I'm going to a Lexus dealership to make a deposit on a Starfire Pearl Special Edition... I've never bought a car brand new!! I'm hoping that they'll maybe offer some type of discount off MSRP
We'll see. I'm still debating whether to wait for a Nebula because i just LOVE that color but I also love Starfire Pearl!!! IMO I feel like the liquid silver finish matches too much with the Trident whereas the Starfire Pearl compliments it more... either way it still looks very nice.
Another question: Does it come with premium audio and nav package? I noticed that it has a "· " instead of a "o" in your list of options. Does this mean those are optional as well?

Good luck getting them to deal on a SE ......Like pulling a chickens teeth I'm afraid.Let us know funnier things have happened...like they haven't sold any yet or end of month or quarter....or you can talk a girls underwear off.
My dealer when I was there had two CT's she told me they are sold as fast as they get them. They just got a black one in when I was there and three people including me test drove it that same day....I actually waited while they got back.
It sold the next day.
I'm not sure all dealers move cars like this place but lots do. As for options they are loaded. They don't have every option , but enough to warrant 7000.00. +

Yes just so everyone knows, the F-Sport's rear spoiler is exactly 1.5" longer than the regular. I have a comparison photo of each on my iPhone but still haven't had a chance to upload it yet.

Darienlim,
Congrats on your new CT F Sport SE btw.
I finally got some clarification on the LED headlamp option for the SE package. It all depends on how your region ordered it. Those who are fortunate to be here in the Western Region will get the LED headlamps packaged with their CT F Sport SE. For those in the Central and Southern regions, it will be halogen headlamps only. So if you really want LED headlamps for your CT F-Sport SE, find a dealership here in the Western Region or here in CA if you really want it.

Oh well, can't do a thing about it now. 36 more months later and we'll see if I decided to get another CT.. or something else in the future. That's why I rather lease than finance.

Thanks man. I think it looks more complete than halogen light. If there wasn't the LED DRL, I probably will just leave it alone. But to have a halogen right below of the DRL, IMO it just looked awkward. No pun intended to others.
#42
What region is the NE.... my car doesn't have LEDS listed either. Seems it would be on invoices. All other options are listed. I find that hard to understand why an expensive option goes to certain area's. The cars price must change......
My car has remote start hence me asking. I cannot understand how the electric motors warm up the car? It gets COLD here in the winter months. I understand gas powered engines perfectly well, they start , car warms up, but electric?........
I'm just curious as to how it works. Anyone?

Found this under LED option so it looks like you would have had to special order the car to get them. Unless your region has them, your dealer should know that.
Prices for options/accessories/packages are Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) as of posting date. Actual dealer prices may vary. Installation fee required on select accessories. Lexus strives to build vehicles to match customer interest, and thus they are typically built with popular options and option packages. Not all options/accessories/packages are available separately and some may not be available in all regions of the country. See lexus.com for information about options/accessories/packages commonly available in your area. If you would prefer a vehicle without any or with different options, contact your dealer to check for current availability or the possibility of placing a special order. Not all available accessories are shown.

About the LED, I know it's special order. But I thought all SE is listed as $38870 according to the website. And only 900 of these will be made and sold, that's why it's called SE! What bothers me the most is if the Western region will be get the LED light package included and with the same MSRP price like me (other region), then I would have an issue with it!
Having said that, I'm still VERY happy with my purchase and I love this car!

Seriously? That's messed up!!! Don't tell me the MSRP of the SE is the same with and without the LED headlamps! Damn, now I am mad! I really wouldn't mind to opt for the $1200 upgrade if it was offered to me!

All you need are a set of aftermarket HID's and you're set. Nebula gray looks awesome on the CT F-Sport.
Here is a pic of the Starfire with a Tungsten that Longo brought out at our meet last Sunday:
Here's another with the CT's bigger powerful brother, LFA:
