Default 2008 IS250 GFM w/black leather - HELP!!!

I need to know if this color combination is in fact available for this model year. According to the website it is, but now I've had two different dealerships me that they don't make it and then they tried to put me into a different color car. I need to get a straight answer before I go and buy something that isn't my first choice combination. Please help. Thanks.

its and always has been available, the thing is that is a hard combination to find, and the dealer is trying to sell you whatever is on their lot

I know the 250 comes in GFM, but I'm just getting different stories from different dealers as to what interior colors are available. All I want to know is if they are telling me the truth. If not, I think that is a very big deal for someone that is supposed to be selling luxury cars.

I finally did get information from the dealer that it is fact was available, they just don't have anymore and the factory isn't making anymore for 2008.

they are not making any more 08's at all because they are in the process of changing the product line to 09 models

Could also just be that it is a rare color combo in your region. I know if you want that "greenish" color here in the midwest good luck cause i only saw 1 at about 5 different dealers.

*checks garage* Yup, it's available. I have one.

2008 250AWD
GFM/Black

HIDs, AFS, Sunshade, Illuminated Doorsills, Headlight Washers, Heated/Ventilated Seats, Nav.....

I'm pretty sure the only things I didn't get were the parking sensors, DVD, and Mark Levinson. Granted, I don't know what's standard anymore with these people.

I had to wait 2 weeks for it. My dealer located it for me. There were none in NY and CT optioned the way I wanted and 2 in South Jersey. And one sitting in customs at Port Elizabeth. I ended up waiting 2 weeks for that one.
