i had an allocation here for the UE, MSRP except they said $7,000 of add ons non-negotiable. I told them cya later. Not paying all that when I have a 2024 500 already.

 

MSRP + add-on = markup no matter how you slice it! I will never fall for that crap, unless of course these are add-ons I was going to get in the first place

 

exactly. Typical for Bellevue WA. 1.5m median home price, bunch of useless adds ons besides PPF but nobody wants partial unwrapped edges PPF on a sports car

 

Update:

I received a call from my dealership that the Ultimate Edition is coming to Canadian shores on the last week of October or first week of November.

According to them, Lexus Canada mentioned that less than 10 units are arriving in the country.

Does that mean that only 10 out of 40 have been allocated here? Or did only 10 people place an order for the final model? I guess we'll find out soon.

Congratulations to those who snagged them and good luck to the ones are hoping to see one in their local dealership.

 

Oh so YOU'RE why Bellevue has one listed now!

Yeah my experience with the Lexus dealerships in WA has been... pretty not great on the sales end.

 

I doubt that Canada will only be allocated 10 units when they announced our market would get 40 - Time will tell but I am sure my dealer will be letting me know soon.

 

I recieved word today that I got my allocation for the Ultimate Edition. Should be coming in late November or early December.

 

That's awesome. Congrats on your score!

Hahaha you almost tricked me.

 

I just realized that they still haven’t given us a IS500 illuminated trunk sill.

 

Dealer called me to say he is getting their allocation in about 1 month and will let me know when it arrive so I can go see it and discuss numbers (trade value and what MSRP will be here and what kind of discount he'll do)

 

Got my VIN, but will have to visit the dealership to finalize the numbers. I don’t know the Canadian MSRP yet, but it is expected to make a landfall by the end of October.

In other news, the LS 500 makes its exit known with the Heritage Edition. That is a beautiful car.

 

I've been informed by my local dealership in Charleston, SC that the only allocated UE IS500, which I reserved, will be arriving around the first week in November.
I was provided a VIN number and price.The base price includes Lexus factory processing and handling fee ($1,295.00), which is $71,495.00. When you add in the port & dealer installed options: all weather floor mats, cargo net, nitrogen, tinted glass & door edge guards, to include $1,354.00 in dealership added fluff service charges, total comes to $74,305.00.
I'll plan to sell my current 2023 IS500 Premium - Atomic Silver with Circuit Red NuLuxe interior this month. Vehicle is in showroom condition with 8790 miles - garage kept and gently driven by a 70 year old guy, which is clearly evident by the photos posted.
Its my understanding that most, if not all new 2025 IS500's, including the Ultimate Edition have already been reserved, leaving preowned vehicles as the only purchase option.
Based on the limited availability, the mint condition of my vehicle and its low mileage, what do you guys believe would be an appropriate retail selling price for it?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated, to include offers if interested...

 

What did kbb give you price wise?
