#2507 of 2796 Re: IS350 Deal [azax456] by srizvi1 Oct 28, 2008 (6:20 am)
Replying to: azax456 (Sep 17, 2008 12:47 am) 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.

Replying to: allizard (Oct 25, 2008 8:13 am) 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? Replies to this message: kingpcgeek (Oct 29, 2008 4:26 pm)

Replying to: applecore323 (Oct 29, 2008 1:15 pm) 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.
#2512 of 2796 $3000 off 2009 MSRP by jsherm007 Nov 06, 2008 (7:01 am)
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.

Replying to: jsherm007 (Nov 06, 2008 7:01 am) 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.
#2514 of 2796 by jsherm007 Nov 07, 2008 (6:00 am)
Maybe it's a kickback, or just a gift? When I sold cars people gave me stuff, granted not valued that high though. Plus any gift under $10k doesn't need to be reported to IRS I don't think. Anyway, it was just an idea that I thought would persuade the salesperson, it didn't. But a dealer in my home state of OH is more than willing do deal, but that just means I have to wait till Thanksgiving to get the car now...   It just doesn't make sense for a dealer (in this terrible market) to take no deal, instead of a small deal...
#2515 of 2796 $750 Lexus Coupon by emedway Nov 07, 2008 (4:13 pm)
I've read a few posts suggesting folks bought these off eBay at $200 with a face value of $750 and that dealers accept these as a form of payment on your purchase or lease of a new 2008/9 Lexus. Does anyone know if these are truly legitimate and if any Lexus dealer as rejected these as a form of payment?   thanks
#2516 of 2796 Good deal? by jsherm007 Nov 12, 2008 (8:29 am)
Dealer here in MN is at $32,813 for IS 250 AWD, preferred accessory option, and the premium package. How am I doing?
