There is such thing as supercharged IS350 as well 😄

I personally never had issues with automatic in IS250, so keeping manual is not on my list of concerns. 

and it still will not get you to the power level of IS-F, close though. I think this was more feasible in the states, the prices are completely different for these cars. Here, it doesn't make much sense now that 350s start popping up from Japan almost cheaper than domestic 250s.. 

Yeah well..personal preference. Even I would just get an IS350 over supercharged 250 with a manual.

I am just looking at links of IS350 you posted and realised both are actually the same price - the one for £9k is UK registered, the other one for £7k still needs registering, means paying VAT on it. 

One fun claim on the more expensive one "Same Mpg as a is250 but more power." - no... it isn't! 😄

If it's already in the country, all you need is DVLA registration with a proof of MOT. Registering a car is like £55 IIRC. You only pay VAT etc upon getting the car from the ship yard. So it's not gonna be a lot of money, just a lot of paperwork.

Yeah lol, I can imagine the MPGs are similar to 370z.. 19 in town and 34 on the run. Almost 10mpg less in either scenario.

As far as I know if car does not have registration it needs VAT to be paid before it could be registered.
