Hi Eddy08,
I bought the car from Lexus of Towson in Towson, MD. The $34,854 was my total, out the door price (inclusive of taxes, title, etc). I'm hesitant to give you the salesman's name because there's this red writing here that says not to post the names of salespeople, telephone numbers, e-mail or other contact info. But the dealership was Lexus of Towson, for what it's worth.
 
Does your $35k drive out price include the HID xenon lights and TTL? I was happy with our deal. When we initially sat down they offered me $5700 for my Beamer, "discounted" the car and said they would sell it to me for $34k (after deducting the value of my car). My father said we'll pay $26k for the car. The salesman acted appalled for a while, then we finally agreed on $27,300 with the manager and the salesman. The final $54 was because the tags on my old car were expiring in a year (and had to be sawed off because of the rust )
 
When it was all said and done, they backed into the price of the car by adding $27,354 + increasing the value of my car to the price they wanted to write on the paper. It didn't matter to me because all I was paying was the $27k. They could have valued my car at a million dollars for all I cared. It was a 2000 323i with 76k miles in stick shift. I missed my old car for about 30 seconds, till I pressed the button to start the ignition on my new car.

thks for the infos. can you email his name/# to angell8hotmail.com. I really hate dealling with salesman. Got bad experience recently cause they're so rude when it came down to dealing. That's why i rather do it over the internet. I felt it's a waste of time that they make you wait, pretending to talk to their manager...etc... but anyhow, thks .....
 
thks....

Great Bay Area Deal in IS 250 by ajfinoak

I got a great deal at Colliseum Lexus in Oakland on an '08 IS 250 with Premium, HID and Nav for 32.8K plus T & L. Were very easy folks to deal with and I highly recc them. Had returned an '06 BMW 325 under the Lemon Law. Loved driving and handling of that car when it was not in the shop but did not want to chance another. Thought about an IS 350 for the speed but not worth 4-5K more since not much opportunity to open it up on Bay Area roads.

I've just got to say that I freaking love my IS350. Super fast and luxurious. My only wish was that it had programmable seats and a proximity sensor alarm.

Yes, I did get the adaptive front lighting. Tax rate varies throughout CA; Oakland is ridiculously high at 8.5%. My OTD was a few bucks over 36K.

Hi all -
 
I have used the forums in connection with my recent lease and hope this can be helpful - got this in NJ:
 
IS 250 AWD
Lease for 36 months/12k year
Luxury package with navigation
$1471 due at closing, $455/month
 
I went to two other dealerships in NJ with this price, both of which refused to beat it (or match it).
 
Thanks for your help...Feel free to drop a line with any questions.

Hi bigesmalls21,
Sounds like a really good deal (probably more than $5000 below MSRP)! Can you provide a few more details of your deal? What was the original MSRP and the final negotiated selling price / capitalized cost (before tax, tags, license & CCR)? What is the residual % and money factor? Was this a 2007 or 2008 model? I'm looking for the same model (luxury plus nav), did you find many cars with this equipment, so that you had a good choice of exterior / interior color combinations? Thanks in advance for any info you can provide.
