A lot of people do seem to want that car (IS250AWD). It goes like free beer here in the D.C. area.

2. I rarely can ever recommend a car on the way out when a new model will be here in 3 months.

New models, though, sometimes have teething problems in the first year, though reliability is usually not a major Lexus fault, especially in the IS line. The only sub-par Lexus models in reliability (according to Consumer Reports) were some of the GS300AWD models.

I also realize that I myself took somewhat of a chance buying a first-year model, though its basic components had already been already been produced in Europe and/or other GM divisions.
