Replying to: lifeisgood_nj1 (Feb 14, 2006 7:06 pm) Sorry for the delay in response. I was waiting on some paperwork to make sure that the deal I mentioned earlier was valid.   Anyway, the dealer is in Lewistown, PA if that helps you determine if the trip is worthwhile. Car has spoiler, all-weather mats, cargo net, trunk mat & wheel locks as accessories. OTD price is $35,513. My wait time is anticipated to be 1 month, which is no problem to get the colors I wanted.   Dealer has been very upfront & easy to deal with. We've mostly cooresponded via email which is easy for me. The only drawback for me is not being able to get the sales tax advantage of a courtesy trade of my old car. It's too far for me to ask the buyer of my old car to drive. Still, the deal is better than I was getting from my local dealers and the wait time is shorter.   Happy shopping.

Replying to: oddielexus (Feb 19, 2006 11:35 pm) Hey, so that money factor, was it tier 1+ or 1? Or was it something less? I am looking to lease is250 with navi, and got a good offer from dealer. Just wanted to know what the going rate for Money factor and residual will be. He said residual for IS250 is 59-60% Is this true? Any info would be nice!

Replying to: baekho (Feb 21, 2006 12:05 pm) This was for a base model. Residual should be 61% with 12k was my understanding. I believe it was tier 1+ or whatever the best is because I have a very high credit score. I could be mistaken though and maybe could have got lower, but at the selling price I was okay with it. Lexus of Mission Viejo was awesome though so they deserve to make some money.
#581 of 2464 New IS coming soon.... by bigbwb Feb 21, 2006 (7:00 pm)
Hey everyone, Just wanted to run this past everyone who has purchased or priced an IS250 rwd auto in recent weeks. I just got a price for the following with the premium package only in smoky mica with the black leather listing for $33,200 and final selling price of $31,200 without taxes & title($2000 off sticker). I live in WI and called around and this was the best price I could get after quite a bit of dealing. Just wondering what you think? Overall, I test drove the 2006 325i and IS250 and went with the lexus. I am coming from driving a 2000 328ci and think the new IS drives just as good as the BMW at least up to 95% of its limit. The exterior/interior is what sold me on it. I always preferred the handling/ride of the BMW but the IS has the whole package that works for me. It is scheduled to arrive in early April......can't wait! Also, off topic, did anyone try the IS with the manual, because it was very finicky and not smooth compared to the BMW?   Anyway, Thanks, Brandon Replies to this message: intence (Feb 22, 2006 12:40 am) indexc (Feb 22, 2006 6:30 am)

Replying to: bigbwb (Feb 21, 2006 7:00 pm) That's a decent price given current market conditions. It's unlikely you'll be able to do better than $2500 off, and even that's a stretch. Maybe in a few months a better deal might come along, but you're pretty much smack in between sticker and MSRP.   I would be hesitant the get the manual, there are very few produced, and I think you'll have a harder time with resale. Most "sport-enthusiasts" who would want the manual, would buy the 350, so I still can't figure out why the manual is only offered on the 250.   Would you be able to give us the name of the dealer who quoted you that price?

Replying to: bigbwb (Feb 21, 2006 7:00 pm) That's a good price. I got my IS250 RWD A/T with Premium Package for $31,734, so you beat me by about $500. It took me a lot of dealing to get this price as well. I should be getting mine in early March. I can't wait.
#584 of 2464 New IS coming........ by bigbwb Feb 22, 2006 (6:59 am)
The final deal was made though Lexus in Rockford IL. The sales mgr. was very friendly/helpful and gave me this price almost right away. I did spend some time going back and forth with a few dealers trying to get the best price I could and this was it. A few other local dealers maxed out at around $1500-$1700 off. I feel the price is reasonable being the car has only been out since fall. Question for you off topic a bit: I will be keeping the 205/16 Blizzaks tires off the old BMW(selling rims separatley) and wondering if I get new 16" rims thru tirerack, will they work? I know the IS comes with 17" wheels and much wider tires, so thats why I ask. I think the all seasons won't cut it next winter here in WI.   Take care, Brandon

#587 of 2464 Re: IS 250 base in Ft. Lauderdale [sebast23] by y2kvette Feb 22, 2006 (10:52 pm)
Replying to: sebast23 (Feb 13, 2006 9:58 pm) Hi Sebast23. Stupid question, but did your inception costs include sales tax on the car, too? I'm getting the standard quote right now, which was $361/mo with $5k down + state/local sales tax, etc. I figured it would amount to close to $9-10k by the time everything was said and done, and a total lease cost would be around $580/mo + tax. I wasn't prepared psychologically to pay that much. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide. Maybe I can rationalize a trip to visit my sister in FL if I can't get that deal here!
