[dazz32]

Niceone mate really chuffed for ya...and also very jealous.just cant wait to see one now....anyone near me.?????? spin? anyone...

[Scorps01]

Nice motor......but

Why did you pick the IS-F over the BMW M3 or the Audi RS4?...just curious im in no way questioning your love of Lexus. :D

[Unregistered_User]

You jammy, lucky buggers! I can feel the green seeping through my veins - envy before anyone suggests otherwise!

Congratulations to both of you, must be uber satisfying to have them finally :)

All the best,

Jamie

Mark my words around the track this car will be quicker than RS4, M3 and the Merc no doubt, Especially with those Brakes, Gearbox and Electronic Gizmo’s

think you need to take a reality check

I tend to agree Raj.

I think 77 works for lexus.

Good as it is can't see it spanking Audi/BMW at the first attempt

When I get my TOM's one :winky: that may be different

I beleave there are only 3 per dealer this year to be sold,you can not test drive one and none will be a demo at lexus dealers.you pay your money with no test drive and not even a car in the show room to look at,you view it on there p.c!!!!! they are trying to hit other countries with it first and may be the u.k next year.nice car,but strange selling line!!?

Welcome mate, why such a long lead time?

Stav

Hi - The reason for the long lead time is because I only ordered 3 weeks ago! Luckily Lexus Manchester had one allocation left for this year and I snapped it up. They said the earliest they could deliver was October unless someone cancels an order.

Im really looking at modifying this beast as soon as I get hold of it. I was in the Toyota community for many years and built a HKS Twincharged Corolla GTi which was sold a couple of years ago.

Fair enough mate, it'll be so hard waiting through the summer lol

What plans you have for it? forced induction?

So people... where are the promised pictures or Vids?

just checked the IS-F price in Ireland.... €108,000 euro (85,773.39 GBP) makes me sick....

[DJ Wozza]

The price doesn't stop me wanting one tho

Because of the high Irish price and the exchange rate at the moment it actually works out a bit cheaper to get one from the UK and import it. Especially if you do it before the July changes to VRT and road tax.

apparently this will be one of the 1st in the country - i get mine before the dealer principal! perhaps i have been misled by the dealership, but nevertheless, i have not seen a single one on the road (in fact in real life) so even if there are loads out there, i still will feel special turning the key for the 1st time!! no im not buying it for investment, after all its a car, rather than an old stamp!

Hope you enjoy it as much as i do mine. Think you have been a bit misled though, I picked mine up on the 16th April and there are others who have posted on this site that picked theirs up before that. Bet you can't wait til next Friday though? What colour you gone for?

Not sure of the actual name of the colour but it's the granite colour, looks great, sounds great and drives great, I've read so many different reports, some rating it, others not. All I know is I'm happy with it. It always gets a second glance from anyone one that sees it and I've not seen another one on the road yet either!

^^

I doubt will see another on the road, there are only 150 being coming to the UK this year.

I've probably only seen a handful of IS300s in the last 5 years (except LOC meets)

I went for the granate colour had mine since 17/4/08, well pleased, keep your eye on the front seats as the leather is slightly wearing through on th edges where you get in and out, been back to lexus had photos taken and getting sorted only done 3000 miles so keep a watch
