Using Autotrader within 25 miles of 92683:
IS250 - 215
IS350 - 32

Pretty big gap there.

Earlier today, I sent an email inquiry to the Lexus product department to see if any figures could be provided on the total independent sales of the IS250 vs the IS350 in the United States since 2005 (since all sales figures published by Lexus have so far been a cumulative total for the ISx50s) . If Lexus does indeed provide me some type of data, I'll be sure to post it here.

I honestly can't remember the last time I saw a 350, although I do know someone that has an 07. I looked up Autotrader and there are 23 350s and 154 250s within 25 miles of 75034.

I had to fly into NJ to get my 350. There was nothing worth looking at in the South, not to mention the selection sucked. Oh, not to mention they want top-dollar for them here.

I've seen more ISF's than 350's ... I am so happy I ordered a RWD 350

SEARCHED AUTOTRADER AS WELL TO GET AN IDEA AND THIS IS WHAT I GOT FOR ANY YEAR, ANY PRICE ANY MODEL OF THESE 3 CHOICES:

LI, NY 11769

IS250 - 50
IS350 - 5
ISF - 2
