Thank you but I am in South Florida so I was actually interested in the dealership in the Miami area.

sure. its basically IS250 RWD with nav. that automatically brings the price to $38,201 msrp. getting nav also includes HIDs, heated seats, trunk mat, bumper aplique, 18" wheels. i got mine black on black. just say that you called around and that different dealerships offered 37k all fees and taxes included. they should beat the price, and keep calling around till you bring it lowest you can, i'd recommend longo and westminister. well i sounded pretty frustrated over the phone so i think they were able to tell that i'm ready to buy from the lowest offer. good luck!

I'm a Canadian customer. Fleetrates said they had secured my car, so I sent them the money. It turns out they had not secured the car and in the mean tme the value of the dollar had changed by $2000 on my 40,000 car. If I had waited until they had actually secured the car (3 weeks later) and then paid them I would have saved this money. They had even gone as far as to send me a VIN# of the car they said they had secured, when I talked to the dealership directly they gave me a completely different VIN# and said I would have to wait an additional 10 days for the MSO to be processed which meant I had to wait another 10 days on top of the 3 weeks that had already passed since I had paid my money. I don't expect Fleetrates will give me the $2000 difference even though they were wrong in saying they had secured the orginal car. However, if they put any value on their reputation I would think they should consider compensating me for the time as well as the money. The discussion is on going, I'll have to wait and see what they will do in the end but I'm not holding my breath. I believe I will get the car but overall the experience has NOT been positive. My advive, do not pay them until you talk directly to the dealership and verify that the car is on the lot and has been positively secured.

Hi everyone, I made a deal on my IS250 RWD yesterday and this forum really helped so thought I would post the deal I received. I leased from Sewell in Dallas.
What I got:
2008 Lexus IS250 RWD with premium pchackage (HID, AFS, 18 inch alloy wheels, ventilated/heated seats, maple interior and preferred acessory package) in granite/black combo. Also they through in window tint/pinstipe for free($395 retail). MSRP 35977
This is a 3yr/12K lease with 59% residual (20993) and money factor of 0.0027 at Tier 1 credit
Monthly payment: 416.89
How we got there:
OTD cost: $33007.80
selling price: $32,000
sales tax: $352.80 (they gave me tax credit to equal rates seen in December to Remember so instead of 6.25 it was 1.2)
Amount due at delivery: 1552.24 (includes sales tax, first months payment, aquisiton fees, T/L)
Trade in value: $2600
Hope this is helpful!

Does anyone have any opinion about waiting to buy an IS350 until December in hopes of getting a better price in the "December to Remember" event?

So far the best I've been offered is $2,400 off sticker of $39,551. Good enough? Or should I keep trying harder?

what part of the country are you from?? Here in DFW, I'm also looking for an IS350 and it seems they are very hard to come by. I had to let my dealership know several weeks in advance for them to track one down. Discounts vary from one part of the country to another, California and Florida seems like they are willing to wheel and deal the most.

I'm outside Chicago in the Western Suburbs. Most dealerships around me have 2- 5 in stock. Just got what could be my best deal. IS350 w/Premium+X+mats+spoiler sticker is $40,005 - Just got quoted $3,036 off sticker. Unless the other dealer is well under, this guy is getting my business.

$2400 off isn't that bad but I think most people including myself are getting around 3k off sticker, so maybe you can push for another $600.
But it also depends on your area and what the competition is around there.

If they've got some on the lot and are offering 3000 off MSRSP without haggling, I bet you could push for at least 3500 off. Considering that they have IS350's on the lot, you're already ahead of the game. Good luck. WIsh the market was that way here in Dallas/Ft Worth area.
