But dude..wen I did test drive dat adrienal rush !!! WOW!! I'm speechless..

Jay hall

Yeah I know, posted some pictures I found from Oman, months ago.

IMO it's very late, the 3IS will come in a year or two, and we just got the 2011? lol. I know, the ISF is newer, but still.

F-Sport? Don't trust the dealers. They always reply with "Next year", but don't get your hopes up. I remember when the ISF first released in 2008, I asked will it come in UAE? they said, "yes, next year". lol

Btw, they're selling the IS250 now (no IS350).

I have just been to the Festival City Showroom. They have the 2011 IS250, IS300 and the ISF. I do not understand why they have the IS250 when they are so similarity powered to the IS300.
They are prices as follows:-
IS250 - Base Model - USD 39.455.00 (AED 145,000.00)
IS250 - Full Options - USD 44,100.00 (AED 162,000.00)
IS300 - Base Model - USD 44,100.00 (AED 162,000.00)
IS300 - Mid Level - USD 46,250.00 (AED 170,000.00)
IS300 - Full Options - USD 49,000.00 (AED 180,000.00) - This is really costly!
ISF - Single Colour interior - USD 81,400.00 (AED 299,000.00)
ISF - Two Tone Interior - USD 84,400.00 (AED 310,000.00)

IMO - The ISF is over priced. To make matters worse, it is exactly the US spec. It has heated seats only!! I couldn't get a test drive yet, but booked for one.

Also, they have no idea about the FSport accessories. I would rather get them online and shipped. It would definitely be cheaper.

Jay hall

thnx for the info pal..
IS300 full option is indeed expensive... and abt the F-sport parts well.. do let me know how much it costs you on getting things shipped. i too might get something later on.. dats if it fits my bugdet

but the thing that i badly want is a roof spoiler from bayson R and junak LED that fog light LED thingy.. lol hit me up if u get them..

Lol, I got my loaded 2007 is300 less than the base 2011 is250. At its time.

Well the stealers are absolutely crazy! I cant believe how they can ask for so much more without actually having anything more to offer. A grand cos it is the newer year model is understandable but otherwise its robbery.
