The Is350 Is A Bargain..........

[MartinC]

I really shouldn't look at prices accross the pond, it just winds me up

For the new IS350, $35,440 MSRP = £20,596 in our moeny at the current exchange rate

Whats the current inport duty on a car?? if its 25% plus 17.5% VAT....with both those added on it comes to £30,250, the price of a well spec'd IS250

Just read further down th same article, courtesy of clublexus and they state this -

The robust 3.5-liter V6, mated to the sequential six-speed paddle-shift automatic transmission, carves out class-leading performance with a zero-to-60 time of 5.3 seconds :duh: :D

Puts it up there in M3 territory, surely thats a bit overstated bloody impressive if it true B)

I've been looking too...

 

IS350 Version L' - 5,250,000 Yen = £25K

IS350 Version S' - 4,950,000 Yen = £24K

However for us folks maybe better to import from Japan as they will be right hand drive :D
