#769 of 2470 RE: IS PRICING [sander1] by is250driver Apr 22, 2006 (8:17 am)
Replying to: sander1 (Nov 16, 2005 8:24 pm) For me, the choice was between 3 cars, the BMW 3 series, the Mustang GT CVT... or the Lexus IS250 or 350.   I drove the Bimmer, and have owned 2 BMW's and was trading one of them. My trouble with BMW, the salespeople think I am apparently joking around, so they never really bothered to help me out.   My Bimmer was a 97.. quite old yes, but in great shape, and ran like nobody's business.   Still BMW showrooms aren't always that inviting toward a younger single guy apparently.   So... went to Ford.. drove the mustang.. incredibly fast, but I was leary about the product itself.. with Ford being notorious for having issues with first year products.   So, I then drove a the IS250 AWD... the 350 was just way out of my range.. at 44K with every option.   The 250.. admittedly is a little lethargic.. but how many of us really need to go from 0-60 in 5 seconds?   That was my rationale..   Everything else about the IS is incredible.. I love it, and the fit and finish is 2nd to none.   I would have went with the BMW, but somehow, I get the feeling the car company is losing it's direction.   While Lexus is findig theirs.   And while that is one PLUS... the other is the dealership. I truly believe Lexus wanted to sell a car that day, and BMW didn't.   I leased this time, and Lexus has an Encore program. If this honeymoon keeps up for the next 3 years, I'd buy another one.

Replying to: is250driver (Apr 22, 2006 8:17 am) is250driver - I've had the same experience with BMW dealerships. I've owned two, a 2001 325i and a 2005 530i. Both times the local dealer wouldn't even let me drive the car - had to drive to a larger city to find a dealer interested in letting me test drive and sell the car to me.   I've also owned a couple Lexus cars - a 1996 SC 400 and a 2001 RX 300. Both times the Lexus dealers were happy to give me the keys to go drive without any hassle. The whole experience was MUCH easier with Lexus and they don't discriminate against younger (I'm 30 now) males.

Replying to: kyfdx (Apr 22, 2006 5:37 am) Only thing is, aren't Lexuses worth owning for a long time?   So if you intend to keep it past a 3-year lease for instance, you don't want to lease it right?

Replying to: pnutzlaw1 (Apr 21, 2006 8:29 am) Could you tell me what dealership in NJ offered you this deal? Thanks!
#773 of 2470 Re: Is this a great deal? [autolady1] by daman121 Apr 22, 2006 (6:11 pm)
Replying to: autolady1 (Apr 22, 2006 6:07 am) I got the same car for around 33500 with some free stuff thrown in. Try calling other dealerships and telling them about the deal you got and telling them to beat it. Keep going until you run out of dealerships or have the price you want.

Replying to: daman121 (Apr 22, 2006 6:11 pm) I paid 33,791 + T/T/L for an IS250 RWD with Premium + Nav + Summer Tires. The best offer I got was 33,574 + T/T/L but it wasn't the color combination I wanted. The best price I've heard of for this combination is 33,300. It's the end of the month now so I think playing the dealers off one another will be easier.

What kind of pricing is everyone getting for an IS350 w/ Luxury Package and Nav/Levinson in the LA/OC area? Is availability still scarce? I was asking around a few months ago but gave up b/c of limited inventory and little discount off MSRP. Should I wait until Memorial Day weekend?
#777 of 2470 ML/Nav package- IS250 by tonytouch Apr 24, 2006 (4:51 pm)
I'm looking at the options page right now. The MSRP of ML is $940. MSRP of Nav is $2550. Add them up to get $3490. However, the MSRP of the ML/Nav option package is $3990. I'm confused- why the extra $500? The content is the same.   If I want both options, should I expect the dealer to use the higher figure? Replies to this message: flashsim (Apr 26, 2006 6:07 am)
#778 of 2470 Re: ML/Nav package- IS250 [tonytouch] by flashsim Apr 26, 2006 (6:07 am)
Replying to: tonytouch (Apr 24, 2006 4:51 pm) $3990 is the VN package, which is ML and Nav, plus the ability to play DVD movie.   If you want both ML and Nav, you should order the VN package, because the ML + Nav combination does not exist.
