Oh no. Mine has a $49,269 MSRP and after rebates and discounts I was at $44,100.

Just putting this out there,

I've notice that on the new 2017 screen, the resolutions needs to be smaller than what it was in the 2016.

The fonts, icon, pics, all look smaller, and sometimes hard to read.

Anyone notice that?

So they didn't change the resolution?

I got $2,471 off MSRP, so not as good of a deal as say bull34dog's, but car already had dealer tinting added on it. They also gave me exactly $2,000 more on my trade in than other dealers, which was peculiar, maybe it was a rob Peter to pay Paul thing, not sure. If that is the case, all in about $5,071 off MSRP, estimating $600 for the dealer tint. In person, the front end refresh certainly makes the car look more sophisticated and stealthy. No pics or video can pick that up. I'll try to post pics tomorrow to capture what I'm trying to say.

You sure it was tint? Usually, the IS do not have factory tinted. and $600 for a "tint" job?

It better be some high quality film, and tinted all around.

Yeah, they said 20% all around. I'm in WA and usually they don't ever order RWD here, it almost always AWD. So they had to bring it in from AZ and it had 20% from the AZ dealer. There was another one from LA, but was spoken for. The $600 figure is dealer tag for tinting, which I'm guessing is about 30-50% higher than non dealer professional tinting. As it had tinting on it and sitting in some other state, I was a bit worried it might be a showroom car or a tester, but first thing I checked when it came in was the ODO and it had some 34 miles it. Huge relief as I was ready to walk away.

Default New 2017 is200t

Hi all - long time viewer. I bought it 12/11/16 (last night) and I am beyond excited. This is my first personal Lexus but not a first in the family. I have driven mostly Honda & Acura but this is a whole new level.

Looking forward to reading more and chatting with everyone here. I have included a pic of when I picked it up.

The '17 refresh is really starting to grow on me.

Hey sgmlexus! Funny I picked up my Lexus same day and night as you. Was going to share detailed pics tonight, but now have to share the initial one from last night.

Thanks @sgmlexus. I'll post pics later, will try to highlight the refreshes for others interested in that. I am PO with myself on one thing. Car doesn't have park assist distance warning. I was living on that with my BMW. Can't be perfect.

This is my first luxury car aside from my Acura RSX - so I am getting used to the LDA which scared me at first haha.

And as far as I know, F-Sport trims do not get the parking sensor feature. The parking camera is not too bad though with the dynamic guidelines.

Thanks @computerwi. I was in the showroom tonight and sat in 4 different IS's and what you said holds true. The F Sport don't seem to come with Park Assist but the non-F do. Question: do your side mirrors tilt down when you put it in reverse? Mine don't, either that or I dont know how to set it. Is that a separate option?

To activate the tilt set the adjustment to right or left don't keep it in the middle. Btw your refresh is f-ing sexy enjoy it.
