The Lexus dealer I bought my is 350 called and said theRep from N.J. was there and had the ISF (BLUE). I got to test drive the car for about 30 minutes. What an automobile. FAst responsive and a blast to drive. The 8 speed converter locks up in 2nd thru 6th (I think), when you down shift it blibs. This car is quick with excellent brakes. in side it looks just like my 350 with a few exceptions,,,ISF badges, little different dash, carbon fiber console. I know we don't talk about excedding the posted speed limits on this forum But...........

 

What part of VA????

 

Really What dealership was it?

 

Charles Barker in Newpot News

 

I was working at Riverside hospital today...I thought about stopping by there but got to busy and missed it.

 

Dude, I'm from that area too.

I was at the dealership last Friday, and didn't see but like 4 IS's, and they were all 250s.

I just can't believe it. (it's not that I don't believe you, I just can't believe that that dealership got an IS-F in, because it's hard enough just to find an IS in our area, let alone a 350. Even the dealership in VA beach keeps a low amount of IS's)

BTW, rnpjstewar, are you the SGM 350 that works at the shipyard??

 

And you were so excited you posted in the wrong forum.

 

I work atthe shipyard (39 years) but that is not my tag.
I have silver 350
The ISF was a dealer demo from NJ I think...had 3500 miles and was at the dealership 2 or 3 hours

 

I don't think I've seen a silver one there before, but I do pass by a smokey granite mica IS350 all the time that's parked on Warwick (that's what I meant by SGM 350...that's not the plate)

Also, I don't know if you are aware, but Bass Pro in Hampton has get togethers on Saturday nights (usually in the summer, but throughout the year too). I usually frequent there. You might want to check it out. It would be nice to have another IS there.

Anyway, sorry to get off-topic, but to me it's awesome to find someone else from our area that's on this forum, since in our area these cars are rare to begin with.

 

Is Charles Barker in Va. Beach going to have the IS-F demo ?

 

^ Judging from your sig, it looks like I have a twin that lives close to me

 

I wish I can afford an IS-F. Is it true that you can shift the gear anytime regardless of what mode it is?

 

Yes they are close. I live on the eastern shore of va but I work at all the hospitals in the tidewater area. I've never seen any modded IS350 but one it was white in va beach.

 

I've hardly ever seen any IS's period

 

I guess that was the same one that was at Lexus of richmond i missed it but they said a rep frm NJ brought one by the dealer.
