i was wondering, you think Lexus uses the Liquid graphite on the wheels because of the brake dust? Hmmmm

 

It's merely aesthetics as far as color but yes, it does help with hiding the dust.

 

yes, $53K was the negotiated price for the car only-excludes TTL.

thanks to all for the welcomes and congrats...however, i have been a CL member for several years. i had an is300 and is250awd previously.

 

Got it. That's still one hell of a deal. Congrats.

 

thanks flipside...i remember you when i used to CL browse back in 06.

 

Hey Flipside909, still not pulled the trigger on the IS-F ? The deals are not getting much better, but the used market car is getting tougher...

 

i completely agree..when i was shopping, 3 dealers told me that they cannot sell the is-fs and were trying to get them off their lots. this is of course due to the economy, credit tightening, gas prices vs a V8 (although oil is going down), etc. i bought the car but even the lease option wasnt bad-$5K down for $800/month. i am confident you can deal the car down.

 

shouldn't we wait for the 2nd year of production to buy one?

 

Not yet but soon.

No why would we do that? Lexus doesn't wait 2nd year production to fix things from the first. Their philosophy of Kaizen and continuous improvement eliminates that need. Changes are made even mid year to ensure quality.

 

I agree.

I offered 52K OTD for the IS-F (SGM/black leather), they did not want to let it go. Another dealer offered 54K before tax/lic for their demo car with 5k miles SGM/black leather.

 

I LOOOVE EEET!!!

 

Very nice Not the color I would choose for the car, but looks like a good deal ! Congratulations

 

What color do you like on the IS-F? I haven't bought one yet, still waiting..and waiting for the right time. Gotta get rid of my IS350.

 

WOW that looks goooooood!

 

You can get a new 08 w/ Nav & ML for their price on the demo here in LA easily.
