Unless you are loaded and just don't care about money (good for you if that's the case ) I think the dealer might be about to rip you off.
Yes, we already settled on a price. I work for Toyota Manufacturing so we get a pretty heavy discount, which is non negotiable. I went in to my dealer and told them that I wanted a white F-Sport with black interior and I wanted the F-Sport package, BSM, and the cold weather package. I know for a fact that it has the the F-Sport port and the BSM, but I'm still uncertain if it has the cold weather package included or not since it's AWD.

Seems those options, for premium anyways, were stopped in March of this year. There is a new owners manual dated March with the information updated.

Congrats on the new car
Thanks!

I picked it up today, and couldn't be happier. I still have the heater steering wheel, I'll check the build date when I get home, but from what it looks like the cold weather package was added into the F-Sport package, but didn't include the wiper defroster? Either way I'm still happier than I thought I'd be.

Check your climate control menu for the wiper deicer button

Thanks, I did and didn't see it. The 2013 4GS I had as a loaner all week had it as an option, but I didn't see it on my 2015. Maybe the icon changed?

Can you post picture of the rear. I can tell for a fact it has headlamp washers and heated steering wheel. I don't know about that heated steering wheel but the headlamp washers shouldn't have been invented. Press the button watch what happens your whole hood gets wet and you need dry it asap.

Tire pressure will probably be high.
Have them adjust to correct pressure.

Yeah, I know for a fact that u have the heated steering wheel because I saw the button, I haven't tried it out yet, but I didn't see the grid line for the wipers. I'll try to take a picture of the climate menu to see if anyone can pin point the button

Pressing the Display button on the steering wheel 6 or so times will show the tire pressures on the center display.

Tire pressure can change not 100% accurate and not always the same.

Maybe it turns on automatically when you activate the defroster? Did you check the manual yet?

While it could be an error, the Lexus website still lists it with the cold weather package.

I checked the manual, and it shows what the button is suppose to look like, and where its located, in the climate menu then go to the "..." sub menu and its suppose to be in there, which its not. I did look for grid lines on the windshield and didn't see any. Maybe it falls under the "we can change any package at any time without notice" category.
