I have a USB and the paint is gorgeous. Doesn't show that much dirt until you are right on top of it, and it is pretty easy to clean. As far as scratches, I luckily don't have any yet (knock on wood), but it does show some minor swirl marks under fluorescent lighting.

Sounds about like my GFM, I can only see the swirl marks (made by the dealer BEFORE I bought it ) when it is under certain lighting. It is the paint that I have been most worried about. Thanks!

Got mines in october i love everything about it 10k miles and 3m all over the front end since the jump so im good to go! the only 2 options i DIDNT get were the brembos and ML ... DONT NEED IT everything is awesome with the car i like the stiffer suspension if you want an above average sport sedan this is what you want ...
if the noise bothers you, ride is too stiff and the interior is too tight, dont buy an F sport buy a buick or lincoln

I love my F sport had it since April but keep in mind that you will lose the memory seats, auto-tilt/dimmer side mirrors, power tilt/tele steering wheel... (My dealer told me this is an upgraded IS, didn't realized I lose all these cool options after I got home)

I leased my 2011 IS 350 F Sport in Dec 2010. Purchase or lease? It was my decision and never an issue with the dealer. My F Sport came with the F Sport springs, shocks, sway bars, cross member brace, and exhaust. Considerably rougher ride and noise level than the IS 350 that I drove in comparison. Being the right model (IS 350), first choice exterior and interior colors, right combination of options, plus the mystique of the F Sport package with added suspension parts and beautiful exhaust, I couldn't resist. Not the basic IS most sixty year olds would choose. Not trying to be "cool", I already was. Stiffer ride and noisier exhaust, you'll quickly adjust unless you're already dead.

Okay I have been getting the runaround about when they are actually getting this car and was finally told they would have it this afternoon and they sent a sheet listing the vin and options (which match what I want.)
When I got my current car they emailed me an information sheet that included build date, the ship it came in on and whether there was any damage upon arrival at the port. Do you think I should ask for this?
I am concerned that they could not give me a date that they would receive the car and kept telling me "it should be today." I know I am paranoid but I really want to know I am getting a perfect car and that there isn't anything shady going on.
