Replying to: BluePanda (Feb 19, 2009 2:59 pm) Juno,   Congraaaaattttsssss!!!!   Can you post your OTD price so the forum can get a sense where the new target price should be set at? Also, how was the sales experience, how long was the search and negoiating and did the finance guy give you the raised brow on the price it was sold at?   Thanks, Gamus

Has anyone tried to get the $3,000 incentive? http://www.edmunds.com/new/2008/lexus/is250/100908538/incentives.html Just wondering. Replies to this message: greeneyespsu (Mar 13, 2009 3:04 am)

Replying to: Gamus (Jan 26, 2009 9:26 am) Gamus,   I'm looking at a car similar to you, basically everything but the summer tires (actually I think the one they just got in might have the 18" alloys.. it's their only car without chromes).. so 2009 IS250 with premium package, navi package, and preferred accessories (standard?). They offered that car to me at $32,800 + TTL at Keyes Lexus in Van Nuys, CA. When I chose to walk they offered the one with chrome (which I can do without) for the same price (dropped from $34,500 + TTL). Both car prices include 2 years of maintenance as well (supposed to be "complimentary" to take my business from BMW but you know how that goes). $32,800 plus taxes is $35,506 which is only a little under $150 from what you paid OTD so I'm assuming title, license, etc is more than that. Do you happen to have an exact number for what your car was before TTL? Also, the best they can do to finance me (729 FICO on Experian as first time buyer) is about 7.7% APR so I'm considering leasing instead. The lease would be either $1000 down and $473.56 mo for 35 additional months or $3500 down and $400.28 for 35 additional months. Both 12K leases. Dealer trying to tell me that's as low as they can go, but it seems this is not that great of a deal based on what you got. Can you or any others in SoCal please advise? (Specifically about leases and also about price BEFORE TTL) Thanks so much!   Also, does anyone know of any 2008 IS250's in SoCal area? I am unsuccessful at finding any.   PS -- I ideally need to buy by next Thursday.. so just about a week from now.

Replying to: gregd1 (Mar 10, 2009 8:16 pm) The incentive is only on 2008 models and those are few and far between. I think there's only 2 new ones within 100 miles of me in LA or I'd be all over that.
#2593 of 2787 Re: IS 250 09 with NAV for Lease [leeinla] by greeneyespsu Mar 13, 2009 (3:12 am)
Replying to: leeinla (Dec 21, 2008 5:29 pm) That seems like a good deal. What dealer did you get that quote from? I've been dealing with a couple in LA and the best lease I've gotten is $400.28/mo with $3500 down. My options are with premium and navi, so sounds the same as you (I assume you're getting prem if you're getting navi). Please let me know ASAP if you can.. I have 6 days to make a decision!

Replying to: greeneyespsu (Mar 13, 2009 3:12 am) New best deal I got on a lease (SoCal).. which I'm thinking is as low as I can get cause all the other dealers I ask to match it (cause this one doesn't have the color I want) say they'll get back to me and I don't hear back. haha   IS250 with Prem and Navi MSRP$37656 Selling Price $32548 36mo/12k MF .0001 (.24%) Driveoff $4598.58 (includes $3200 MSD to lower MF and is refunded at lease end; other $1398.58 is title, license, etc) 35 more months at $391.83 (incl tax, but will rise another 1% b/c of CA tax increase) Residual $19.581.12   Thoughts? Looking to close today.   Also, does anyone have any good leads on insurance? The best I can find so far (I'm 25/f with clean record, gated parking, AAA, college degree (non-science tho), pleasure driver) is around $900 for 6 months (100/300/50, no rental, roadside, or gap (Lexus leases include gap)) through Nationwide. I've called others that are much higher, but it seems that if someone refers me directly to their agent I get a better price through them than when I contacted the company the first time.. which is why I'm asking here. Need to find it soon! Thanks! Replies to this message: krazybalr (Mar 19, 2009 1:12 pm)
