Long gone are the days you could get an IS500 for 63k (delivery inc).
Yeah, I would hope so. Was hoping to get more info. Originally Posted by macmaster

I inquired about trading mine for this Molten Pearl but was told it was already on hold with deposit.

But haven't you been saying from the start how the Molten Pearl is ugly and not exclusive? Originally Posted by macmaster

I was referring to the Launch Edition. If anything I called the Molten Pearl a great deal over the Launch Edition if you read the rest of the post. I thought that was pretty clear. My whole point was that special editions are a rip off bc they're a bigger profit margin for the company. But that's not the case here because the Molten Pearl w/ BBS wheels is $66k, which is exactly the same price as any other color IS500+BBS wheels. Originally Posted by TipsyTonio

Did I really need to explain this? Come on Tonio, you're smarter than that!

^It's in the port of long beach. Man that photo's been tossed around a lot. If cars had feelings that car would feel so embarrassed by those photos it would hire a legal team to scrub it from the internet and sue whoever posted it first.

So I was contacted by a dealership about their model for sale, saying they "need" to get rid of it. Tried to explain that folks RIGHTFULLY don't want to pay stupid high markups and they are willing to wait it out.
Keep strong, folks. I'm going to make sure someone gets that damn car at a reasonable price.

So $66k for Performance is BS.
do you have a picture of it, not the one that's been floating aroundOriginally Posted by Cvija
Their claims are 100% BS. I got my Molten Pearl at MSRP which is $66,340, plus my did come with $290 of port installed parts, wheel locks, trunk mat and cargo net.So $66k for Performance is BS.
