I don't think JM or Longo would even have that kind of inventory.

My fantasy would be to be in a garage surrounded by all these cars at the same time

They sell slowly since most people buy Wranglers or Tacomas for the beach and surfing. The IS500 would need to be a second car unless you never go to the beach or hiking. That's why I have my Jeep, it goes to all the "dirty" places and tight parking spots my IS will never go

. They'll still sell for sure, maybe one a month or so.

I understand the IS500 is a special vehicle and availability is limited. I’ve seen the dealer allocation sheet, but noticed there hasn’t really been any new ones added recently. Has production stopped for 2024?

Also is there a waiting list that I have to be on to purchase the car or can I just show up and purchase inventory on the lot? I’m flexible with color and am hoping to get one priced at or below MSRP. Are there any dealers or salespeople in Southern California that you would recommend working with? Thanks!

just bought 2024 new last week for $2500 under Msrp plus all 3 add on are free.
