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.

Yuk8888,
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.

Hi Hannous,
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?

Hi hannous,
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.

Really? I guess salesmen are hit or miss. The guy I dealt with was very nice, funny and seemed to have a good time throughout the whole thing. Even during the negotiations. He was demonstrative and acted surprised/appalled by our offer, etc but that's normal. He was fun to deal with. His manager was cool too.
 
Since your $34,900 is basically the same price I got I would consider it a good deal, depending on the options. I have the upgraded seats that come with the lux package and the HID lights. My color combo was the charcoal Mica grey metalic with the grey leather interior with black leather highlights and the wood trim...Very happy with it. It was my first choice color combo and they had it in stock.

Hey MD,
I'll have to check my file at home. I only know the bottom line number off the top of my head $34,854 and what I'm paying ($27,354). They valued my trade in at $7,500 which was $500 more than the next best offer I had on it. Although, their first offer on my car was $5,700 which was $850 lower than my other lowest offer.
What we told them was that we would give them my beamer and $26k. They countered with Beamer and $28k. We offered $27k, they said $27.5 and we settled on $27,300. Final $54 was for the tags when they discovered they had to saw my old tags off of my old car, so I got new tags.

What's the reason you go up to Towson at the first place? You live closed to the belt area right? Lexus of Rockville/SliverSpring should be some of your choices right?
Why you didn't go there?

Hi Yuk8888,
Yes, I live in Rockville, only about 5 minutes from Lexus of Rockville.
I went to Lexus of Rockville initially. Test drove the vehicle, liked it, decided I was going to buy it. I had an absolutely fantastic experience there. Salesman was super nice, very friendly, etc. Never really spoke about actual prices with him, but I'm sure he'd of given me a great deal. This was Tuesday before Thanksgiving.
On Wednesday I went to Towson for the Thanksgiving weekend (my family is from there). On wednesday night I took my fiancee to the Lexus of Towson so that she could test drive the car (she couldn't make it on Tuesday at Lexus of Rockville). My dad, who absolutely LOVES car shopping, practically begged to come with us. I had done the research on the car, new what price I wanted. Lexus of Towson had the exact color combo I wanted on the lot. Got a good vibe from the salesman and a great price (in my mind) and the rest, as they say, is history.
