Lexus deals on Drivethedeal

I recently saw that "Drivethedeal" are offering large savings on the Lexus IS220 SE. As these prices are less than say a Mondeo diesel or a Mazda 3 or 6 diesel, the offer seems quite appealing. Can you hazard a reason why the large savings? Are Lexus about to facelift the model or bring out a new shape, or is it the backlash from the Toyota debacle with their worldwide problems of late leaving them with masses of unsold stock?

See car by car breakdown. The IS range has just been refreshed, so I guess these will be pre-refreshed. He does say they are 148g/km, which is from before the refresh. Still very tempting, though.

Very well built. Top quality interior. Lexus dealers are best in the business. Impressive refinement. All engines chain cam. IS250 probably the most reliable car you can buy.
