smatn5 Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Hey guys, Great forum, I'm curious about seat memory (mirrors would be nice too but not as big of a deal) on the 2008 IS250. Really love memory for seat as my wife and I both use the car. I saw on the Lexus website under IS250 RWD specifications the Lexus Memory System is an option. Also on Edmunds it shows as part of the Luxury Plus Package it has 3 position seat memory stated in description. When I was at the dealer and he said the IS did not have seat memory. Anyone know what the story is? Would the car need to be factory ordered or something to add the feature? Much appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LexRexBlue Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 It is the one option of the luxury package I wanted. However, I couldn't justify spending that much for one major option. The other is the rain sensing wipers. Ironically, Lexus gave the seat memory as standard all the way back as '99 on my RX. I got so spoiled with the rain sensing wipers I almost forgot how to adjust them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smatn5 Posted February 22, 2008 Author Share Posted February 22, 2008 Yah, my apologies I now have more info. It is available via the Luxury Package, my dealer just never gets that package apparently. The memory seats and rain sensing is pretty standard on many luxury cars, I'm surprised that the dealer does not have this feature standard.

In order to get memory seats (plus mirrors, plus passenger side seat), you must purchase either the Luxury Pkg or the Sport Pkg. It may be difficult in certain areas of the country to find a 250 RWD with the lux or sport pkg--you may need to special order. I have an AWD, and the dealers told me that less than 10% of them are built with lux pkg, but I was able to find it. I just had to settle on my 3rd choice for color (otherwise I would have had to special order). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
