I'm curious where you are to get $2K off. MSRP in Houston is $36,944 with 18" and "additional options" (cargo net etc). Other packages have not been allocated to this area. No cars on the lot at any of the 3 dealerships I have visited. Have had window tint and hand painted pin stripe thrown in...but still at the MSRP.

I live in So. California and most dealers still have a lot of these cars sitting on their lot. Pretty much you have to be ready to buy it then and there when you make the offer. The more you do the heming and hawing, the less likely they'll make a good deal.

I am considering IS 250 RWD. The dealer is offering it for $32,800 with premium package. Is this a reasonable price?
RWD doesn't come with a Memory seats/mirrors system. How useful is the memory feature? Is it really useful? I am thinking whether I should consider other options BMW 325i that offer the memory feature? I cannot justify the cost of IS 250 AWD with memory.

How difficult has your daily life been without memory seats?
Do you share the car with another driver? You should be able to answer your own question.

I'm ready to buy but am wondering if there is a strong opinion either way on these cars. I will want the navigation/prem,pkg for sure. If anyone has a price OTD for either that would be great info to have. I have Also been looking at the acura 2006 TL and was impressed with the nav. Will the IS be disappointment? Any feedback on this would be helpful.

Well both cars are wonderful cars since I am ready to purchase the IS 350 with Nav/ML and with the pre-collision. I got it for 47K but I was actually able to get it down to 39K believe it or not! But I told the saleman that I'll think about it! Ooh and I say TL is wonderful!! since my older sister is buying her TL the day im buying my IS which might be during Thanksgiving Day! Which we'll be sharing our cars (lucky us) ooh but its all depends to you. Yes the TL is more roomier than the IS. The one thing I wish the IS had taken from the TL was the Blue illuminate light that shines on the console which I thought it was cool. But I would say buy a fully loaded 250 for 40K and try to get it down a couple of k's! Ooh and people are saying that they arent able to get the MSRP down but its b.s. since I clearly got a good price! Ooh one thing reconsider on getting the 2006 TL since hp is slower than the 2005 TL. hope it helps!! ooh and my sis was able to get her 2005 TL fully loaded as well for 31 or 30K i think!! Good Luck!!!

I'm being offered list price of 37.6K. That is with Nav, but not the rest of the premium package. I think the interior is absolutely gorgeous; best in its class in my judgment. I'm a little concerned with the power on the 250 AWD, but it is a solid car at a good price. Anyone else have thoughts?
Also, with respect to the Acura TL, I test drove it a couple of times. Clearly a terrific car. Good power. Best Nav available. It is still not as plus in the interior as the Lexus. However, you can probably get it for 2K less.
