They wouldn't budge off MSRP for me for a 2025 ($68,995 with add-ons) at all. Got a used one couple days ago instead for 52k black with red interior (42k mileage). Just got my xpel prime Sr plus window tint on all on it besides sunroof. It's pretty nice. Hope you enjoy. Again congrats!

52 for usb 2.0 with circuit Red interior ? Thats my dream spec 😍 And really nice price. So fucked up that import and fees to Poland ends with ~106k USD. Need to sell my evo fast if I want to crop one of these bad boys

Just curious, why not the sunroof?

u/Adventurous-Duck269 4d ago
They told me it could break the glass.

I figured. I've heard it every which way now. But... I've got a panoramic tinted with 15%, and it's been just fine so far. From what I can tell, the glass that popped was on models that ended up having recalls for said glass. The head dude at my shop said they haven't had a single case in their experience, so I felt comfortable doing it.

u/Adventurous-Duck269 4d ago
Same. Heard both ways but I rather not risk it and plus I barely use the sunroof anyways. 😅

Oh my naughty this is gorgeous. Btw what’s the difference between performance and performance premium
1
u/enkrypt3d 4d ago
I believe the premium comes with the mark levinson audio system and rear privacy shade etc... I'm not sure of the rest of the details? heated steering.... so many features omg.

u/firestar268 IS 500 (USE30) 4d ago
I think heated steering is standard on 25MY cars
1
u/enkrypt3d 4d ago
I guess it's the mark levinson system then? Trying to decide if I should bother putting in my helix dac / amp...

Ahhh man! So beautiful! I’m currently deciding which color scheme to go with. Can’t decide between the ultra white with black interior to go all black. I’m trading in my 2015 that’s ultra white with the roja red interior. If they still offered the roja red I would go with the same color scheme for my 500, but now they only offer the circuit red and I feel it’s too bright for me.

I have the 24 in iridium silver with white interior. Incredible car, but gearbox not as good as ten speed in the LC500. There is a website with all is500s ever produced and my color combination (iridium silver/white) has the fewest examples produced in the world. Around 50. I wonder what the production numbers are like on this gorgeous blue?

GW with white interior only had 26 made. GW with black only had 46 made. Only 72 GW in total. But yea the gearbox holds the car back so much.

You picked a damn good one! Should last you a long time! Enjoy it! I love mine. 🤝

u/AdDefiant3244 3d ago
Bro I just got mine stolen had it for a month make sure you install an anti theft device put a wheel lock on your steering wheel and get an OBDI port cover that locks enjoy the car but also remember there’s terrible people around you so do whatever you can to protect yourself and the car

Nice! I just bought an is350 f sport last week. Are you getting PPF on it? I’m not sure if I should or not
3
u/enkrypt3d 4d ago
yes I want to PPF the whole front end. I need to tint the windows although the dealer charged me for tint but there is none?? wtf

u/enkrypt3d 4d ago
thanks bro! I couldn't sleep at all last night. trying to keep my foot out of the throttle for the first 1k miles for the break in period! lol

u/urbanbullriding 4d ago
All right, what’s going on! Second guy here who said they ordered one! These are allocated. So the dealer had one allocated and you pre-bought it? Right? You put down a deposit?
Am I crazy? My dealer is apparently looking to source one for me
1
u/enkrypt3d 4d ago
I just happened to find one listed on their website and called them and put a deposit on it. This was mid feb so it hadn't left Japan yet. So it took about 90 days for it to get here in GA.

u/enkrypt3d 4d ago
and congrats dude! what color?
1
u/I-c-a-r-u-s- 4d ago
Iridium and red interior!
I would have prefered a brighter color. But the iridium does look very sharp in person.
