new 2008 IS 250 RWD base model in Black $29,191 plus license fees (from car broker). car has the Premium pkg. which includes the heated and ventilated leather seats and floor mats with trunk mat. I am thinking it needs to be around $27,000 since it is a 2008 and once I drive it off the lot, there goes the depreciation! Thoughts? Am I way off base here? |

Replying to: cpa3 (Jan 25, 2009 8:56 pm) I paid $35,650.00 OTD in CA. The car was in-stock, so it was not special ordered or had anything added on. Tried like a mad man to get it to a round 35K but to no avail as they said I can walk out on the deal over $150.00. 09 IS250 NAV Premium Package Preferred Accessory Package 18" Alloy wheels with summer tires Just like Dirtywater, I tried to do most of the negoiating through email until it was close. Read my earlier post on my Lexus experience. Also, when I bought they denied they had any marketing support so factor that in when negoiating with them or wait til the end of the current promotion and see if they will get agressive again on rates or rebates.

Replying to: cpa3 (Jan 25, 2009 8:56 pm) I paid what Gamus paid, I think maybe $100 more, but that was due to where I lived in CA, etc. I used what he paid, and some other members on another forum. For me, I had a price I was sticking to, and I had 2 dealers say they would do it, but one was a bait and switch, and another lied to me about inventory to get me down there. In the end, I went with Longo, who I initially didn't think would meet my price. For me, I got the VIN number and sticker tied to the price before I ever stepped foot into the dealership. I insisted that I go there and verify the car and test drive it before I agreed as well. That was all after I agreed to the price. I just was so happy with Longo, they treated me exactly how I wanted to be treated. If you do go the internet route, make sure you get the VIN number of the car in question, the price of the vehicle and the OTD price after all fees. I was at the dealership for a total of 20 mins when I went there to pick up my car. FYI, I got the same car as Gamus, just a different color combo. |
