Fzara2003 Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 Does anyone know what new features the new 2004 IS300 will have? My dealer told me nothing will be changed, and therefore it will be better to get a 2003. Probably just trying to get rid of his inventory.

Bionic1 Posted August 17, 2003 Share Posted August 17, 2003 I was just @ the Lexus dealer today and there is nothing new about the '04' IS300 except a new color. I don't remember what they called it exactly but it's a blue. Also, the destination and handling charge is about $50 more and the MSRP is the same. I placed an order for a 5-speed in Graphite Gray with all-black leather interior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
