#1472 of 2473 Re: Ok so I finally bought one. [vimobroom] by md_rocks Jan 25, 2007 (1:17 am)
Replying to: vimobroom (Jan 24, 2007 6:07 pm) Well it seems everything got sorted out, but mine only had the premium package basically. RWD, not AWD. Oh and if we're getting down to the nitty-gritty, my price before TTL was $30,294   Tires for life cost $1795. You have to pay for mounting but on tirerack these bad boys cost $800 a set and the tires only have a treadwear rating of 140 so I think it was worth it.   I got a 5 yr/100K warranty for $2500. It covers every major component and it is transferable/refundable if I sell the car.   Both of these items were negotiated AFTER I agreed on a price, so there wasn't any lowering of the price simply due to these potentially high-profit items. I just like peace of mind. There was also no trade to complicate matters (I sold my car to carmax).   Any SoCal Lexus dealer worth their salt should be able to match this deal. Lexus of Westminster had a good selection but the tires for life got me into Tustin. Newport Lexus is actually the dealership that came through with the offer first but since Tustin and Newport are in the same "family" of dealerships they just matched it.   I love my car and am taking it easy so far, gotta break her in

Replying to: judy10 (Jan 24, 2007 9:48 pm) Ok, Jimjai's response of 33K to 34.5K OTD as a good deal might be a little too optimistic, especially 33K, which means you are getting the 37772 MSRP package (I'm assuming) for about 30K before taxes and fees.   If you get 33K OTD for your package it might be an "insane" deal on the part of the dealer. By my calculations, he'd be losing like 2K on the car (taking into account holdback too!).   I just got my package (like yours but adding XM) for about a little over 35.5K OTD. I just drove it off the dealer's lot a few hours ago, woo hoo, I love this car - My first Lexus! (Previous Car was Benz - mo'money mo'problems) Anyway, by my calculations, the dealer made like around $155 selling this car (I'm including the holdback he's getting back, but no other incentives). For your package, 35K OTD or a little over should be your target price in So Cal; not too sure about central Cal though. Right now, you are sitting on 36K OTD.

Replying to: vimobroom (Jan 24, 2007 6:07 pm) When you step on the gas pedal, the G35 offers much more power. I test drove both car and it's not to ignore the power factor. A 2.5L will of course consume less gas.   both are good cars. Just don't listen to the sales man as they are very biased.

#1477 of 2473 2007 IS250 (Rear Wheel Drive Auto) by kcleuk Jan 26, 2007 (4:21 pm)
Hi,   I am thinking of getting the 2007 IS250 RWD (auto). Just the base model with NO packages, maybe just the Parking Assist Control. How much do you guys think I could get it OTD.   Also, does this car has good resale value? I dont know much about cars.   Thanks. Replies to this message: jimjai (Jan 26, 2007 9:54 pm)

Replying to: vliang (Jan 26, 2007 12:26 am) Thanks for the input. It actually isn't 33k OTD so if I do purchase, it'll probably be about what you mentioned. Just one quick question...does your nav. system include the back up camara? Thanks. Replies to this message: jimjai (Jan 26, 2007 9:52 pm)

Replying to: judy10 (Jan 26, 2007 7:44 pm) All nav system comes with back up camera

Replying to: kcleuk (Jan 26, 2007 4:21 pm) I think if you can get it around 30g to 31g OTD, you are doing pretty good since the premium package (basic) always comes with it. I am not sure if you can get a car without the premium package.
#1481 of 2473 XM RADIO PRICING by vinnyny Jan 28, 2007 (3:59 am)
I looked at an IS350 today that didn't have XM already installed. The dealer told me it would cost $850 to install it. Given the fact that the antenna is already on the roof (and assuming it's already wired), how could it possibly cost that much? Has anybody else had XM installed? If so, what did it cost?
