F'n around, no disrespect bro 
It's all good. I'm just trying to touch up on your points.
Try lowering that nose of yours a little.
Bulls23337: I ordered the car already in the beginning of June. I was told it probably will be a 2011, and Lexus might not build a base car. This is the reason I wanted to know if anyone has ever ordered a base car. If not, then I don't mind adding on the necessary options to get the car. I did take into consideration of the MSRP, and luckily the dealer has agreed to $1500 over invoice.
It's all good. I'm just trying to touch up on your points.I don't think you understand my mind set. Just because I refuse to cough up the money for options, which I don't think are worth it, doesn't mean I can't afford to purchase and up keep the car. Obviously not everyone feel the same on options. Funny how you jump into conclusion about what others can and can't afford from decision on car options

You can't justify an audiophile quality sound system paired with a premium display with navigation, dvd playback, backup camera(worth every penny), along with many other luxuries.
...Yet you can justify the highest maintenance, more expensive model Lexus with unnecessary additional power.
I apologize for sounding high nosed, but it's not exactly the hastiest, mind blowingly illogical conclusion that you are a person that needs to justify costs, and I wanted to point out that the IS-F isn't an easily justifiable cost either, maybe you already thought of this, but that's ok... I never said you couldn't afford it... And even if that's what I did suggest, that doesn't necessarily imply that I am high nosed.
Maybe I came to a poor conclusion? Hell, you are the one that comes to conclusions about the ML system based off the subjective responses of other IS owners... See, we all make mistakes. I appreciate the warning, I doYou can't justify an audiophile quality sound system paired with a premium display with navigation, dvd playback, backup camera(worth every penny), along with many other luxuries.

. As I read your warning, I can't help but see the innuendoes of judging of a person's purchasing capabilities based on their choice of options for the car. I'm sure the options you have are worth every penny, to you. And I'm not knocking on the ML. After all, Mark Levinson has an established name.I've done my research on the car, and I don't have a problem with the maintanence. It is part of the ownership. This isn't the first sports sedan I'll be owning. The ML just doesn't float my boat. But I can, however, justify spending the money on 19" Volk Racing GTF wheels plus new tires, Joe Z intake & exhaust, Sikky headers, Wald body kit, and Tein lowering springs, and all the labor it'll cost to have these items installed. That's money I can justify spending, because it is worth every penny, to me.
Thanks for all your feedbacks. In the end, I wanted to know if Lexus would build my order for a base car. If not, then I'll add what I have to add to get the car build.
Sounds awesome, you are in for a real treat. I don't have the Joe Z exhaust, but I do have the Borla catback and did the intake flap mod, and since then have not really been needing that ML system haha. Put some pics up when you get it!I appreciate the warning, I do

*edit* Oh and remember to get a clear bra installed, best option by far.
