I'm interest in buying a new 2008 Lexus IS F and would like to know what other people have paid in relation to the sticker price. I live in the Northeast, if that matters.

i was at a dealer in houston that has 2 is-f's and they said the last one sold for msrp and they are not really discounting them cause of the demand in this local market. they purposely limited the supply to some markets where it would be a big seller.
 
this is all dealer talk but i'll tell you at 2pm the dealer was pretty empty last saturday.

These aren't my preferred colors, but the price is better than the 1st round of numbers I posted:
 
IS 350 #1 MSRP: $44,342 Sale Price: $37,450 + tax/tags/$98 processing
HW Headlamp Washers
LT Prem Luxury pckg w/ 18" wheels
NV Navigation System
PA Parking Assist
Z1 Preffered Accessory package (wheels locks, trunk mat, cargo net)
 
IS 350 #2 $45,106 Sale Price: $38,250 + tax/tags/$98 processing
HW Headlamp washers
LT Prem Luxury Package w/ 18" wheels
LM Trunk Mat
LR Rear Lip Spoiler
NV Navigation System
PA Parking Assist
WL Wheel Locks
 
I told the guy who gave me the first round of pricing about these prices and he made it clear he could match them (I believe he has 7 IS 350s w/ Navi sitting at his dealership).
 
None of these IS 350s have the Mark Levinson Sound system though - I'd like that if possible.

Look on Ebay by alexis4

Definitely look on Ebay, if only to get an idea of what's out there and what prices are fair. There are a lot of new 2008 and 2009s on Ebay because everyone is trying to get rid of their inventory. www.lexusenglewood.com

Thanks for the advice. Here's the only completed listing on a new 2008 IS 350:
 

Lexus : IS 350
2008 LEXUS IS 350 SEDAN SPORT PKG W/NAVIGATION IS350Location: Chicago, Illinois
mileage: 143
(Best offer) $38,597.00
Dec-19 14:11
 
This one seems a bit modified though:
 Dual Sport Exhaust, ISP Mode Wheel upgrade <-- these are extra options right, even on top of the sports package. What kind of value do these have? There's an IS 350 I like in Jersey which has the Sports package (every other one seems to have Luxury only) but I'd like to know what a good price is to aim for.

2008 IS 350 search in the DC Area by srizvi1

I thought I'd post an update:
 
I Had a chance to visit two Lexus Dealers today in the DC area. One of the places was the one who I had my best internet price of $37,450 e-mailed to me from (a first round price that was given). This one was a silver/Tungsten one w/ Luxury Package (which has Navi), Parking Assist, Headlamp Washers, and Dealer Preferred accessories.
 
After test driving and talking, I got them first down to $500 off, or free XM, and then it become $500 off AND XM. Seemed like there might have still been room to negotiate, but I didn't have any sort of bottom number so it could only go so further.
 
Then I went to the other dealer and the perk of them is that they had two IS 350s both with the Sports package. - a silver/Tungsten one and a Smoky Grey one. The smoky gray one was the preferred one, but it had a spoiler that I didn't care much for. The best they were going to do was beat the other dealer's best price of $39,950 & XM installed by $100 on this (Slightly) more expensive one.
 
Both dealers said they would not give me these prices after today. Let's see if that's the case.
 
Now I'm going to e-mail my best prices to the remaining dealers in the area and see who'll beat it and by how much. If the difference is minimal (within a couple hundred), I'll buy from one of the places I've already visited.
 
I really want that Smoky Granite Mika one though. That's my perfect car. pretty much all other dealers around here have the same silver/tungsten build w/ luxury package.

2009 IS 250 search Seattle Area by SkyTribe

Went to 2 dealerships in Seattle area over past month.
 
1st seemed uninterested in getting any vehicle other than what was on there lot, didnt have any brochures.
 
2nd did a testdrive but price seemed on the high'ish side and could either get an in-stock color and qualify for december to remember financing or they could source a vehicle in color for even higher price and no financing.
 
Contacted them by email 3 times since test drive to see if they wanted to discuss further letting them know where I was coming from but "No replies".
 
I think the Lexus dealership in area arent trying to make sales - they are just trying to sell what they have.
 
If I'm paying this much money I want the color I want.,,,, Anyway, the didnt make a sale because they didnt bother getting back to me. But if anyone knows of dealership out west with a Truffle Mica / IS250 AWD who is looking to make a sale....

Been looking at 2008 IS250 here in the Bay Area and the dealership here seem to think 2008's will hold their values with the 2009's out already. The best price I have gotten from a local is 35K OTD with Navigation, which seem awfully high for a 2008! I countered at 31K OTD, was countered they only sold for profit!! Understood but this is a 2008.
 
Plus their inventory seems to grow every month with 2008's coming into their lots.
 
What have you guys been quoted on 2008's?
 
Thanks
