From the sound of things it looks like the IS-Fs are all similarly loaded with stickers of $61,000 or so.

My local dealership's GM called me last night and said their first IS-F is on the floor ready to go. I'm headed over there later today to take a look but not buy. I've lost that loving feeling for the IS-F and I think I'm going to go for a Z06 instead. I'd like to be able to buy a GT-R but I think it will be much harder to get one of them this year.

The pics of the IS-F in Matador Red, I believe are from a Lexus employee (Normeezy) from San Diego....

It looks like Bob Baker's Matador Red was listed today on a certain online motor auction website with VIN JTHBP262585000341.

WoW - Just goes to show you how some colors are just NOT moving with the IS-F..

This Matador Red arrived at Bob Baker's on 1/30/08..

As posted by member "Normeezy" on 1/31/08, this Matador Red IS-F is stock# 60151

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...y/_MG_5323.jpg

Which matches the ebay listed stock number..
So basically this IS-F has been sitting there for almost 3 weeks.... Not Sold

It would suck if it fails to sell like the Supra did. As sad as it sounds, new Supras in '98 sat on dealer's showroom floors for 8 - 10 months. Very painful.

As I posted elsewhere, Matador Red was second only to Silver as far as least popular colors in a poll on this forum... so it's not surprising it hasn't sold.

Yes, Yes.... we are very aware of the Poll... where I voted SGM...

Well.. It was surprising to me, since it was one of the 1st ones to hit the So Cal Lexus dealer lot(s)..

If your attaching, then its one per post...
If you load to the gallery, you can then add 10 images per post..

Is this your Black IS-F???
or
Is it just sitting in the Lexus lot next to your GS430?
