| Just purchased an IS250 AWD three weeks ago. Sticker price was $35,069--only additional option was the trunk package. Dealer gave $1,500 off msrp. Of course, the car was on the lot, but I loved the color and thought the price was reasonable, given I called another local dealer and was told they wouldn't budge off the msrp. Told me to go to the other dealer if I did indeed receive such an offer. I did and I really love my new car. | |

Just purchased an IS250 AWD matador red, sterling interior. MSRP sticker $35069. Dealer gave $1800 off and I felt this was very reasonable. I absolutely love the car so far. Everything seemed to fall into place with the car on the lot. Made a phone offer based on another dealer's quote and they accepted. Funny thing was when I came to finalize the deal there was a couple eyeballing my vehicle and wanting to purchase it with a sold sticker on it. Timing is everything. Thanks to everyone in this forum for educating me about the IS and how to deal. I truly appreciate your thoughts!

Replying to: carnag (Mar 20, 2006 9:50 am) the dealer with the least negotiating skills was bredemann in glenview--they are rather uppity and feel they do not need to negotiate. I called one last time to ask for a counteroffer, and they refused. I would definitely try highland park as they are as nice as can be, willing to negotiate, and very customer oriented.

I have been watching this forum and the prices of the IS 250 since before December. My local dealership wouldn't budge on the price, and was initially asking $600 over MSRP; I walked and waited. Last week, I purchased and drove away the exact car I wanted, an IS 250 AWD w/ Nav, Luxury, Spoiler, and Preferred Accessories (MSRP 40,274), for $37,150, $150 in fees, and applicable state taxes. For the record, I love the AWD in the snow, the Bluetooth works well with Verizon but does not allow phone book transfer, and overall, I love the car. Good luck to all and thanks for the posts along the way. |

| I just got my IS 350 that I ordered back in December. I live in the Augusta, Georgia area with limited Lexus dealerships unless I want to drive to Atlanta. I ordered the 350 with the Luxury option and the Levinson/Nav option. It just came in last week. The dealer would not take even a single dollar off the sticker. They told me they had offers for more than the sticker by those who found the car in their inventory on the internet. I called Atlanta dealers and none of them have this same car and options. I'm a first time Lexus customer and I was overwhelmed by the excellent buying experience. The car is absolutely amazing to say the least even though I paid sticker for it. This is the first time I have EVER paid sticker for a car. Once I got in it, I was just happy they didn't sell my order to a higher bidder! Best car I have ever been in by far! Oh, the sticker came out at about $44,259 which is what it priced at on the internet when I built it. The only thing the dealer did was give me some free cokes and then added about $500 to the original offer for my 2003 Acura TL Type-S that we traded. | |
