Default IS-F with Polish/Gunmetal Rim Available on Guam

Wow!!! Just test drove a Silver/Black IS-F today. Guess we are lucky that all the IS-F coming to Guam will have the Polish/Gunmetal rims as standard unlike the all full gunmetal the stateside gets. I had ordered this silver/black last year but dealer told me the bad news that these first shipment (1-Blue and 1-Silver) will be used for demo purpose and upcoming Lexus event on Guam in March where customers will be invited to test drive at the drag strip and track with a visiting professional driver.

Now I have to wait another 2 to 3 weeks more to get my IS-F. Great timing because I found out from my credit union that the interest rate is going to drop by 1 to 1.25% in March.

No the interest rate is not 1 to 1.25%. I meant it is estimated to be reduced by that much. Right now our rate is 4.99% with last months drop of the federal prime rate I would guess it would be by 3.99% to 3.74% next month (I hope). The credit union can not tell me what the final rate would be but it is known that March 1st will have a new rate.

Yup. No sales tax here but there is a 4% GRT (Gross Receipt Tax) that the vendor must pay therefore the price you pay already have the 4% included.

I can't wait to get my IS-F in three weeks. Being a valued customer I was able to get it under MSRP. Sorry can't disclose the price but I can say it is a few thousand below MSRP.

Yes true only for US market. The two IS-F all had Polished/Gunmetal wheels. Although we are part of US Territory we get a slightly different options. The current retail selling price is a little over $58K with options of ML Audio w/o NAV, Sun Roof, Headlight washer and Polished/Gunmetal Wheels with Michelin PS2. I wanted the white wood and folding mirrors but it is currently not available for our area. Dealer is trying to get more info on the white wood option. But pretty much the IS-F is the same for US market.

The polished/gunmetal wheels look real good in the sunlight. Didn't have a camera during my test drive. I recall reading the sales manual and it states the wheel is polished by people and not automated machine.
