this beauty"

Love the GW, super fan and they’re obviously part of the #BlueCrew! However, it’s not for me personally. I agree with Macmaster, the hues are better in USB to me.

Tastes certainly vary. I wouldn't go for GW with Caramel, but also wouldn't go for USB with Red. They both seem loudly, mismatched. But, that's just me and like I said, tastes vary.

White on Black (sale pending)

Looks like I may have someone in my area with a 500!

2022 GW with 663 miles in FL is still on the market for over 3 months even after dropping the price from $82K to $72K. According to Carfax, dealer bought it at auction in AL

I really like the IS500 and its 5.0L V8, but $72k for a used one, and I have been keeping an eye on the one you mentioned, that dealership is out of its mind.

Yep and if I remember correctly, this car was originally at Pembroke. I went several rounds with them and they wouldn’t drop the markup to $2500. (They started at $10k and came down to $5k.) So someone bought and flipped it, now it’s held hostage by a…..Mitsubishi…..dealership. 🤮

Poor little ole thing…

They are not selling at $72k. Wait for a private auction. 2 launch editions recently sold on carsandbids for $69k and $63k....both with PPF. LOL!

I agree with you and I did see those.
I just got Molten Pearl for MSRP so I am OK, but anyone looking for a used one I would say be patient and do your homework you will get a good one for fair and good price not this 72k $h!t.
