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.

Actually, 2006 TL horsepower is down only because they are measuring it on a stricter hp scale...same engine, same power, just giving it the "true" horsepower rating. It would be as quick (or slow) as the 2005.

I loved the IS 250. Its more smooth than the BMW 325i. The only concern I have is its back seat room. Its very compact.
So I am debating whether I should go in for a family sedan kind or IS. what is the resale for IS. It should be pretty good?

I have to think the resale on the 2006 IS will be solid. I'm purely speculating, but I think because the 2006 model is so different than 2005, there will be a substantial increase in resale between the 2005 and 2006.
Any thoughts on the IS 250 AWD's power?

I don't know how you managed to get such a good discount on your IS350. I am looking for one with luxuary package and navigation. I talked to 2-3 dealers. Most of them are not giving any discount. Only one of them is giving me 1000 dollars off. I was aking for 2000 dollars off on MSRP. They are not ready. How did you manage to get this steep discount. please let me know. I will try it. I am ready to buy the car right now but I am not getting any godd deal. Thanks.

suave_teqila, could you share which dealership was willing to give you a loaded IS350 for $39K. I'm very interested in getting the same thing but everyone is saying that dealers won't budge much from sticker price.

Was thinking of buying civic full options.
But can't pass this deal...
Finally found and got quote for a rare IS250 Silver Manual for $30794
No options except
- Prefered Accessory Package (Mats, locks)
- 18 inch wheel...
Should I go for it or Should I wait...?

Wow that's quite a step up from a civic. Anywho, have you seen the invoice price on an IS250 manual? Edmunds says the dealers get these for less than 27000. That's 3 grand going just to the dealers! When the initial hype clears by middle of '06, I'm almost sure you could get one for $28-29K. Just food for thought.
