I was offered $29800 + TTL just few days ago. But the financing really kills it. It's like 6% right now.

Hey, how'd this work out? I might be in the market soon for an IS and would really like to go with the IS350. I am in Laurel, MD. I'm wondering if your price is what I should use as a marker.

Where were you offered $29,800, what options did the car have? Any details would be appreciated. Thanks.

My local dealer is getting very few new cars, and we are only 1 or 2 Lexus dealers in the whole state. I have been on the waiting list for a 250 AWD since June and still have not idea on when my car will be coming in. Why did Lexus do such a huge marketing campaign on the new IS but can't match it with the supply.

I also test drove a Lexus ES330. Overall a very bland car. Medicore sound system, no pickup, and the ride was too soft. The dealers quoted me 4K of MSRP for one too.
  
I looked further and the 0-60 for a IS250 is 7.9 seconds and for the ES330 is 7.2 seconds. That itself kinda gets me worried.
  
So is the IS250 really this slow?

I think the IS250 is a beautiful car inside and out. But I can't stand to drive my wife's because of the lack of pickup. She even complained to me last week about it after driving my 08 G35 for a day.

$3000 off 2009 MSRP by jsherm007

  My dealers, two in Minneapolis owned by the same guy, gave me the exact same 'aggresive pricing' of $3000 off MSRP on any IS250. I even emailed the sales persons and offered them $250 cash to give me their absolute lowest price as an incentive - still $3000 off from each of them. I would rather pay them some cash, make negotiating easy, versus them trying to hold $1500 gross to net themselves $300 commission 20%!
 
With sales down 27% on IS250's I'd expect some better pricing, not ~$1200 over invoice (not sure of exact 2009 invoice yet) but 2008's had about $4k in markup.

I think a salesman would be fired if he was found to have taken an under the table kickback. It would also be illegal if they didn't report the income to the IRS, and might be illegal in some states.
