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.

Replying to: russianmaya (Nov 20, 2007 11:07 am) The MSRP of a 2008 AWD IS250 with only premium package, HID, no nav in the largest dealership in N J is $36,894!! - invoice is 32,000. The above works out to $460/mth incl tax.....no DP etc So, your deal - $18 more per month, is a steal!! |

2168 of 2171 IS 250 2008 A, I getting a good deal by russianmaya Nov 20, 2007 (11:07 am) Save | Reply Total Posts: 3 Member Since: Nov 10, 2007 I received this quote from another dealership can you beat it? 2008 cars IS250 with navigation includes premium package 18" wheels HID Head Lights Climate control seats (Cool and Heated) 13 speaker/ 6CD Changer/Ipod audio system Back up Camera Bluetooth Hands free Phone System MSRP $38,214 Selling price $33,708 IS250 will be $478.22 tax included with no down payment just 1st payment and license.

Replying to: russianmaya (Nov 20, 2007 11:07 am) _________________ The above IS250 AWD has a MSRP of $34000 - you add $3990 the nav/bluetooth/camera package, $850 for premium package and $825 for HID ... total - around $39,000 - if your price is $33,700, you got $5000 + off the MSRP - my guess its around or below invoice. The MSRP of my 2008 AWD IS250 with only premium package, HID, no nav in the largest dealership in N J is $36,894!! - my buying price -$32881(invoice ?$33K) The above works out to $460/month with tax.....no DP etc assuming .00185 and 58% residual, you have $478/month with tax. So, your deal - $18 more per month, ~$1000 more price paid and 10k miles to my 12k/yr.....works out good! Looking at this now, I beleive we both good a good deal but not THE DEAL OF THE YEAR!

Hi all, Just bought my 2008 IS 250 AWD with HID and Premium package (including the upgraded heated/ventilated seats). Final price OTD was $34,854. Take out $300 for TTL, 5% for taxes(MD) and I paid $32,908.57. Extremely happy with my deal. I had been looking at the '08 Accord and was getting only about $800 - 1000 off of MSRP from the Honda dealerships. My dad finally said to look at the Lexus and man, was he right. We went in, test drove it, haggled for about 20 minutes and then agreed on the price. Gave them my 2000 BMW, they gave me $7,500 for my car and I'm only paying $27,354...Basically, I am paying $2,000 to go from the Accord EX-L V-6 with Navigation, to the Lexus without Navigation (buying the Garmin navigation from Best Buy tomorrow).  Couldn't be happier right now. Oh, they also offered me a half point lower on my financing. GO LEXUS!!!

Hi guys, I stumbled upon this site after some researching. I was wondering if anyone has bought a car from fleetrates.com? Any bad/ good exps? Did you get your car? Any advice? We are looking to get a new 2008 is250 awd imported to Canada, do you know how long this would take? Also, i would have to arrange shipping to my destination, correct? Would the car be stopped  the border? I apologize for all the questions, but we have never bought a car from the states, so not quite sure how to deal with this matter, nor from the site. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! =)
