New Owner
I talked to the local dealership about the colors. The answer I received is yes, you can special order a vehicle with any package, accessories and color you like. With the special order case, there will be no discount off the car because of the same reason because it will need to be built and shipped directly from the factory (Japan). This will require a minimum down payment (I forgot the amount, 5-7K I think) up front for this.
To OP, congrats on your purchase!!

As far as the car goes its a 2011 IS 250 with the following options:
1. F sport (obvious)
2. Navigation
3. Preferred Accessory Package with rear bumper applique
4. HID's
I'd take some pictures right now but it gets dark by the time I get home and I'm sure all of you know what a stock IS looks like.
The price I negotiated was 36k before taxes. As for modding goes, no plans on it yet as I have a 2010 GTI to mod first
(This will be a secondary car for me and the primary for the wife).

Preferred Accessory Package: Cargo Net, Trunk Mat, Wheel Locks and Rear Bumper Applique.
When I was pricing out this vehicle on truecar.com it gave me 2 options of the accessory package, one with the rear bumper applique and one without.

This is where I am getting confused. Which package(s) did the car come with?

Looks more like a package which truecar's made but it is not Lexus as it just looks like optional accessories I can add on in the accessories section on Lexus.com. The site seems to assume base model car.

The only options on the car is F Sport Package, Navigation Package, HID and Preferred Accessory Package. No Premium or Luxury package.

The accessories (cargo net, trunk mat, wheel locks) didn't come with my F-Sport package. I told them I wanted the 'preferred accessory package'.
So they just handed me the cargo net and trunk mat. And as for the locks, they brought my car back to service to get the locks on the car.
