Replying to: mangball (Dec 01, 2005 9:14 pm) If you're in California, i'm sure you'll be able to find the car locally (or at least in CA). There are so many Lexus dealers there, that one of them is bound to give you a good deal. I'd try contacting the CA dealers first, I think you'll probably end up with a deal you could live with.

#199 of 2796 Deal to Beat !! by gerb53 Dec 02, 2005 (7:18 pm)
OK I first want to thank you for your forum. I was ready to buy yesturday but gut feeling told me I wasn't gettting a good deal. Deal came down to 32,000 Price. I was leasing for 36 months with 15,000 miles per year and putting down 3000.00 at a monthly price of 426.00 per month. Well I read your forum last night, I e-mail the guy from Sarasota low and behold he e-mailed me at 9:00 in the moreing telling me that his deal he has been giving everyone is ... Reg MSPR 32622.00 for IS250 RWD with 18 in tire package mat locks etc. his price is $31050 it was like 30565 + 485 Dealer Processing fee + tax tag and normal lease fees. So Of course I called my dealer I been talking to and told her about the deal that I am leaving for Sarasota to by this car I thanked her for her time. Sarasota is about 3 hours from me. about worth the trip. She called me about 3.2 minutes later and said she talked to her manager and her said he they would honor it. Arrived at the dealer and they didn't have the color I wanted (Theysaid they had it. It will be in tomorrow. but I will not be able to pick it up till Monday. Everything is already signed they actuaaly let me trade in my lease which is over mileage and still had 3 payment. The trade covered buy-out fees.. Like I said everything is ready to go. I just have to pick it up monday and I am still driving my old lease and just can't go over 300 miles. E~~ASY. This dealer is in Margate. If any wants her name please e-mail me. She told me yesturday that she would honor anyone else with the deal she gave me. and I will give you copies of paper work to help support your findings... Good Luck. BTW I got the Tungsten Pearl with Black interior. Tony      Anyways thats again.
#200 of 2796 Lexus and MSDs by casanova2 Dec 02, 2005 (7:42 pm)
Anyone got any ideas how to price a lease with MSDs factored in? I was at a local Lexus dealer here in Cleveland and was quoted around $600/mo + tax for a 36 mo lease on an IS 350. I've got spare cash I'd be happy to park in MSDs as I think I'll do better than the crappy 3% offered by CDs nowadays. No way I'm doing a downpay so it's MSD or I might take up Audi on its A4 offer. I liked the IS 250 though, sweet wheels. Replies to this message: kyfdx (Dec 02, 2005 7:46 pm)

Replying to: casanova2 (Dec 02, 2005 7:42 pm) If the Lexus MSD plan is the same as it used to be (and, I'm not sure about that)... you can make 9 extra deposits, and lower the money factor by .0009...   Assuming that (Cap cost + Residual) = approx. $65,000... then that would save you $55-$60 per month on your lease payment...   regards, kyfdx Host-Prices Paid Forums

#203 of 2796 Does this sound like a good offer? by trulyd123 Dec 02, 2005 (11:32 pm)
Purchasing IS 250 RWD (auto-seq), with premium pkg, summer tires, NO NAVIGATION, petty extras like cargo net, etc.)   MSRP is $33954, dealer offer is $32954, but sounds like he may come down even more.   What do you guys think? BTW, I'm in Oakland, CA.   Thanks! Replies to this message: jc7098 (Dec 03, 2005 6:21 am) trulyd123 (Dec 03, 2005 2:57 pm)

Replying to: trulyd123 (Dec 02, 2005 11:32 pm) Tell him your budget is $30k (excluding tax tag and title) and you can't go above that. They'll be especially anxious to sell if you are taking one off the lot. I don't expect that he'll take $30k but he'll likely give you his best offer at that point. Remind him that you can buy any car, from any dealer, and you are in no rush to buy unless he meets your budget. Always works for me. If you don't get him down more today, wait three weeks and see how anxious he is to sell! Good luck -- keep us posted Replies to this message: trulyd123 (Dec 03, 2005 2:57 pm)
#205 of 2796 IS250 AWD Interest Rates and prices Northeast? Help please! by jmcmbz Dec 03, 2005 (8:58 am)
I'm trying to help a friend in the Boston area. Anyone know what the base interest rates are on the IS250 AWD for December with excellent credit? Dealer is quoting 6.9% which seems high. Also, they are quoting him $35500 for a no-option car. This is over MSRP and I won't go for that. Did anyone get a better deal on this car in the Northeast? Thanks!
#206 of 2796 No deals by starman98 Dec 03, 2005 (10:53 am)
PP is not giving quotes I am really disappointed in the Customer Service. With all the hype how great CS is at Lexus I was disappoointed not to receive any quotes over E-mail.   When I went to the dealer the selection was terrible they only had maybe 3 IS's available. But like other people said the dealers in Dallas will not budge off MSRP.   32K for a car with a 2.5 engine and 0-60 in 7.9 seconds? No thank you. I offered them 30K which is 2K above invoice and the salesman kinda laughed at me.   As I see it much better deals are to be had at Infiniti, Acura, or even BMW.   Goodbye I250.
