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 2790 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.

Replying to: flyingtiger (Oct 28, 2005 1:16 pm) Huper Optik tint ? , Park Place had at least 5 last week when I test drove. Funny they have one of the highest markups of any vehicle.

Replying to: mvs1 (Nov 01, 2005 2:49 pm) M35...yes, I believe mileage is a concern....it should be at least 3-4pg better than it is, with real world reports mostly around 18 mpg.   M45...No...Real World mixed MPG of ~18 is good for the performance and size of the vehicle.   Yes, real world reports have the 35 and 45 about the same...which is also what I experienced with my FX35 versus others FX45.
