#2127 of 2796 Re: Fleetrates.com purchase [fits100] by hscbcc Nov 04, 2007 (1:57 am)
Replying to: fits100 (Nov 01, 2007 1:18 pm) 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.

#2129 of 2796 What about December? by jvalha Nov 04, 2007 (5:19 am)
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?
#2130 of 2796 Still Working on Price... by jvalha Nov 04, 2007 (5:20 am)
So far the best I've been offered is $2,400 off sticker of $39,551. Good enough? Or should I keep trying harder? Replies to this message: qhuy00 (Nov 05, 2007 10:43 am) mannydies (Nov 05, 2007 11:27 am)

Replying to: jvalha (Nov 04, 2007 5:20 am) 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.
#2132 of 2796 Might Just Be Done With Price by jvalha Nov 05, 2007 (10:54 am)
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.

Replying to: jvalha (Nov 04, 2007 5:20 am) $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.
#2134 of 2796 Re: Might Just Be Done With Price [jvalha] by qhuy00 Nov 05, 2007 (6:19 pm)
Replying to: jvalha (Nov 05, 2007 10:54 am) 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.
#2135 of 2796 Deal Finalized by jvalha Nov 06, 2007 (12:38 pm)
Just put down a deposit on what I believe is the best deal I could get. 2008 IS350 Obsidian/Cashmere. Sticker of $39,551 and dealer is going to install spoiler. Same model from the factory stickers at $40,005. Dealer confirmed $36,100 + tax, $58.48 doc fee, $25 filing fee, and $80 plate transfer fee. Go Lexus of Woodfield!
#2136 of 2796 Lexus' December to remember? by yvt Nov 06, 2007 (11:14 pm)
Does anyone have any comments about the December to remember event? Do they possibly offer any extra discount or what is the promotion about? Thanks. Replies to this message: vinnyny (Nov 08, 2007 1:48 am) yvt (Nov 08, 2007 10:09 pm)
