Yeah, don't get me wrong - I know how special it is. But I am going into this one with the mindset that the seller and I are working together - they are not doing me a favor. I think the market for IS 500s has cooled a bit. No more of this "I kNoW wHaT I hAvE!" nonsense.
Yea, dealers have cooled down even in a hot market here in South Florida. Some are still delusional but finding it for MSRP is more doable nowadays then 8-10 months ago. That Infrared . The only color I think I could swap my color for.
I do have some reservations about this car, since I know, like was stated prior, it's not a true sports car. So the dealer will have to convince me that getting to own one of the last naturally-aspirated-V-8 Lexus models in my favorite paint color (Infrared) will be worth it.
I love my infrared, I agree with waiting for a deal you like with the spec you like. Also I'm not convinced they won't have a special final version down the road. They had the launch, the Molten Pearl... Still think a CF package or black edition would be amazing.

And it will be outrageously priced like a Fuji speedway edition.
That would be hot if there was a bespoke interior (beyond the Alcantara in the Launch Edition). I am very curious what 2024 will bring. That said, for me a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. I got a color I'm happy with and I'm not going to lose another year out on driving an IS500 after having missed out in 2022.
If they released a Nori Green version, I'd be tempted to trade in my LE.
I’d trade for a Nori Green IS500 in a heartbeat. Many greens look horrible on cars, but some just make a special car that much more special. Nori Green on the LC is like that, and I get a ton of compliments on my trusty GX’s Desert Sage Metallic.
^^ I really like that rear-end pic. When photographed too close, it can look a bit odd but from this shot, it looks amazing. Do you miss your white just a tiny bit?
Nori Green with a tan interior is a nice combo. LC500 looks pretty good with that setup.
Saw a Nori Green on tan interior LC last summer and I found it to be an absolutely incredible colour combo. I hear you about the sushi . seaweed, greenwashing and all, but the Nori Green on tan interior
is stunning combo. I tell you, if they make an IS in this colour I will have agonizing decision to make. .... AGain !
^^ LMAO - Poor you, already thinking of swapping your not delivered IS 500. I will send a note to Lexus Canada to bring that combo just to torture you a bit (lol)

LOL. I'm convinced this will be an option in the 2024 model year. What can I say.....Lexus makes damn good paint !
I know, I knew in 2022 that when the 2023 came out, they would bring out the sunroof and they did!! They have to drop little goodies to justify the new model year....Oh well, I am keeping my 2022 as it doesn't make sense to spend 7 or 8k just for that. This is my forever car and while it is not spec'd exactly how I would have preferred, I am still lucky to be driving a car that so many people would lust to have but can't even own one....

I feel exactly the same way with mine. Now an IS500 in Copper crest may get my head to spinning. We could have a problem Houston!
