hey
 
I am in the market to buy a new IS 250, unfortunately, I live in Richmond where there is only 1 Lexus dealership and it seems to be a monopoly around here. I was wondering if you could give me your dealer's contact information so that I can get a better deal than what I am getting here. You can email me at slickdealss1gmail.com
 
Thanks!

Thats a great deal. Curious where you found it. I am currently waiting for a new inbound IS 250 AWD in NJ. No one had this car with a luxury package. Even with or without nav. This is exactly what I'm looking for. Even the Lexus.com web site won't let you build the this way. I currently have a 2006 IS 250 AWD with the park assist option, and my lease is expiring. Hate to give up this option, but can I can only find it on the 350's. I am looking at A IS 250 AWD with premium package and Xenon's for about $460/month plus inception fees 36 months 10K miles per year. Any help on the location is appreciated. Thanks!

$600 bank fee by nross

In that catch all "inception fees" phrase is a $600 bank fee for a Lexus Financial services lease. Almost every dealer quotes this. In this Sunday's New York Times, Lexus of Englewood NJ ran an ad that deleted this fee and the total due at lease signing was exactly $600 less than normal. Is this a mistake? Should this "fee" be negotiated out on the current "Dec. to Remember" leases" or what? Just curious if anyone out there has any information on this as I am currently waiting for delivery of a 2008 IS 250 AWD in NJ. Thanks for any help!

Should I buy an IS 250? by kodi4

Hi All!
 
Is it worth buying an IS 250 inspite of all the maintenance costs like the tires, brake pads, rotors and all others?
 
I just want to buy a car with nothing or less to worry about paying for unexpected costs.
 
I do love the design of the IS and all.
 
I am just not completely sure about it.

I have a 2006 IS 250 AWD. I have leased it since Nov. '05. It has 19k miles on it and it has been absolutely perfect since day one. Not one single defect or problem what-so-ever. Zero! If you are buying a Lexus, assume you will take care of it properly. Have it serviced regularly, and pay for it. I have not needed any tires, brake pads or rotors. The tires still have half their tread life left. Another manufacturer may give "free maintenance", but I don't believe that includes tires anyway. Really the maintenance is not free, your paying for it up front. I'd rather have a more reliable car. I'm too busy to have to go back and forth to fix problems over and over. If you want the Lexus and can afford the maintenance, buy it. If you can afford the car, but not the maintenance, then don't. good luck with your decision.

Thanks a lot nross. I am glad your car is in good condition. It's just that I've heard a lot of complaints about the problems and all. Anyway I am planning to buy at the end of the month. Hopefully it all goes well.

Used 2007 IS 250 AWD by smashingovi

First thanks to all the posters for all the information you provide on the deals that you have been getting.
 
I found a non-Lexus dealer with a used 2007 AWD IS 250 with just over 3K in miles.
Options were Navigation, Wood Trim, and the Luxury Package. They were asking just under $37,000.
 
I told them that they were asking way too much and that I couldn't see how I could pay more than invoice on a used car and countered with $32,000. They said you are correct we are too far apart at that was the end of the negotiations.
 
According to Edmunds with these options invoice would be $34,460. I didn't include the destination charge of $765 in my calculation since we are talking about a used car. Was my offer completely off base or is it a case of the this dealership just having too much invested in the car to let it go for this price?
 
Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks again

Thanks. I got it at Prestige which I believe is in Ramsey (or somewhere up there). They were by far the lowest priced dealer I visited, and I went to three others in North Jersey - most of which were surprised by that price.
 
Best of luck to you.
