SPIS350FSport

Hi,

Not sure which dealer you ordered from. I ordered mine end of Feb a F Sport IS350 blue come with moonroof and I was told I can have it in end of March 2011 but I choose to have it mid April 2011. I was last told in last April the IS350 stock is running low and the next shipment will be June 2011, but not too sure now.

Hi,

When imgot the car from day one i put on "rim skin" kit from autobarn. I use the black colour to blend in. This should protect the wheels. I got all four wheels done, very easy installation just peel and stick. Try that if you don't want to respray and also protect the rest of the wheels.

Very good info and it works for me too. Thanks for sharing.

Let us know how you go.

Hi,

My experience happen 2 weeks ago was, my car was ready in the showroom with a plague with your name on it. Then I was given a coffee and also time to find up the balance of paperwork. Then a delivery service person will show you all the features of the car (by that time I don't really care, as I want to drive the car now!), she kindly explain everything to me and also setup the phone for me, just a click of a button all your contacts will be downloaded to the car system. After that they gave me a big bunch of flowers and a bottle of white wine. This were all given without asking. Perhaps someone else have a better one then mine but I am happy with it.

I'm on 9.8 avg M1 traffic lock and urban drive when in country 8.4 avg on 110km/h.

Finally got the car yesterday and also have venture shield for the bonnet, front bumpers, headlights, fog lights and side mirror. Then put on rim skin for the wheel to prevent scraping. Overall happy with the car except when they did the tinting someone forget to put the cable back so my passenger side door can be open from inside but will sort this out in the service centre soon and no biggie. Anyway here my car.

Hi perthlexy, honestly once you test drive it you are hooked. I'm in perth quite often lately and i have not seen any IS350 F Sport around the CBD, so go get it. I got the ultrasonic blue instead of black since they have the stock for both black and blue, don't think i want another black since my last car was black. Go on you know you want it.

No worries perthlexy, yes I was told to have the moonroof as they have the stock otherwise i have to wait for another month for the new stock coming April shipment but that was before all the drama in Japan. I must admit moonroof seem cool though and they told me good for resale.

Hi,

I always wanted an IS but the 250 seem a little weak for my liking. Just a month ago i went into the showroom looking at the IS350 prestige vs F sport and i end up with a F Sport which will take delivery coming Monday. The only option you have in F Sport is the moonroof, the rest are stock standard. The front is not that low compare to my 350Z i traded in. 18" wheel could be a problem if you parallel park, just becareful and use your mirror or else get a protecting skin from autobarn to seal it at least if you do hit it, it will take the rubber off rather then the paint on the wheel. As for pricing i think $75k would be a good guideline for a 2011 built IS350 F sport. But i believe Toyota is going to increase their price so i think Lexus will follow soon at this is what happen in Toyota and Lexus USA already.

Hope this help.
