i personally take the yellow. if the yellow came with the white interior, thats a no brainer.
The blue is nice, but there are A LOT of blue cars out there (says the guy who's currently wrapping his LC blue).
Any way you look at it, your choice depends on your personal preferences. However, Lexus on average, charged a minimum $4k premium for the Structural Blue paint.
They have yet to make any interior that competes with the Bespoke(white/orange/blue) that complemented the 'OG LC' of 2018. Some would prefer the yellow, because it is rumored to be a much easier repair.
Hard to put a dollar figure on it but you have to figure that due to a lower number available, they are sought after and don't last long. so that will result in premiums. Don't forget that IS also come with every option (I believe) like CF roof and performance package. Also realize that dealers probably did not ever discount the IS LCs. You will have to decide how much it is worth to you to have a special LC color and equipment package vs the pedestrian colors. When I saw the yellow in person I was sold and had to have it. I have not seen a blue in person though.
Structural Blue is the ‘OG’ Inspiration Series. It is the only flavor that is issued strictly as an IS. That fact in itself makes it the most exclusive color.
In my 4 plus years of owning this color, I have never seen its twin in the wild.

Yeah, but I think with the yellow you at least get the exclusive yellow and white interior.
So I went and test drive the vehicle. Tbh, I felt underwhelming of the structural blue in person. It was priced at $83K for a 42K miles, L/CPO from Lexus. Is that a good deal? It was a lease so I could tell it wasn't taken good care with some stains & scratches in the interior that even Lexus could not get rid off. The smell wasn't good either, obviously was used by someone that didn't care about hygiene.
I'm still debating, but I agreed about yellow/white interior. I love that combo. Orange/blue is also ok, again not my cup of tea. I know it's the OG LC but...
Spent about 10k more than what I had budgeted for my purchase, but looking back I'm glad I went for the inspiration series 😊
Love It!!! Can you share interior pics? Did you ever crossed-shop structural blue? I saw it and it was alright, blue/orange/white wasn't as nice as yellow/white interior either IMO lol.
Thanks! Love structural blue but don't love the orange, so it was not one of the choices I considered.

I love this color combination, that yellow and white interior is my all time favorite. If i had that option on the vert, i woudlnt even bother wrapping it.
