Default IS250 Convertible at Dealer

The local Lexus dealer has an IS250C in stock now. It is light blue with a very light interior (ecru?). This one is loaded and the base $39K has been run up to almost $50K. Car still has some of the shipping plastic on it, but I think it looks pretty good particularly in this color.

Add me down for that too. $50k for this tanning machine is a hefty chunk. I do like the lower, central air intake though. Nicer shape than the regular IS.

Everyone is forgetting one thing:

The type of people that buy a hardtop convertible is NOT the same type of people that buy the IS-F.

Only BMW can pull off selling an M3 hardtop convertible and charge $80k for it, which is selling in very very limited quantities. And to put it into perspective, a similarly priced 335i convertible is priced at $58k (more than a base M3 sedan) compared to the IS350C's $50k. And you don't see those guys (and mostly gals) modifying it like crazy like an M3 sedan.



Exception: maybe, just maybe, Henry (rominl) can prove me wrong...

That's one loaded ISC. If it's $50K then they must really want the convertible considerably over an ISF.
