I know the 6-speed thing isn't right. I'm surprised it somehow got onto the website though. Guess their QC department is short-staffed haha

That doesn't seem right LOL

6-speed auto definitely a brainfart moment -- MSRP matches window sticker, and the $1,885 is LoS' current default total for "accessories" when they list new inventory. On certain models it may be higher or lower on their website. I'm treating it like ADM regardless.

As of last week, Lexus of Bellevue had an unsold Cloudburst on red IS500 available for several weeks, on location.

No problem, I was in the same boat back in Nov. and most dealerships had no clue till they received the cars.

Given Austin Stonelake has only received 4 so far, I'm going to assume they're clueless. Too bad it didn't indicate a cost that we could have removed!

For MSRP deals seek the dealers in the Midwest, PA, and West Virginia.

Look at the inventory I just posted and call them up.

You may have to pay transportation but you paid MSRP. If you need shipping help we have a network transporter we use for cars we broker. Feel free to use him.

It's listed by paint and interior code rather than by actually typing the name out.
Off the top of my head the most I can say is 0223 is Caviar Exterior and 04W7 is Molten Pearl.
