Default IS-F Blue w/ white interior not to popular huh? -

I own a pair of 06 IS350's and will be giving up one to get into a slightly used IF-F maybe next year
figured I'd let the buzz cool off , and catch one on its way down from that $60K - gettin it with good ol automotive depreciation....I see a few for sale across the country from $52K-$58K with the most miles on one being 16K
..most of them have anywhere from 26mi-7Kmi which is hardly used

anyways - I wanted a blue but with the white int.,,, I know that is mainly a west coast color combo...but seems like most people went for the black int.

Guess they just figured the white would be a pain to keep clean.

well I guess when the time comes - I'll have my work cut out for me finding one.

if not I'll settle for black int.
but the Blue with white just has flair to it

2-tone AW is rare and would look great on a blue ISF.

Since ISF wasn't mass produced, a close to your liking may not easy to find. If you search hard, a brand new 08 can be had for low $50Ks.

I'll say this like I do everywhere else. "IF" anyone wants to ever sell their seats, I got money now, no hesitations! I know it'll be super rare but its worth a shot.

Good luck with your search It's just a matter of time before you find what your looking for. The white interior is a very exclusive interior color for the F

Yea, the blue with the white is the rarest interior combo, and supposedly they stopped producing the Blue/white interior except for Special Order (according to Flipside i think?). I'll tell you from experience that the interior isn't as hard to keep clean as it looks. And I've had mine since the first week the IS-F came out.

I got the first Blue/White Interior IS-F in the US..so they were even harder to come by back then. But I also paid full MSRP back then too..but dont regret it

Definitely go with the white if you can find one! It looks really good IMO.

If anyone in Canada is looking there's one sitting on the showroom floor at Lexus of Edmonton. SGM, fully loaded with the white seats.

Good luck.

Out the few IS-F's built, Blue / White was built in minuscule amounts.

In my case, the dealer wanted significantly more more for the Alpine White interior (less discount) than for the Black interior.
