When I bought my 2011 IS250 F-sport 2 days the salesman told me Lexus only made 500 of them, an that for 2012 there would be another 500, he also told me that due to their limited production the car will hold its value since they will be rare.....i seen 2 today and they were both Tungsten Pearl, are they really that limited or am I just that lucky to see 2 of them in 1 day. lol

I have no idea I just hope not that many lol my last car was a dime a dozen ... so far I have no yet seen ANY f sports 250 or 350 ... I dont even see any non f sports around here, AWESOME FOR ME!!!!

I doubt they are only making 500 per year. My local dealer had five in stock last month and another I checked out had four. I don't think that would be the case if there were only 500 to go around. Plus I've seen several on the road. Maybe he was confusing it with the newly announced IS350C sport. There will only be 500 of those. Or, your salesman is just doing typical salesman BS to ensure a sale.

I dont know about rare or limited. But unless it a 6-7 figure price range it not gonna be a sought after car even if 500 are made.So value aint gonna hold that much compared to a regular 250. Too most of us 250 a 250 Fsport or not.

Around 8 members have the 2011 F-Sport here, all 8 of them makes me jealous.

I'm not sure if it's limited to 500 but the pretty big Lexus dealer here didn't even have any F-Sports. The sales guy who worked there for over 15 years looked at me crazy when I asked if they had any F-Sport packaged cars and had to ask his manager....

according to the other thread on the IS350C F-Sport, it says there will only be 175, so i don't think the salesman was confusing with that either. Not sure where the 500 number came from, or if that's legit at all.

What are the real differences to an x package plus wheels, grille and decals on the fender? If there really isnt one then these can be pretty much created as needed once the base x packages are imported...I could be wrong though

I have found most salesmen to be full of crap. I usually know more about the cars than they do. I had one try to tell me that an F sport that I was sitting in had ventilated seats...um NO and that they no longer made glacier frost when we were standing right in front of one! Same salesman was bragging about the options and said the 2011's have AFS. Good grief.

I hope your salesman is wrong, while I would like something exclusive I won't be getting a new car until my lease is expiring in October and the F sport is the only version of the 2011 IS I would buy (just can't get past the stock 18's and the plain front bumper) I am hoping it won't be extremely difficult to find a USB IS350 F sport that I can get somewhat of a deal on.

I will say that there should be fewer of them on the road because there have only been a couple at each dealer I checked. I have yet to see one on the road but I live in hillbillyville.

I agree that most all salesmen know less than we do most of the time. They don't do their research on specific things.

It's pretty hard to find a 350 F-Sport right now. Most F-Sports are 250. I called around and went to several dealership before getting mine. I saw 2 350 (one black and the other gunmetal) and about 15 250s. It was a hard to find a USB.

There was a USB at the first place I went to but I didn't pull the trigger because it was my first day shopping for a car and it sold within the week. Every single dealership in southern california didn't have a USB (and most didn't even know it came in USB)

i guess i got tricked...well im still extremely happy with the car none the less, i was at the KFC drive through yesterday and th kid at the window was like "wow, is that a F" i hate break it down for him, then he was like how much did i pay, i peeled off....j/k i told him the sticker price.

LOL the jealousy is mutual! your car is pretty sweet!

I'd have to agree, I haven't seen any F-Sports besides mine in norcal. I looked into a USB but decided on the SFP because it was more appealing to me. they had to bring my car from nevada for purchase, only 2 SFP when I went to the dealership on the west coast, 1 in Oxnard and 1 in Vegas.
