Perhaps your dealer was dead that Saturday, but I was told Thompson Lexus in Doylestown, PA (30 mi north of Philly) sold 13 cars on a Saturday a few weeks ago (I don't remember which one).

Currently, the IS 250 has lease specials and they're offering 2.9% for 60-months on NEW and CPO models. There's no Marketing Support (cash to dealer) or other rebates applicable at the moment.
 
Here is the link to all current Incentives (Rebates, Marketing Support, Low APR, Lease Specials)Current Incentives
 
Plug in your ZIP Code to find all deals applicable to your location. Then scroll down to Lexus to see what is available- then click on each deal to see the specifics.

fordandh,
sounds like a great deal! i visited newport lexus last weekend and am in the market for the exact specs you have. Can you tell me what fees were on top of the 32700, and what the out the door price was? Also, who did you deal with? I am working with Tom Beatty right now...
Thank you!

What is your out the door price including tax? BTW, what's the sales tax rate in cali? I'm getting that exact same car in texas but I getting quoted an OTD price (including TTL & dealer "trasport" fee) for 41800. I'm trying to squeeze it out to 39500, but don't know if others are able to get such a deal. the 41800 is 1000 over invoice, which I think is ridiculous considering lexus sales have dropped 37% this quarter and 27% for the recent fiscal year. I'm trying to go for 1000 BELOW invoice. Anyone got any prices below invoice?

OTD was 42467 with TTL. Tax in california is 9.25% (just went up recently). I was told at the end that the 38500 I paid was only 200-300 over invoice. My car's sticker was 43000 and change.

I am interested in a fully loaded 2009 Lexus IS250 Auto RWD (Nav, Premium, 18", HID), stickers at $38.445 on the Lexus site. What is reasonable to expect off at a dealer. I'm in Northern CA. I saw someone post Newport (SoCal) did a $37.7K car at about $5K off, is that reasonable to try to get dealersand would that be considered as good of a deal as I can get? Can I even get more?
 
I am not in dire need of a new car and can afford to wait around. I just want a really good deal, is there a more opportunistic time that I should go shopping, any predictions on upcoming incentives/marketing events/etc.
 
Also I would consider used, how much would dealers typically be willing to go off their advertised price.. like a CPO 2006 IS250 Auto RWD fully loaded? I've seen a few advertised in the 28-29K range, are they going to laugh me off the lot if I ask for 5K off those?
 
Any input/experience is appreciated. Thanks!

I dealt with the sales manager at Colliseum Lexus in Oakland when I bought my similar '08 1.5 years ago and he was very good to deal with and I was able to get my requested price of just over 5K off of MSRP.

On a CPO (Certified Pre-Owned) model, you might be able to to negotiate $2-3k off of the asking price. I don't think you'd be able to get $5k off a CPO model (that'd be 18% off a $28k car). Your best bet is to price the specific vehicle using Edmunds TMV- Lexus TMV
Print that out and take it to the dealership with you (if the numbers are in your favor)!
 
Lexus has an excellent CPO warranty (3-years from purchase or 100k miles, whichever comes first). They're also offering 2.9% APR (up to 60 months) on CPO vehicles, too.
 
I helped my best friend buy a CPO '07 IS 250 a few weeks ago. It has 41k miles, silver/black leather, automatic, rear spoiler and no other options. It was priced at $26,995 and I got them down to $24,500 plus tag/title & sales tax.
 
If you can find a CPO model with the options and color combo that you want, I say go for it! It wouldn't hurt to field some quotes on new ones either, just in case you don't find a CPO that works for you.
 
You're in a great position (you're in no rush to buy)...enjoy it!
