Default I think my dealer shortchanged me... (Canadian IS-F)

Was just browsing the archives and seeing what everybody got and I think I got shortchanged by my dealer...

1. I didn't get any pouches for my keys (the blue stitched leather one with the F logo embossed) which I think most of you got.

2. My front floormats just says "Lexus" on them, they don't say "IS-F". So I think I got the regular IS mats. Not that it matters that much because I changed them to molded Weathertechs anyway, but still...

I asked the dealer and they said it was just how it came. I don't know if it's just a Canadian thing or what but just wanted to vent... grrr...

I know when I picked up mine I had the F floor mats, weather floor mats, key pouches, and a gift basket (Wine and other goodies). Sound like you have a cheap dealer up there.

definitely looks like they jipped you, the F pouches for your keys should have been with part of the car, as well as IS-F mats, but the all weather floor mats i purchased separately, so you should maybe ask them...be like everyone else has F pouches and floor mats wheres mine, i bet someone at the dealership saw it switched it with their IS stuff...

Just in case it's different for us Canadians, I gotta ask you, did you get the "IS-F" stitched carpeted floor mats as well?

Those items are only applicable for U.S. cars. The Canadian spec. car is different and does not include these.

I got wine and gift basket when I bought my GS300 but they stopped doing that. A friend of mine bought a ES350 from there and all he got was a coffee mug.

Yeah but Canada has the Lexus IS F Neiman Marcus wheels and not sure what else, that could be the only thing.

Really?? No Canadian IS-F has those? Damn that sucks!
hmm, maybe I shouldn't have bi+ched at my salesman so much yesterday... lol

Is the pouch something I can buy at a US dealer then?

Or does someone here have a spare pouch they are willing to let go?

If only they show the other angles of the pouch, but the pricing for it is .

Saw that. It's nice, but certainly not $140 nice. Especially not if you already have the US one.

Looks like this calls for a trip down to the ol' US of A... pouch trip! lol
