I was offered this car with just a preffered package MSRP 32,600 sales price - 30,000. I have a feeling invoice should be 28-29K so i don't know if it's a good deal. Also does anybody know what is the Money Factor for lower credit scores - mid 600s ? |

I'm shopping for an 07 IS250 AT RWD or 06 IS350 in the Bay Area. I want the ML/Nav system on either. AND, most importantly, it must be the Golden Almond color. With the IS350, I would settle for the Mystic Gold. One dealer told me that the IS250 does not come with the ML/Nav system. I would need to look at the IS350 for that. AND, I was told that it also did not come in the Golden ALmond color. Now, the Lexus website has the ML/Nav system as an independent option. AND it has the Golden Almond color listed. So, why is this dealer telling me this? Do I need to special order? Has anyone see these colors on lot? I haven't visited any dealers yet...just doing the internet thing so far. Thanks! Vivian

Replying to: derekyeu (Sep 20, 2006 5:07 pm) Which leads me to my next question. How "painful" a process is it to special order a Lexus? I also want the ML sound system in my IS250 which they don't seem to include in their option packages. So, maybe it'll be better to order the car I want. Has anyone special ordered the 07 IS250 AT RWD? Was it easy? Did you pay MSRP for that? Thanks!

Replying to: fishybear10 (Sep 20, 2006 10:07 am) But on Lexus.com, when you input the zip code, it shows Premium with additional options (HID, 18-inch wheels, preferred accessory package). You can get it with or without Navigation, no other options except probably dealer-installed stuff like rear spoilers. So the sticker with destination is either $35,222 or $37,772. This is with automatic transmission. Anyone finding any different configurations in the Bay Area? In particular the memory seats and rear shades would be nice to find. I tried the IS350 and it has a couple of other options like some Sport package but still no Luxury Plus package. |

hello all! i finally purchased my 2007 IS 250 this saturday at VISTA LEXUS in woodland hills, ca.... this site has been pretty helpful with my purchase so i want share my experience.. went to glendale they offered $2700 off sticker went to keyes van nuys the offered $1200.. plus their selection is not good... they accessorize their cars with spoilers and rims which adds $3-4k on top of the sticker then i finally went to VISTA... sticker $37772.00 got the car for $34500 (before tax).. got it $3272 off sticker.. happy with my deal coz they even lowered my financing rate... 6.60% apr for 72 months... at first they gave me 6.90% apr but they lowered it so i'm happy.... so total for everything with $7k down plus the extended 5 year warranty -which i might add has a money back guarantee if not exercised - is $550 monthly payment for 72 months... i'm sure i could've got a better deal at newport but vista was closer to my house and if i have issues it would be alot easier to have the dealer nearby... so i'm happy  the car i got is SILVER with BLACK INTERIOR... i really wanted the SMOKY GRANITE but they only had two IS 250 in stock... but silver is not bad.. its starting to grow on me.. out of the three dealerships i went he was the nicest one.... the rest were not nice... hope this helps!

Replying to: goldie7 (Sep 20, 2006 5:31 pm) Overall the process was easy, the only downside is that you end up paying a slightly higher price because they are less likely to negotiate since they don't have the car on the lot.

Replying to: fishybear10 (Sep 20, 2006 10:07 am) He wouldn't give an out the door price, even though I mentioned that there are all these fees like advertising and others that they tack on. I said I wanted $34k OTD for the non-Nav or $36,500 OTD for the Nav, based on what deals people were reporting. He said people make bogus claims online and offered $500 discount from his previous price to "earn my business now." Hmm, Stevens Creek is much closer but they're not replying to emails. Oh well, BMW has better lease deals and an ED option. Lexus IS is in a very competitive segment. |
