HELP!! ..IS250...
I currently own a Scion tC... I have been researching and trying to BUY an IS250, 6 Speed Manual for over a month. I have been practically BEGGING sales guys, fleet managers, etc. to find this car for me OR ORDER ONE!!!!! How hard is that?? To order a car!!!!?? Geeesh!! I'm sooo mad!! 
If I weren't so damn in love with this car I would have said the H*LL with Lexus a long time ago. The sales guys don't give a CRAP, they don't seem to know anything about the cars. I've heard 100 different stories about how the IS 250 does or does not come equipped!
So, I need your help! PLEASE!!
A) Does anyone on this forum own a 250 6 Speed (MT) WITH a sports package? Sport package AND Nav??
B) Does anyone have a sales guy who is interested in selling a Lexus IS that would take the time out of his oh so busy schedule to talk to me and FIND the car I want or Order one for me???
I've been on forums reading and doing all the research I could possibly dream of doing and I have found that plenty of people are interested in the same vehicle I am with the same options. I have also found that people were able to order these, and although it takes anywhere from 2-4 months, they were able to get exactly what they wanted!!
The last guy I have been dealing with has just sent me an email this morning. This is what he said!!!
"Hello Megan,
I've been tracking the production of each Lexus model all year long. Lexus has not produced any manual transmission IS 250's with the Sport Package. They haven't even built any automatic IS 250's with the Sport Package.
Lexus has limited production of IS's with the Sport Package and Luxury Package to the 350 model only.
As far as special ordering a vehicle goes, dealers order vehicles from the units on the monthly production schedule. They don't let dealers build vehicles to spec. They tell us what they plan to build then we order from those units.
As I mentioned before, I'll let you know if the production schedule for the 2007 models changes at all."
Okay, so I appreciate him trying to help me and everything but WHAT IS THE DAMN DEAL HERE!???? People are just lying all over the place about what kind of car they have??? Doubtful!!
Someone!!! PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!! 
...Thanks in adavnce....
