Thanks for the research--it confirms how exclusive our cars are. I agree on the '08 numbers because mine was 4822 which was right at the end for that year. Traded it in Houston for my '11 which is 8509 and according to an email from Lexus in Oct 2012, there were 654 brought into the US that year. Of those, 140 were Starfire Pearl and only 31 of those had the white interior. So, white on white is not very common and it draws attention wherever I go.
He can get the final completion date of that build.. Which is more or less the same for the supposed 4828 last build.

went on cars.com and they had an ample supply of VINs, updated distribution is below with the lowest and highest VIN for each year. Numbers barely changed. A lot of the VIN gaps between years are now around 100 or less except for 08/09 which is about 170. So with the gaps narrowing like this the % will hardly change +/- 1% at most.
Year - VIN - %
08 - 194
08 - 4828 - 41.92%
09 - 5008
09 - 6717 - 16.40%
10 - 6819
10 - 7986 - 11.02%
11 - 8098
11 - 9691 - 14.81%
12 - 9785
12 - 10859 - 10.14%
13 - 10902
13 - 11290 - 3.74%
14 - 11394
14 - 11516 - 1.96%

ha, then that is amazing!
but i thought different countries have different vins, maybe this doesn't affect the end digits, but just thought the analysis was based on cars.com and mainly US sites (like autotrader/ebay) but maybe he checked cars for sale on ebay from other countries as well.

The IS F was and had been always a low volume seller... The same will occur for the inbound RC F.
