Replying to: bigb82 (Oct 28, 2005 6:31 am) Too much demand? That's contrary to what I'm hearing. The local dealer told me the IS will be included in the December to Remember incentive, and preliminary IS sales are "disappointing".

about interest. Wonder if there are a lot of lookers (such as many posters here), but they just aren't turning into buyers yet? Could be a catch 22, that the people who want to buy one are waiting for the prices to come down?   The interior room might be holding it back some too, and blame Lexus for the odd role out of configurations.   Add some configurations, and through a december to remember lease promo out there, and I imagine sales will pick up. hard to move something in the Lexus class and this price range with only full rate lease options.

My Lexus dealer seems much more motivated than 2 weeks ago. They had 72 test drives before the first sale occurred, which was a week and half later. Their first IS350 is still on the lot. I think they will be some deals and factory support of this car at the dealer. he wants me come in sit down for some number crunching.   I want a 350 with Nav and ML audio and 18's.

Replying to: flyingtiger (Oct 28, 2005 1:16 pm) There is nothing wrong with paying list price since this car is so new. Congratulation to your IS and be sure to give us a review of your car eventually.   007
#52 of 2774 big question to me by stickguy Oct 31, 2005 (3:03 pm)
is what happens with the manual 250 when it comes out. Wonder if they will sell at all? Porbably more important, will any dealer bother to ordeer any for a stock unit?   If they don't, they sure won't sell many, and the lack of demand will become a self fulfilling prophecy. Sure some people will order on a flyer, but most people want to be able to try one out in advance, and lots also want to buy on the spot, not order and wait 8 weeks.   But, BMW dealers seem to be doing the same thing. I walked the lot last week when they were closed, and every 3 series I could find (mostly 325s) were automatics. This was at least 30 cars, not including the M3s that I didn't scope out.

Replying to: stickguy (Oct 28, 2005 11:00 am) In recent memory (post internet) I can't recall vehicles softening so much as in today's market. Infiniti M, Civic, now the IS??? Are buyers waiting for special interest rates or huge discounts???   In today's USA today, Jesse Toprak (Edmunds employee) was quoted as saying customers are burned over gas prices. Months ago on the M35/M45 (not a compact sport) board, I posted gas mileage as an issue to sales. These compact sport sedans don't fair much better then SUVs, I often think most people do stretch for the monthly note on a car that's just out of their price range.   Anyone have Novembers numbers for vehicle sales? regardless of market niche (SUV, sport sedan, etc.) auto sales are not looking good going into the winter.
