I passed on the F-Sport. I'm now looking at a 2015 (non F-Sport) 350 with 45k miles. It is loaded with all options including lux package, intuitive parking assist, and dynamic cruise control. It is not CPO and not from a Lexus dealer. But is 1-owner and extremely clean. Price is $32k OTD. Again, this includes a negative $3k trade difference from my Accord. The accord isn't worth more.

I've been going back and forth with them for a few days. They started at $34k and I started at $29k. They're not budging on the $32k.

What do you guys think?

Yep ~ grab this one asap because: a) it sounds good, and b) they won't budge any more on the price.

TBH sometimes wish I got a non-FSport. The many creature comforts are sometimes worth more than FSport.

That's part of the reason I'm no longer looking at F Sports. I had no idea they didn't come with the options of the luxury package. Plus I have no intention of modding whatever car I get now since I will be modding the **** out of the next IS-F I get. So it's better that I get a more "luxury" daily driver.

Performance aspects of FSport are fun ONLY if you have the luxury of open, winding, highways.

Highways are not fun usually. Sport+ mode is best enjoyed on a winding canyon road. However, the benefit of AVS over the regular suspension is noticeable and worth it in almost all situations. I find the IS is a poor luxury sedan as the driver sits in a tight cockpit like interior. It's a great sports sedan though and the F Sport accentuates the real purpose of the car and it ain't luxury.

Ended up going with the 15 non F Sport for $32k OTD. Has all options other than ML, which I don't really care about. Their asking was 27,995, plus -3k trade difference from my Accord, so not a bad deal I think. Much better price than any other within 100 miles of me.

I was going to tell you that seemed a little high. I bought a 2014 with 35K for 28.5K, came with brand new Continental DSW's and new grill (the old one had a small crack). ENJOY!!!!

It's a 2015, not 14. And was it loaded?

And was 28.5k after taxes and all fees?

Yes...fully loaded with everything. With taxes it would have been an additional $2k, but a large down payment and trade in, it dropped significantly. A 2015 would be much more....so you done good or at least average. ENJOY!

Yeah mine was $32k after all tax, title, fees, and a negative $3k from my Accord trade was added back in. The price of the actual car was under $27k.
