Best deal I have ever heard. Just curious.. Is that dealership a relatively small one with plenty of stock of the new IS?

They are a good average size, but I do think they have more inventory, when I we there, they did sell an IS250 F-Sport. But I think I saw at least 2 more IS.

The dealership only said they won't release those IS with nav. It's a new improved system unique to the
IS for 2014. The problem is nationwide. Until they get the software to correct the problem I'll just have to wait.

That dealer has no clue what they are doing. Id pick a different one. My Nav today sent me an update. Seems to not lag as much now.

What is the software version on the new one? So this would be the second update? I got one update around 7/5 just after taking delivery. This is good that Lexus is updating to fix the lag.

My dealership is in Honolulu.. Servco Lexus. I asked them about the car a couple of times and got
the same answer. The ones on the lot are without nav. Sounds fishy tho since others in California
and Colorado got theirs. I presently have a 2013 Lexus GS and am planning to trade in my older 2005
Lexus ES. for the new IS...... so I am not a bogus buyer.
