Hello, I am interested in buying a IS250, but I heard from dealers that all the cars in North America are minimally equipped with the Premium Plus package (or some variant), 18" Alloys, and HIDs. Is this true? Ideally, I'd either just want a Base model or one with just the X-Package. I'm in California... Thanks! |

Replying to: jo1to6 (Jun 21, 2007 9:44 pm) The IS normally comes with several different packages like premium, premium plus, luxury(?), X or sports. Also, beginning in 07' HID has become a stand alone option. However, it is true that it's nearly impossible to find a RWD IS250/350 without the 18". The dealer should also tell you that you can custom order an IS solely based on what you want. It may take up to 3-4 months and dealers normally don't like to do that but it is possible. If you are enthusiast, go with the X-package since it has the sport-tune suspension. If not, the base model should be good enough. |

Hi, I am a first time car buyer and i am looking for a IS250 RWD with navigation & marklevinson pkg with HID. Now here starts the prob i live in NJ and the dealers here say that lexus doesn't send RWD's to northeast and they even say that Marklevinson is a very rare option(even with AWD) and i have to place a spl order if i insist on having it. Does anyone have an idea of what really is the situation and is marklevinson a rare option???? Any advice be of gr8 help to me............... And can anyone tell me wht is the price that i should be looking at with the above pkg's in both RWD and AWD forms. Thx in advance.

A dealer told me that all cars in California with X-package are pretty loaded up... with premium package, navigation, etc. (MSRP about 38K+) I was wondering if other people heard the same thing? I know that in other states you can get an IS250 X-package with fewer options (MSRP about 36K). P.S. I really liked the sport tuned suspension when I test drove it! It'd be great if I could find one in CA without navi and all the extras. |
