This is the problem I had, for FL I could not find a IS350 with ML and I wouldn't buy one without it. It was a special order only, but my dealer snaged one as it was coming into the port so I was lucky. I still don't agree with how Lexus allocates certain options for different regions. Who are they to say FL owners don't want ML and then force you to special order. It's not right.

It's based on sales for that region. All the dealerships look at what's available and what 99% of the people buy, and that's how they order it.

But that is a flawed tautology for if there are no ML in the market, then no ML are sold, hence no ML are ordered.

I was looking on the lexus website. The is250 packages dont have nav/ml. Could it be special ordered or is that not possible?

Look here and you'll see that it's offered. It may not be a standard configured, but it is available to order:

It was ordered, nobody bought it.

Of all the people I talk to about the cars, maybe 1 or 2 out of every 20 really wants the ML.

You need to look at the "Options" page. If it's an option, it can be special ordered.

Still havent found one, unless I special order but I really don't want to wait 3-4 months..

Ok, after talking to a friend in Chicago, he says that if you want NAV on an 09' 350 around there they only sell them WITH ML ONLY...

I confirmed this by going to Lexus.com and typing a chicago zip code... YEP, the only options that come up are NAV + ML or just premium pack, no NAV..

Time to fly out there and make a deal... only a 1700 mile road trip... lol
