2008 IS 250 w/Navigation & Premium Pkg by marniew

Can someone please tell me if $30,000 is a good price for a CPO 2008 IS 250 w/nav and premium pkg that has 21,000 miles? I am supposed to go to the dealer's in MD today as he says price is only good for today! Dealer originally wanted $31, 500 and says $30,000 is the lowest he can go.
 
With the recall in the news, should I bargain any harder when I get there?

I've never gotten a deal thru the internet dept before, how did you approach them? Any advice on a strategy to work with the internet dept?
 
In general, are internet deals better than in person?

Not to sound rude but you approach them thru their website. Others have called the internet dept - "The give away guys"
 
Only strategy would be to have all your research done and what should be a solid offer "ready to go"
 
And yes, I have found that the internet dept does not play the 'dog & pony show' game.

I hope you didn't bite on that deal. You can definitely work more than that. You can get a brand new 2009 for about that price now (well, a little more), especially since the 2010's are out. I bought a 2009 back in March with nav and premium PLUS 18" wheels for $32,448. That was 7 months ago, you should be able to get lower than that now. Paying $30k on a CPO 2008 is crazy.

Thanks for replying and NO, I didn't get it but I was ready to until I got there and saw tht the so-called "CPO" had a slit in the left front tire, a dent in the right rear bumper, numerous scrathces and was not even detailed.
 
What a crock!! Needless to say I was very disappointed and even wrote to inform Lexus of this sham. I asked the dealer to see the 161 point inspection sheet and none of thee items were listed on it so I'm at a loss to understand how they could even act it a "CPO" . To add insult to injury, I drove over 100 miles to pick it up...(navi is hard to find on the 2008's.)
 
Thanks for telling me how much you paid for your IS 250. May I ask what part of the country you live in greeneyespsu?

>> What is the lowest amount I should be aiming for on a 2010 IS250?
 
I'd like to know this too. Specifically, a 2010 IS 250 with the 'economy' premium package (the one with perforated leather seats, HID headlights, memory seats... but NOT the 18" wheels).
 
Anyone?

I live in Southern California and I just got quoted an OTD price of $31,5K on a CPO '06 IS350 (white/beige) with around 35K miles on it. It's fully loaded with nav, ML audio system, etc.
 
Just wondering if it's a good deal?
