Talking IS F-Sport Package

Hi guys, I'm new here. I was on lexus.com, trying to build a 2011 IS 350 RWD with F-Sport Package that I've read about, but I can't find it anywhere. Is it just me that can't locate it? Was this package limited? I appreciate the help, thanks!

not sure if its something yu can build on their site, i have one and when i bought it a month ago the dealer did tell me they were limited too, i believe they told me only 500 were being made for 2011....i would jus call different dealers to see what thy have, they may also be a slight wait considering whats going on in Japan.

by the way, where in FL are yu located?

I feel like the builder on Lexus.com doesn't always reflect what your dealerships have.

Yeah the builder on Lexus.com seems odd and weird. (They don't explain things well, and a lot of information is flat out wrong. They have the wrong pictures of wheels, they still list AFS with the HID's, among many other errors).

As far as I know only the IS-C F-Sport package is limited (Lexus USA add-ons, not factory like the IS Sedan F-Sport package).

Also on the IS350 RWD in Canada, the F-Sport is the ONLY package you can buy. Doesn't seem like it'd be limited production to me.

not sure if its limited just rare that someone actually buys it this way. yea dude when I ordered mine I couldnt "build" it online, couldnt even test drive one with f sport stuffs. I basically got the first one around here especially with the color I wanted and RWD also, so when the car came in that was the first time I had seen the interior and all the other stuff I ordered. I basically got every option possible except for the Brembo brakes and the Mark Lev sound system. Plus, you basically customize yur own f sport package and take it as far as you want. no regrets, worth the wait!!!

The "build your own" feature online has no basis in reality regarding how you can actually get the car configured.


All it does is show you the couple of ways cars tend to come into the local dealership based on the zip code you enter.


It's not, at all, reflective of what you could order from the factory.

Hi, I'm new here as well and also interested in IS350 with F-Sport package. But I too find Lexus' "Build Your IS" feature utterly useless and confusing. The question I have are:

1. Do ALL IS350s, F-Sport Package or not, come equipped with HID standard?
2. Is it possible to pick one of the three "Package A, B, and C" when you pick F-Sport package? If not, what do you get as standard when you choose F-Sport package?
3. I noticed that none of the three packages had Mark Levinson in it. So how does one actually get ML if he/she wants it? For instance, is it possible to get ML in a IS350 with F-Sport package?
4. What is the going rate of these cars with F-Sport packages? The one I was looking at had only 3000 miles on but the dealer wants 41500 for it. The car had F-Sport Exhaust which, I believe is NOT part of the Sport package. Considering the F-Sport IS350 starts at 41010. That seems a bit stiff even for a only 3000 mile old car? Are there deals to be had on these cars?

TIA

1. Yes, all IS350's have HID.
2. Not familiar enough with the USA options to answer this.
3. I'd assume you need to order it as a standalone option (I think it requires Nav on newer vehicles, on older ones you could get ML without nav).
4. Can't comment on pricing, out of country.

I have a 2011 F-Sport IS350.

I'm not exactly sure about #2 and #3. Two dealerships told me the car only comes in one way with the regular sound system. Unless someone on this forum said they got a 2011 F-sport IS with ML but I haven't heard.

#4: Both dealerships I went to said the MSRP was $44,000+ something. One was willing to take some off but the other one said "no" and wanted MSRP + shipping. I wasn't able to get the best deal since they had to order the car and it's not common to find where I am. It's kind of nice yours come with the exhaust on it but I wonder if they can do better than $41,500.

yeah similar at my dealership for the F-Sport package with Nav. OP, the 41010 start price you mentioned is without Nav.

Most of my local dealers have many Sport Packages in stock. Depends where you live.

I heard California gets priority for F-Sport cars from the the local dealership here since RWDs are common there.

2) Special order if you want all the applicable packages, accessories etc...
3) Same as #2.
Strange for Canada, you can get ML but only in IS350 AWD model with Luxury with Navigation Package... http://www.lexus.ca/lexus/experience...ategory=option It should be for the RWD thou! Canada unfortunately does not do special builds, however they did used to in the past.
