#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.
#207 of 2796 Dallas vs Sarasota Dealer by hamlyn Dec 03, 2005 (12:08 pm)
After the dealer at Sewell Lexus of Ft Worth offered me $500 off plus free tint, the sales manager came back and nixed the deal. He said he can sell the car at MSRP and since the sales person had already committed to me, and under duress he would offer me free tint or $500 off. Park Place Lexus in Plano offered me $500 off plus free tint, but the sales person had the personality of a brick. I think he got agitated with me when I let on that I would be leasing through my own bank. My bank had a lower interest rate and lower residual which in the end amounted to the same per month payment as the deal Lexus was offering. Park place offered me over 8% interest (.00330 money factor) for Tier 1 credit, which I found insulting. My bank offered 6% interest but a 55% residual. Lexus residual was 62% on 15K miles per year. At any rate, I contacted Wilde Lexus of Sarasota (yes, Florida) and the internet sales guy offered me the car for $2500 off MSRP, 62% residual and close to 6% interest (.0025 money factor) saving me close to $120 per month in monthly lease payments over 3 years (15K miles per year). The dealer is the same guy everyone here has been speaking to and he has shot straight with me from day one. If you don't mind having the car shipped to you, it might be worth your time to check with him. Replies to this message: intence (Dec 03, 2005 12:47 pm) bhuwan (Dec 05, 2005 5:34 pm)
#208 of 2796 Used IS 350 for sale by jc7098 Dec 03, 2005 (12:14 pm)
I came across this "used" IS 350 on cars.com. Has 850 miles on, basically new! Dealership is asking $35,995, but you could probably negotiate that. Car is in Alabama, to far for me. It's matador red with grey interior.   http://www.cars.com/go/search/detail.jsp?tracktype=usedcc&searchType=21&paId=132281159&pag- eNumber=0&numResultsPerPage=50&largeNumResultsPerPage=0&sortorder=descending&sortfield=PRI- CE+descending&certifiedOnly=false&recnum=0&leadExists=true&criteria=K-%7CE-%7CM-_27_%7CD-_- 7839_%7CN-N%7CR-10000%7CI-1%7CP-PRICE+descending%7CQ-descending%7CZ-34786&aff=national Replies to this message: intence (Dec 03, 2005 12:48 pm)

Replying to: hamlyn (Dec 03, 2005 12:08 pm) I would pull the trigger from the dealer in Sarasota. We don't have a large selection of dealers in the DFW area, and if they aren't going to give me a price I can live with, then i'll buy from someone who can.   In my situation, I really don't need the car right away, i'll probably wait another month or two, and see what pricing looks like then.   PP and Sewell will keep selling the car for MSRP as long as there's a market that will pay MSRP. We're already seeing great deals in the Florida and California areas, eventually the price will drop in TX, but for now i'd rather support a dealer who will sell at a fair price.
#210 of 2796 Re: Used IS 350 for sale [jc7098] by intence Dec 03, 2005 (12:48 pm)
Replying to: jc7098 (Dec 03, 2005 12:14 pm) I'd rather wait and get a real new one. If you're not getting a substancial discount on a demo, I wouldn't go for it. Who knows how the car was broken in and driven for those 850 miles? If I was test driving the 350, i'd want to see what the performance was like, and i'd probably drive it hard.
#211 of 2796 Re: IS350 [mldj98] by carnivore1 Dec 03, 2005 (1:05 pm)
Replying to: mldj98 (Nov 27, 2005 6:56 pm) I contacted Wilde Lexus also. Same deal - $2500 off invoice. Live in Daytona so it is easily worth the drive to save that much. Only problem is I already ordered the IS350 back in Oct. from a dealership in Jacksonville. Going to give them a chance to match and if not I will wait the extra month or two and place a new order with Wilde.
