Replying to: 12601 (Sep 11, 2008 5:55 pm) #1 is power of course. The extra 102hp makes a huge difference. #2 interior space. The IS is just too tight in the front and back #3 HID's standard #4 XM standard #5 color lcd screen standard for climate, MPG, maint and stereo #6 Bluetooth, iPod interface are included in premium package #7 the analog clock is so much classier then the 1981 style lcd clock in the IS #8 not forced to buy non rotateable minimum $800 to replace every 15k to 20k miles 18" tires on most configurations #9 lets face it, the IS250 is a Chick Car. Oh did I mention 102 more HP for about the same price? FYI with regards to MPG, my wife's IS gets 23mpg and I get 21 mpg with about the same mix of highway & city, of course I punch it a little more then her. I could have waited for the 7 speed. I just leased my latest G35 a month ago and didn't have to turn in my 05 G35 until October. I figured I would be paying $50-$75 a month more when the first G37 sedan came out, so any gas savings would wiped out by the additional payment. I guessed right in leasing in August since with the new lease rates I would have paid $26 more a month for a G35 in September.

What type of prices are people paying in the Chicago area for the 250 AWD? Not really concerned with what options, but just what people are paying for the various trim levels. Thanks |

Replying to: 12601 (Sep 13, 2008 3:10 am) With regards to wind noise I hope you have better luck if you have to change your windshield. For some reason Lexus chose to not use rubber molding on the sides of the windshield, and no moulding on the top of the windshield. Since we have had the windshield replaced the hard plastic on the right side of the windshield always pops out and its sounds like a window is open when driving down the highway because of air coming in through the molding less top. I don't know if you are using the on board computer to determine mileage. I have found it to be very inaccurate. It shows that I am getting 2-3mpg better then what I am actually getting. |

I saw that a few posters were getting amazing deals. Fully loaded 250's for around 32K. My question is will the price go up if you want to buy the car cash? I have a trade worth over 20 and would probably pay the difference off. I can just see the F&I manager renigging on the price when he finds out that i'm not financing it for 5.9%. What do you guys think, is the price negotiated the price or will it depend if you're financing it?

I have a car coming in from allocation. It's a 2008 350 SMG/Black - Prem - Nav - 18" wheels - HID Lights - Rear spoiler. MSRP is $43,180. Dealer say's their cost is $38,200 and they will give it to me for that +TTL. I got 3.9%/60mos locked in about two weeks ago so I think this is good but is anyone getting anything better? I am in AZ. Thanks for the valued opinions!

I am new to this thread and am a first time buyer. I am interested in a 2008 IS250, NAV, Luxury Plus Package (without alloy wheels). Finance/60 or 48 mo. I was advised by a small dealership of the following figures: MSRP: $37,670 Invoice: $33,396 Selling price: $33,3096 I test drove last weekend and advised the salesperson that I am interested in purchasing below invoice and they did not blow me off. How much below invoice do you think would be reasonable given that the 2009 models have just come out? Thanks for your input.
