Long gone are the days you could get an IS500 for 63k (delivery inc).
Yeah, I would hope so. Was hoping to get more info.

But haven't you been saying from the start how the Molten Pearl is ugly and not exclusive?

I inquired on Monday. Before you posted the picture. Not exclusive? No I've repeated said it's exclusive and rare.

I was referring to the Launch Edition. If anything I called the Molten Pearl a great deal over the Launch Edition if you read the rest of the post. I thought that was pretty clear. My whole point was that special editions are a rip off bc they're a bigger profit margin for the company. But that's not the case here because the Molten Pearl w/ BBS wheels is $66k, which is exactly the same price as any other color IS500+BBS wheels.

Did I really need to explain this? Come on Tonio, you're smarter than that!

^It's in the port of long beach. Man that photo's been tossed around a lot. If cars had feelings that car would feel so embarrassed by those photos it would hire a legal team to scrub it from the internet and sue whoever posted it first.

So I was contacted by a dealership about their model for sale, saying they "need" to get rid of it. Tried to explain that folks RIGHTFULLY don't want to pay stupid high markups and they are willing to wait it out.

Keep strong, folks. I'm going to make sure someone gets that damn car at a reasonable price.
