I'd like to get an IS 350 soon. Hope to seem some more posts from people in the market for that. This post I'm replying to dicsussing $2700-$3000 off seems to be a good indicator of what I can aim for.
 
A bit about where I am in my desire to purchase an IS (for anyone who's interested) - I'm still a little hesitant on getting an IS in general. When I first got an IS 300 a few years back, I loved it and thought it was the perfect car. but after the redesign, I've liked it a bit less. Ideally, I'd like to get an IS F, but that's just way too high.
 
But even with me being hesitant on the IS, there really is nothing else for me to consider in the entry-luxury market. I definitely don't want German because of maintenance otherwise I may consider a 3-series or an Audi. I know they have free factory scheduled maintenance promotions and stuff these days, but I worry about problemts outside of warranty (which could happen) and once I pass the 50k mileage mark. My current 2004 Accord is already at 120k+ miles so I intend to put a lot of mileage in my new vehicle.

Why not a G35? Much more car for the money then a IS350. If you are going to pay cash, or have your own financing a G35 can be had for about $4000 below invoice. If you are going to lease, or want to take advantage of their .9% financing its about $1000 below invoice.

hmm.. I know that's a valid suggestion, but to be honest, I've never really been a fan of the G35 though. Maybe I'll look into it though. Thanks for giving me your feedback anyways. I'm sure that info will be helpful to others if not me.

I liked my Acura TSX and would recommend it to someone who wants a $30,000 sedan, but it had more (and more expensive) problems in the two years I owned it than the BMW X3 that replaced it has had in the past three years. That may not indicate what the future holds (beyond 4 years, 50,000 miles), but at least at the outset, Germany/Austria beat Japan in my recent experience.

Looking to lease this car for 12K miles per year , 3 yr lease, and navigation is a must.

What are people paying cash for the car in ca out the door?
 
The tax in ca is 8,25%.
 
Thanks,

Lexus I250 09 with NAV Buy CASH??? S. CAL by leeinla

Toyota is losing money. You can't get a good return on your money in the bank.
The MSRP on this vehicle with the NAV option is around $34K according to Edmunds. Is it possible to get this vehicle out the door for $31K CASH? Let me know? Sales people are pushing to close the deal in December. After December the drive off will increase, that's what one sales person told me. I am not in a hurry to purchase right now. I can wait a few months. I think it is an amazing car. I tend to keep cars for a long time.
 
Thanks,
 
Lei

I'm mainly searching right now for a used IS-F and trying to see what kind of price I can get it at. I also mentioned before (in the post I'm replying to) that I'd like to consider a new IS 350 too. Here are very first quotes I got on the IS 350. Seems they are going for invoice, at least from the Lexus dealer I spoke w/ in New Jersey. The thing I needed was Navigation so we started with that. There are two IS 350s for the color I Was interested in:
 
One has the luxury package: w/ HEADLAMPS WASHERS 9510A, NAVIGATION SYSTEM ,TRUNK MATS, PARK ASSIST, WHEEL LOCKS
MSRP: $44,391/selling price: $39,165.
 
The other one is the Sports Package:
HEADLAMPS WASHERS, REAR LIP SPOILER, NAVIGATION SYSTEM INTUITIVE PARK ASSIST, PREF ACCESSORY PKG
MSRP $44,590/Selling price: $39,302.
 
Will post more numbers as my search goes on.
