Any thoughts on this offer before I let it pass me by after Monday? This is a 3-yr lease with 10K/year; Cincinnati, OH. No special package other than wood grain interior trim upgrade. 09 IS 250 AWD MSRP $36,329 Selling price $33,508+acq fee of $700+Saels tax $1,043=$35,251 Residual = 56% Gross Residual=$20,344 Money Factor=.00111 Lease payment ($0 down) = $476 They tell me this is the deal of the year but it doesn't seem so great to me. However not sure that they discount the Lexus line too much. Any thoughts on this? |

Replying to: srizvi1 (Jan 03, 2009 6:30 pm) It was tough not going with the other dealer who had been really nice and upfront with me from the start, but 1) she didn't have my preferred car, and 2) she said that she couldn't do any lower on the price. So for the same price, I'd rather go with my preferred car (the IS 350 I went with was in the color I preferred and had the Sports Package). I took advantage of the 3.9% financing for 60 months. I'm so glad this is over. I could have held out longer if I wanted to, but this was my preferred car and around the area, all that are really left are 2008 IS 350s in Silver/Tungsten w/ Luxury Package.

Replying to: srizvi1 (Jan 04, 2009 4:20 pm) As for me, I am still holding out on the 2008 IS250 - and using the IS350 as a guideline of 36,850 makes me feel that my price is fair 32.5K.

Replying to: Gamus (Jan 04, 2009 9:08 pm) Remember, with the price I've posted of $36,850 - a portion up to $595 of that is XM. And as I mentioned in my last post, if I could be flexible on the color and package (Silver/Tungsten w/ Luxury Package), not grabbed one w/ a spoiler, etc, I think I could have pushed this down another grand. I just really wanted the sports package and the Smokey Granite Mika color. |

Replying to: Gamus (Jan 04, 2009 9:08 pm) I posted earlier about my 2008 IS 350 purchase today (err.. yesterday, it's past midnight) for $36,850 w/ XM included. It's in Smoky Granite Mika w/ Sports Package (which has Navi), Rear lip spoiler, parking assist, headlamp washers, and dealer preferred accessories. I mentioned there that there were some other 2008 IS 350s still around in the DC area, but they were all in Silver/Tungsten w/ Luxury Package so I decided to get my preferred car. Well, when I e-mailed the other dealer I was talking to (Lexus of Annapolis) to let them know that I was sorry, but I went ahead with the sale at Silver Spring because they had the car in the color and build I preferred (it was a nice e-mail because Lexus of Annapolis had been really friendly with me and I really did want to buy from them if I could have)... .... Lexus of Annapolis replied and said they're sorry it didn't work out too, but they were willing to go as low as $34,500 for getting rid of their 2008 IS 350 Silver/Tungsten w/ Luxury Package. I still dont' feel too bad because I did prefer the Smoky Granite Mika color and the Sports package - and had been waiting to buy this car for too many years to not get as close to what I wanted as possible - but if anyone likes the Silver Tungsten color w/ luxury package, I suggest giving a Lexus of Annapolis a ring. I posted this over in a couple of my.is threads too - hopefully I can help save someone some money: http://my.is/forums/f101/left-over-08-is350-pricing-373991/#post5674674 http://my.is/forums/f101/2009-350-purchase-377523/#post5674664 Maybe I can help save someone some money (plus, I want to see if the Dealer really would be willing to go that low because when I had spoken w/ him face to face, it seemed that we weren't going to be moving past maybe another $500 or so under $36,950 w/ XM included) |

So I am looking to buy and IS250, there isnt much of a difference between the 2008 and 2009. Currently this is my deal. MSRP is $33935.00 Their offer is $29,500 The car includes tinte windows and a clear bra on the front bumber along with the Lexus package of HID lighting. The car is a smokey granite with black interior. I am located in Oklahoma and the car is nearly 600 miles as well. Also, I am not financing the car either. What do you all think? |

Replying to: nguyen918 (Jan 17, 2009 8:37 am) I think you can do better esp if the car you are being quoted has 600 miles and it is a 08. Work with the internet dept and grind them down as they are more interested in volume. |
