ISF250 lol... 40k for a used IS 250 is ridiculous. You can get a fully loaded 1 year old IS350 for that price. Or maybe even a high mileage IS-F.

FYI this is what an IS-F looks like:

Note the different Front bumper


Quad exhaust


Fender Vents


Plus the IS-F is a V8 which goes 0-60 in like 4 seconds. Your IS250 takes 8 seconds.

Apparently its not different from the ISF250. Here is the pix of my car.
That isn't F-Sport Package because the term is used for the 2011+ cars which is different than X-Package or Sports Package for vehicles 2006-2010. Notice your car does not have the "F Sport" emblem on the sides.

Yours is the X-Package/Sports Package.

This is my 2011 IS250 with F-Sport Package.

if you have F-sport "accessories" on the 2IS, that doesnt make it a "2IS F-sport package"!

Seems confusing because I don't recall seeing that at the Canadian dealerships when I saw it. Must of overlooked because I have seen it as "Sport Package"

Just to show you exactly what I mean, this is a 2007 IS350 from Open Road Lexus Richmond, which I do visit from time to time.

Took me a bit of time to find it but I did find what you're referring to.

the 2007 IS 350 F-sport packg is a bit different tho. no F emblem on the steering wheel...missing a rear spoiler. on other hand, the 2011 IS 250 fsport packg got emblems on the sides of the car. guess they simply add stuff every year)

Not in the US... the F-sport package in the US is missing quite a few options that 2007 Sport package car has on it (memory seats, power tilt/tele steering, auto dim side mirrors, rain-sensing wipers, vented seats, etc)

2011 removed quite a few features and options that were available on previous years (the fuller Sport package, plus passenger memory seat, AFS, PCS, etc)

That's because the F Sport package is for us hardcore racers here in the US. They took all that stuff out so we could have weight savings lol! Ha I would like to be able to have those options on the F Sport though!

Hey Guys, I have looked over the photos here is my findings.
He has a regular is 250 model.
They previous owner added:
isf seats, isf steering wheel, isf rear spoiler.
The rest of the car is just a regular is 250 plain and simple. The brakes are from a regular is 250, wheels are from an IS either 350 or 250 and that is it.
