#1378 of 2796 IS 250 RWD w/o NAV in SoCal by uncmikel3 Dec 27, 2006 (11:17 am)
Thanks for the help everyone, I just purchased an IS250 without Nav for $29,800 plus T/L. That is more than $1,600 under invoice! Great deal at Lexus of Glendale. Took alot of work but worth the savings! I don't think they were happy about that sale! Keyes in Van Nuys was close at $29,995 but $200 is $200!

Replying to: uncmikel3 (Dec 27, 2006 11:17 am) Key question: did the vehicle have heated seats and the 18" summer tires? I have been shopping used IS250s, with and without NAV. The lowest I have seen with less than 10K miles is $31,980 before negotiating. If this type of deal can be had a on a new car, I will pass on the used and go straight to new! There is an IS250 in Glendale with NAV for $32,995. I can go witout NAV to same some $$. Replies to this message: uncmikel3 (Dec 27, 2006 2:37 pm)

Replying to: xchicagoan5 (Dec 27, 2006 2:12 pm) Answer to your Key question is yes. It has the 18" summer tires, heated and vented seats, all without nav. I did some hardcore dealing with them. If you want nav just offer them the 2k more than 29,800. I don't see why they wouldn't take it. That price is without tax and license which were about 2k I think.

#1382 of 2796 Houston, TX deal on IS250 by kablo0ey Dec 28, 2006 (8:18 am)
I know basically all GREAT deals are coming from SoCal but I was finally able to work a decent deal in Houston, TX. Wondering if anyone got a similar deal in Texas. I got the 07 IS250 with 18"wheels, prem pkg, HID, spoiler, and navi for $36.2k OTD. She claimed it was invoice price, which I have not even gotten close to with other dealerships in the past. I had the Taste of Lexus coupon for $750 off too that applied to bring it down to 35.5 OTD. Replies to this message: xchicagoan5 (Dec 28, 2006 9:57 am) lwv (Mar 02, 2007 12:50 pm)

Replying to: kablo0ey (Dec 28, 2006 8:18 am) Please share MSRP & sales price before TTL. That would help to determine the deal you got. I am looking at similarly equipped vehicle and want to hammer the dealer today and tomorrow. I have noticed that they have all wanted to give the best deals before end of year.
#1384 of 2796 Wow- I really envy you folks who pay invoice....not possible here-- by jim7485 Dec 28, 2006 (2:27 pm)
There are 4 Lexus dealers in Michigan, owned by two companies. The result is near MSRP pricing. Here's the best deal I can find, after 3 days of negotiations. IS 250 AWD non-NAV. The sticker is $35,647 and the offer is $33,019+ TTL ($2628 discount) on a cash deal. They offered roughly $500 extra for my trade, which I guess is a small concession. Should I... 1) take it and enjoy my new ride with the knowledge that I will not likely do better or 2) Keep negotiating, or 3) fly to California, buy one at invoice and drive it home or 4) buy a Ford product at the known sub-invoice price? I have never had to negotiate a car price before as I've always had an employee discount, until now. Lemme tell you... this has been exhausting. I'm going to take a shower now.
#1385 of 2796 Thanks to you guys.. by stormable Dec 28, 2006 (11:09 pm)
I live in the Nor. Cal bay area. I got a 07 IS250 RWD Nav 18" wheels, premium pkg, HID, spoiler MSRP 38.1k for 32.2k+tax+fee. This may not be the best deal, but I'm amazed by my own deal. According to the dealer, it is more than $1,000 below invoice. In the end, the prices from this forum helped very much. I started out with the internet and after that I visited a few dealers and had them compete to get me a better deal. I think there is a big chance that the price will go back up once the december sale ends, so people should go out there and see what they can get.. I wish you guys good luck.
#1386 of 2796 Just bot an IS 250 AWD non-navi by jim7485 Dec 29, 2006 (7:07 pm)
Tough (impossible?) to get a sub-invoice price here in SE Michigan. There are only 4 dealers within 100 miles and they are owned by just two companies. After 3 days of negotiations, I bot my IS 250 AWD non-navi today. The Total MSRP including the wood pkg, winter rubber mats and a trunk accessory kit was $35,746 I paid $32,531 + TTL : roughly $3200 under MSRP. Not the best deal for sure, but good for this area.... I was not previously aware of it, but many of the local dealers use the same trade-in wholesaler, so when I took my car to either Jag, Lincoln, Ford or Lexus they all consulted the same fella to price the trade-in. That said, I was surpirsed that the Lexus dealer offered an extra $1000. I know for certain that the wholesaler offered the dealer $3000 and they gave me $4000. I suppose it's possible that they lost $1000 on the trade which was a near-junker that they would not sell on a Lexus used lot. I don't care either way, but it inflated the sticker (good for them), while they just shifted money from one pocket to another. What a yummy car- dark red with tan leather. The whole garage smells good tonight.
