I made a deal yesterday for an Lexus IS350. I could be wrong on this, but I believe they only make IS350s with 2 configurations from the factory now unless the dealer wants to add things to the car. Aparently finding an IS350 with lux is near impossible. But the configuration I got included:
- Nav
- 18" wheels
- HID
- AFS
- Prem
- IPA
- headlamp washers
 
MSRP: 43325
Invoice: 38703
Price: 38500 (price includes delivery, processing, and handling)
OTD: 39855 (price includes tax and title)

Hi,
 
I'm trying to get a lease deal on the 2009 IS 250 with premium package but prices only on the base model goes for almost $515 with tax for a 36 months, 12k lease. Any recomendations as far as what should I be paying or has someone gotten a good deal lately?

You do not want to lease a car by payment. You lease a car by the sales price. Right now you should be able to get an IS250 for around invoice. I'll assume you want a 36/15 lease. Currently the lease factors are 50% residual (yuck) and .0004 money factor (yay).
 
The MSRP for the car you want is 34,190
Invoice is 30,857.
If you pay first month, bank fee, doc fee and TTL at drive off you are looking at a $400 lease payment not including tax. If you get the car for $500 over invoice you are looking at a $416 payment not including tax.

Hi Mr Eman, where did you purchased your IS350? I am looking at something similar or without Nav if possible?

HELP...lexus IS 250 by towjc10

I just started a brand new job as an assistant and my first job is to purchase or do most of the research for a lexus IS! I know nothing about cars and I would love to get some good information so that I could get get a good deal for my boss. She lives in Orange County, Ca and is leaning to an IS 250 (but thinking about a 350). She has informed me she most have the nav, back up camera, and heated seats. Do you think she needs all wheel drive living in So Cal? Anything else important? Can someone please help me with what a good price is and any other features/things I need to know??? My fear is I will go into a dealer and they will take advantage of me. Thanks so much for your help.

Thanks, How did you determine the money factor? I have gotten so far this lease deal in Miami, FL on the base model with no premium package:
 
Money down, including first month: $3,000
Monthly payment: $393
 
36 months/12,000 miles per year? Is it a good deal of should I still shop around a little more?

The money factor is provided by the finance company (Lexus/Toyota). You really need to read up on how a lease is calculated before jumping into one. I told you not to buy on lease payment, and all you provide is a lease payment and ridiculous down payment as your quote. Car salesmen love it when all you ask for is a payment. Go back to square one and ask for the selling price, not a payment.
 
That's a horrible deal because you do not put $3000 down on a lease.

Did you find a deal in the South Florida area? If so, could you share.

Out of State Sales by claymatt

I am on the verge of wiring funds for a new Lexus to an out of state dealer, when he tries to pull out of the deal we've agreed to. He cites Lexus corporate policy to not sell to clients from other states. He says the reason is that Lexus wants clients to have the "Lexus Experience" and pick up new cars from the dealer, rather than buying and shipping.
  
If this is true, then the "Lexus Experience" stinks. I can only get the configuration I want from out of state. I can’t believe that Lexus’s focus on customer service would mean that a customer couldn’t get the car he wants. The “Lexus Experience” has got to be better than Ford’s old “you’ll get what you want as long as its black.”
  
Have you experienced this? Is Lexus corporate forcing their dealers to not serve distant clients? Or maybe my dealer got cold feet?
