I live in San Antonio, TX and was quoted $39,000 OTD for an IS250 with premium package, nav,18in alloy wheels, HID headlamps, rear lip spoiler, preferred accessory package and window tint. Is this a good price for this area or should I keep on looking. Any info would be appreciated

Way to high. If possible, please speak with the folks at Fleetrates.com or Lexus Of Kendall in Miami.

Hi guys,
 
I just posted this message to another message topic and thought it should probably go here too.
  
This message board has been helpful to me in the past. I just purchased a lexus IS 250 without NAV.
  
MSRP $35,651
Purchase Price 31,000 + 299 for Sirius Sat and 600 Bank Fee.
  
Money Factor .1850
residual 58%
36month/ 12k miles
 Drive off Approx. $768
 Monthly payment approx. $443
  
Bought the vehicle in Southern California.
If you guys want to know the dealership and person who sold it to me, let me know. The 2nd best price I was quoted for a lease in SoCal was about 459 and the rest were over 500 per mongh.
  
I hope this helps and happy shopping!

Hey hscbcc,
 
I'm also a Canadian, and about to do the same with fleetrates.com. They asked me to wire the money to Automotive Consultants of Hollywood, LLC, the parent company of fleetrates.com.
 
Had you got your car yet?

No, I haven't got the car yet!!! The bastards sold the first one to someone else, even after I paid Fleetrates. My advice is do not pay until you get an invoice from Fleetrates that shows the VIN# and be sure to phone the dealership to confirm that they are saving that specfic auto for you and most importantly that they have the MSO at the dealership. I had to wait another 2 weeks for the MSO to arrive for the second car that they ordered for me. I hopefully should see my car in the next two weeks because I confirmed that Fleetrates has got the MSO from the dealer and sent it to the shipping Company. I'm at the stage of having to deal with the shipping Company which actually makes me feel better that it is out of the hands of Fleetrates. Fleetrates is quick to make a sale but very poor on follow up, I had to phone them every several days because they would say they were going to do something like send me information or documents but they never did until I reminded them. They just don't care about the customer after they have made the sale and really don't care after they have your money.It will likely be 2 months before I get the car I paid for way to ealier because I trusted the Fleetrates agent who told me he had a dealer trade arranged which turned out not to be true. My mistake was paying early in the process when they asked for the money without giving me a cofirmed invoice. I'm definitely pissed at Fleetrates and have good reason. I will get the car eventully, hopefully before the 2009 are on the market !!!!!!

Hi Joe (5150),
Could you send me the contact information of the sale person at Tustin Lexus, CA?
I'm also looking at the 2008 IS350. You got a great deal there. My email address is thongxnguyengmail.com
  
Thanks,
TN.

Thanks for the advice, I went down the same path. I paid a $1000 deposit, and waited 4 weeks for the VIN #. Now they want me to wire the balance to their account, but instead I will send them a bank draft, by registered mail. I am also planning to use AA auto for the transport (1,600USD).
 
Since car leadership won't sale new car to Canadian, this probably is a reasonable deal through fleetrates: 41,400USD for a 2008 Lexus RX350 4WD with Premium pkg & Nav. The dealer invoce is about 40K. I am sure US residence can better this deal.

IS 250 AWD - 2006 vs. 2007 vs. 2008 differences? by communiqueter
Nov 20, 2007 (5:48 am)

Hi,
 
I am one of the plethora of Canadians wanting to buy from a U.S. Dealership because of the wide discrepancy in pricing (ie. 250 or 350 is $7-11k less expensive in U.S.). Toyota/Lexus dealers will not sell a new vehicle to Canadian residents; therefore, I am looking for a low mileage IS250 AWD. It would help my decision making if someone can tell me whether there are any appreciable differences between the three model years that are available?
 
There are a couple of extremely low mileage (<1,000 miles) vehicles out there, one of them is an 06 IS250 AWD with, apparently, every conceivable option. The dealer is asking $37.9k. It is not my favourite colour; however, if it was available on December 26th (as recommended by someone on this forum as great time to buy) I would make an offer. How low could I reasonably go? I live on the border in Ontario; if anyone has any dealer recommendations I'm all ears. Thanks in advance for your consideration.
