Thanks to all the peeps for detailing their deals so its my responsibility to list my deal for others to see. I got a bang up deal on a No Nav, basic package SGM w/ black interior 2008 IS350 at Tustin Lexus (Tustin, CA) on 11/10. My options were: o Premium Pkg o HD HID headlamps o FT 18" wheels o Z2 Pref Accessory pkg (mats, net, bumper applque...) o XM rado o rear spoiler MSRP was $40-41k and change. Purchase price was $39000 OTD (8.25% tax rate) or about $100 below KBB.com invoice. I live in San Francisco Bay Area but was at Dizzyland w/ the family, so I emailed local dealers and told them make me a deal before I fly back home. My intial goal was $1k above invoice based on past posts on this forum. I visited Westminister and Longo Lexus (El Monte). Longo had the car I wanted at $39400 OTD minus the XM and rear spoiler. At the last minute I decided to call a dealer w/in 30 minutes from home. I called an internet manager and she said they would match Longo (w/ same options) at $39500 OTD so I decided to fly back and pickup the car. A diff of $100 wasn't worth having to drive 300+ miles back to N. Cal. Long story short, Tustin called late Saturday and said they would beat the deal and throw in the 2 options (spoiler and xm radio). Factors that helped: my credit rating is in the highest teir, I agree to give 100% customer satisfaction feedback, 50% downpayment in cash, and I financed w/ the dealer. Factors that may have affected the deal: Nov is a short sales month due to holidays and dealer had excess inventory. In the prior month I tried to get local dealers to try to touch $1k above invoice. Best deal was $2k below msrp. Sacramento Lexus was an appalling $1k below MSRP!

Hi, I'm from bay area california and I would like to share my awesome deal buying my IS 350. Sticker price was 42,045 and I told them I want spoiler the dealer agreed to include the spoiler for 180 bucks more!! MSRP with spoiler was actually 42,405. And I bargained until 36,600+ tax. So OTD I paid 40000 even, that's like what..almost 6000 off from sticker!! anyway, i bought this in June 2007, so it's a 2007 model. hey guys, we are lucky to like a lexus, coz the prices can be pulled down a lot!! use your negotiating skills and be patient. I love my IS 350 so much, the nav is great, premium package is enough for me, and the spoiler looks cool isnt it? =) |
