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....

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).

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

Indirectly yes - just order fronts.

Yes, it's very similar. The Canada car has a subset of luxury package included, which could be mimicked on a US car by special ordered I believe. I don't think the US car could be able to get the front windshield deicer or LED clearance lamps thou.

It's why I'm not a fan of the F-sport package replacing the sport package- because the sport package had the same suspension but also a lot more functional content.

Read the thread carefully. I did not buy it, I am leasing it. secondly, I started to question the car because people kept saying it was not an ISF. When i bought it the guy told me that it was an IS 250 F-sport package. I figured it was the same as ISF (my bad in this case) but it does not change the fact that it is an F-sport package. 40 K is a rough number which im not gonna pay bcoz iam gonna give it back to them after 3 yrs term. i am paying almost no interest for the car. anyway, i figured it out) iam glad that i know the difference now. I am big BMW fan but got a lexus just to see the difference. look at the variety, so to speak). next time im def. gonna buy a BMW even though I like lexus 
good cars! )

Lol. There is no such thing as an ISF 250, it is IS250, IS350 or ISF. The IS250/350 can have a package called the F-Sport package. This is just a sport package from their sports equipment line.
