| 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! | |

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.

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 |

Replying to: yuk8888 (Dec 05, 2007 10:31 pm) I live in Rockville and bought my '08 IS 250 AWD with Lux and HID at Lexus of Towson for a final price Out The Door of $34,854. I went to Lexus of Rockville, they were super nice. Never got into talking prices with them though. When I went to Lexus of Towson they had the car on the lot in the color combo I wanted and we made the deal that night. |

Replying to: hannous (Dec 06, 2007 6:29 am) I saw your post. I called Towson MD. The salesman sounds very rude. He insisted me to go in to see him instead of giving me the price. I was thinking why I need to do so if he can give me the price on the phone and I can just go to pick up the car right away if he can meet my target price. Maybe I was acting like a jerk too. Anyhow, another dealer is giving me the OTD $34900 deal. Do you think it's good?

Replying to: hannous (Dec 06, 2007 6:29 am) I live in the same general area and I'm also looking for the same vehicle. What was the MSRP on yours and what was the negotiated selling price (before taxes & fees)? What color exterior & interior did you get? Thanks for the info. MD
