Save the money you will spend on engine mods and get a 350. MT only in the 250 RWD.

If you want a sleeper, get an IS350 then replace 350 badge with 250.

Gotcha......

Never trust what a dealer tells you. Some are ignorant and some will just give out bad information in order to sell a car. No excuse for either.

instead of getting an is350 just wait and buy a IS-F than rebadge to an IS250.

Isn't there an IS200 sold in some parts of the world? If you are making the ultimate sleeper, I would think that would be even better
