Congrats on your new role!!

In regards to IS-F colors, as much as I like Ultrasonic Blue, I prefer the more subtle colors, such as white, silver or black.

Congrats!!!
Color choices are purely subjective. What color do you personally like? Get what looks best to your eye.
Buying a used IS shouldn't be too difficult or risky. It's a Lexus afterall. I would expect most have been driven somewhat aggressively, since the car was designed with high performance in mind. Just look for the usual maintenance records, possible repaints, accident history, and careful with a modded unit.

No regrets on Starfire Pearl...always looks clean and fast. Get a Carfax and look at maintenance records. Can't go too wrong by doing this.

Nice promotion
