Your rims are not 350's rims.. they're 2009-2010's 2IS rims. Meaning both the 250's and the 350's has them for those year as stock 18's.

there are no isf 250 fyi.. and your car is 100% not an ISF. it might either be is250 or is350 with isf/fsport modifications which could be easily purchased and swapped especially the interior.

US does have more variety and special ordering options. Canada at one point had special ordering but no longer do it since customers don't realy do it plus the price of doing it.

Since I do have a USB IS2011 F-Sport (US), the features on Canada's F-Sport Package has extra features which would cost more (not a bad thing, I do like what Canada has too if one wants the features in as well). This would be, front windshield deicer (the element lines on the rear, are on the front where the wipers sit) , reverse auto tilting exterior mirrors, rain sensing wipers, power tilt & telescopic steering wheel and LED Clearance lamps (I have no idea what this is!!).
----------------------------------

Lexus Canada does have a Sports Package but I believe it is actually for the manual, looking at the price sheet.

It has Sport Turned suspension, 18" aluminum alloy wheels and aluminum sport pedals.

There are way bigger differences than just the motor. I suggest researching before buying next time.

Not positive about Canada, but in the US there are these models:
Lexus IS250 2.5L V6
Lexus IS350 3.5L V6
Lexus IS-F V8

Then there are
Lexus IS250 F-Sport Package
Lexus IS350 F-Sport Package

The F-Sport package adds, F-Sport Front "Lip", F-Sport Grill and Surround, F-Sport Seats, F-Sport Badge on the Steering Wheel, Silver Center Console "stuff", Silver Lexus Door Sils, F Sport Wheels, Rear Spiler, F Sport Badges on Fenders, Sport Package Suspension (NOT F Sport Suspension) and some other little stuff I may be leaving off.

The actual Lexus IS-F has a lot of differences and is about $20,000 more USD.
Has a different front bumper and rear bumper, fenders, engine, suspension, wheels, different F badging throughout, different exhaust outlets etc.

However after searching on google I did find this about a 2010 Lexus IS F-Sport for Europe, Japan and Canada.

"Lexus IS 250 F-Sport and IS 350 F-Sport for Canada"

Quite surprisingly, our neighbours in the Great White North also get their own version of the F-Sport Package. In stark contrast to Europe and Japan, no photos have been released, but pricing and a fully detailed equipment list have. As is the case in Europe, the IS 250 F-Sport is only available with an automatic transmision. In fact, the F-Sport Package heralds the elimination of both the Sport Package and the X-Package from Canadian option lists for 2010 (more on that in an upcoming my.IS Front Page story). There's no need to mourn, however (unless you had your eye on an IS 250 Manual which, for 2010 offers no sport-oriented factory package), since the 2010 F-Sport Package simply adds the IS F-textured grille, rear spoiler, steering wheel and black leather front seats to the full contents of the 2009 Sport Package at no increase in price versus last year's package price. We're talking a Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price of $9850 Canadian for the IS 250 F-Sport Package and $6100 Canadian for the IS 350 F-Sport Package.

Unfortunately, the already-reduced colour palette for the Canadian market Lexus IS V6 sedans further dwindles on the F-Sport Package to Starfire Pearl, Smoky Granite Mica, Tungsten Pearl, Obsidian and Matador Red Mica. (In other words, the same exterior colour choices as the Japanese Domestic Market "version F" minus Ultrasonic Blue Mica).

Here is the full link: (it's on the "other site" but is very helpful to your situation!)

http://my.is/forums/f41/lexus-f-spor...canada-398441/

Sounds like your F-Sport package does, it's just not as "cool" as our US version lol.

Yes, there are some major differences between the F and 250/350, the most obvious would be the exhaust. Plus, your car is F sport, its completely different from the ISF. You have F sport parts. Not ISF parts.

Other then that, I do feel 40k is crazy steep for a used car even if its 2010, it has 20+k miles on it. The first 5000 milesusualy depriciates it by 5 grand.so I believe anything over 32~35k would be over paying.

Hey there:
How can you believe this guy. That car is a regular is 250 with just add on parts. The suspention is not f sport as the car looks like factory height still. There is no special edition F-Sport car in 2010. The add is misleading and you paid way too much for that car.
Also the prices you are quoting are retail price. But you can buy thos things for a lot less in sewll.com if you register.
The only thing i see that the car has outside is a the F-Sport center grille. Maybe the rims from a 350 but I have seen thse in the 250 also.
Since you did not put any pictuers of the back of the car and the interior seems to me you are not giving us the entire story.
I cant believe people spent time on this thread....
