.Pre-Collision or Parking Sensors is also a special built request for an IS. I also have seen on several occasions, a few IS's on the road with parking sensors when I drive around.
If one wants to put another feature for special built, put the dynamic radar cruise control in there too which is normally one of the options which is on the LS!

Yep, ML is rare for the IS 250/350 except the IS-F.

(Kinda like HIDs and AFS, you can't get one without the other)
None of the above applies to 2011 models of course since they dropped the entire PCS system as well as AFS for 2011.

Ferdinan, Mine is a 2009 with 18k miles when I bought it four months ago. Found out mine were freeway miles mostly. What color is it? Can you post more pics? Are we going to be twins? 
Micaiah, I am afraid we won't be twins.
The car is Tungsten Pearl/Black Leather. I had to cancel my test drive today because of <insert rant here> work. Got a call last night to report today.
The good news is I found three other IS 350s last night. I guess one of them is your exact same color but don't know about options. They all are in pristine condition as well and they all appear to have the ML system.

Keep your eyes pealed to make sure it does have ML. Also the vehicles with ML, the speakers are different than the one without ML therefore the panels of the interior are different so they fit the speakers for ML.

Well, I finally decided to and long story short, I almost got into an accident, going pretty fast. And because I made sudden changes (slammed on brakes, turned hard) the thing went into action. Lights started to flash, and the car started to beep. Things happened so fast, I couldn't see what on the dash lit up.
You know how when you put your brakes on hard and your body moves forward....your seat belts lock up? Well this is different. It ZIPS up into the retractable thingy. The seat belts go back into the thingy, hesitates and goes back even more. Not tight, but snug. It's like arms suddenly hold you tight. Then after the car is settled, it unzips loose, waits and unzips again to normal tension. I wasn't scared until after I realized what the car had done. Then I saw that I could have really been hurt.
From then on I was a believer in this. It's really too bad that they discontinued this feature because there was no interest in it and was rather on the pricey side. But to me, there is no price on saving my life or the life of my loved ones.
So much that right now, there is an ISF that I saw at the dealership that I know is possible for me. But because it didn't have dynamic cruise, or pre collision, that was a deal breaker. I'm keeping Micaiah.
The sad thing is, it's really too bad that they discontinued this feature because there was no interest in it and was rather on the pricey side. But to me, there is no price on saving my life or the life of my loved ones.

Guys, I just wanted to say thanks to all the members who gave me some input and feedback regarding the IS350. I guess things happen for a reason, I canceled my test drive on a pre-owned Lexus a couple of weeks ago, but I am going home tonight with a new '10 IS350. It's got the options I wanted, the Luxury Package and the ML sound system. 
Micaiah, I don't think our cars will be twins, my car is a Starfire Pearl with Black interior.
The dealer experience was great; from the sales person to the finance manager. The offer I got was great, yes, it is a few thousand dollars more but it doesn't have 20k miles
I am picking the car tonight. I left it at the dealer last night so they can detail it this morning; not that it will matter since it's been raining for the last couple of days. Pics are next but I want to get the windows tinted first. Planning on a photo-shoot with the IS and my C63.
