Sounds like BS to me.
 
What about people that live in a suburban area in one state right across the border from a metro area in another state? Technically that would be an out of state purchase too. Dealer probaly found a buyer (sucker) to pay more than what you had negotiated.

I was looking to purchase the IS350C with Premium and Nav packages. Made a deal for $1500 off MSRP via email in the evening with Internet Manager, JF, at Park Place Lexus in Mission Viejo. The next morning I drove 100 miles to the dealership only to find the car had just been sold. If an agreement made over the Internet cannot be honored by the dealership, they have no business selling cars over the Internet. Park Place Lexus in Mission Viejo is an embarrassment to the Lexus name. Caveat emptor.

I hope you gave them an ear full. I know some people gets deals by working with email but I think that you always get the best deal when you are there in person and there is less possibility of them trying to dupe you in some way. When I tried an internet deal once the dealer and I agreed to an OTD price (w/ tax, tag, title) - when I got there they told me the price we agreed to didn't include tax, tag, and title. It was a real bait and switch scheme. I started to walk but they convinced me to stay and I ended up getting the deal I wanted - just with a lot of additional angst. I have yet to do business with a scrupulous dealer. Every single time I've bought a car something unexpected happened - something that would benefit the dealer. So now when I walk in to a dealership I know my maximum price, I know I'm getting everything in writing, and I know that I'm not going to spend more than 2 hours there. I levelset them up front. If they balk then I walk. I can tell if they want the business almost immediately. Fortunately, I live in an area with a lot of dealers so it makes things much easier.

I dont know if the lexus dealers have as many IS 350 as they do with IS 250 because if they do, you should be able to get a much better deal at many dealers than $1500 off the MSRP. (i assume you were getting 2009 ).
today I got a a couple offers on the IS 250 and they are apprx $1000 - $1500 off the INVOICE. I offered them $2000 off invoice and I there is a chance I might get it next week. they are trying to get the car and color I want. I want RWD IS 250 with nav + premium + HID lights + 18" wheels (actually i dont want 18" but they came with it) and all the accessary. MSRP is apprx $38700, and invoice is apprx $35000 and I offered them $32500.

32500 before tax and license? wow...is this in California? I got 37475 out the door for same package (RWD IS250 nav, prem, HID, 18 wheel). Before Tax is 34068.
 
does this sound on par? Also got quoted without Nav just Premium Package for 34699 OTD 30495 before tax and license.

You have a lot of work to do on those numbers. That's REALLY high. I got the exact same car WITHOUT HIDs (MSRP $37,656) for $32,448 + TTL back on March 26 in So Cal. There's absolutely no reason you should be paying more than $33,000 + TTL for an HID car.
 
I mean, think about it. They gave you $30,495 for the car WITHOUT nav, but nav sticker is only $2550 so you should still be at $33k for the nav car. Invoice on nav is something like $2200. You definitely have at least another $1k to $1.5k to shave off that price.

Well Nav car forces you to get HID 18" wheels, plus HID
 
so we do car at 30495 + 2100 for Nav + 700 for HID + 700 for 18" Wheels. That puts me at 33995 plus TTL puts me at 37395 OTD. Which is about 80 bucks off their price. I agree it feels high, which is why I'm having a hard time biting on this number, but it seems to be ok according to the numbers from edmunds.
