Ultrasonic Blue and Sapphire Pearl rare???
I've been in the market for a 2nd gen IS350 and ISFs for awhile but why is the ISF in these two colors hard to find? The ones I've seen available in my state of Texas for sale are in other colors except those two. Are these rare, no many painted in that color ISFs or something? Those are actually the two colors I'm looking for.

That's weird, on the forums/fb groups I feel like I only ever see USB's being sold. Even the "highly sought" blue with white leather there's always been at least a few for sale, my buddy just sold one in fact. White I definitely agree is rare, that's the only color I wanted when I had to settle for my silver one, and now there's been 2 white ones bought by locals just in the past 2 months. I think the main thing is to simply expand your search radius and years sought after. A pretty cheap 2011 with 75k USB popped up near me two weeks ago for $29k at honda dealer in VA. But it may be sold by now seeing as how everything else similar was $32k+

Stop looking local. Everyone who wants one travels as far as is needed to get them. Regardless of color. The car is rare in every color, because there aren’t many of them. I flew and then drove 1200 miles one way. Other members have driven for multiple days. Consider it a fun weekend trip with your new car.

While I was doing the paperwork, a few of the employees came in and said they got a ton of hits on the car while it was on hold for me. Apparently someone on here had a friend that was looking at it too and I beat them to the punch. Because the production number was so low and they've become pretty affordable now, you'll kind of have to religiously check the car sites for when they pop up. I've seen a few sell before pictures were even posted of the vehicle.
Best of luck on your search!

If you find a reputable dealer with one. Have the salesman take videos or FaceTime you with it and then have it shipped. I would only do that on a non wreck repaired model with extensive service history. History can be looked up on the Lexus website.
its not ideal, but probably the only way you will get one anytime soon without a lot of luck. Fs are affordable, rare, reliable, and stopped depreciating (for the most part), so people are kind of fighting over them right now.
and never post one you found on this forum to ask opinions. Someone else will see your post and buy it.
good luck sir!
