IS 250 RWD by spygirl4

IS 250 RWD with Navigation, premium package, 18" wheels, smoky granite mica exterior/black interior. i paid $1,500 over invoice, $33,791 for a total of $36,946.22 after T/T/L.
 
in my research i found that tungten silver and black are the most available colors and smoky and white are the most sought after colors, so there might be a premium for the color you want. i initially got a price that was $650 lower (thanks to a referral by chubbuni13) but they didnt have the color i wanted and i didn't deal with the guy that he did. i got the epitome of a dishonest car salesman, he even had slicked hair... cliche! anyway, he took my deposit and never delivered the color i wanted, only pressuring me to come in and look at the black cars he had on the lot.
 
so i went to a different dealer, Jim Falk Lexus of Beverly Hills, CA. no hidden fees, no jerking around, no sales tactics, no pass off to a finance manager. no trying to sell me things i don't need, only nice friendly service. i only dealt with one person, the internet manager who was very nice and respectful, personable, and a pleasure to work with. he took my call and reserved a car for me over the phone, no deposit. he said i didn't have to make a decision until i saw the car and sat in it. it took over two weeks for the car to come in but he was in constant contact with me the whole time. i'm glad that i waited. it's beautiful! :o)

How much did he quote you? I'm near by, and it wouldn't hurt to hear from someone who's gone through there already!

Wife & I Special Ordered an IS 250 with manual (6 Speed tranz) and Sports Package. Was originally told car was not being built or could not be built. Almost all the salespeople were saying that "it's not available that way, there's no way to get that car built that way"
Anyway 4 months later (slight delay; should have only taken 3) we anticipate delivery this Sat/Sun June 17/18
(FATHERS DAY ) or Thursday June 22nd (LAUSD graduation day )
Our price was $32,005 (plus taxes, tages etc) which equates to $2,046 OVER Invoice or $2,300 OFF of MSRP (sticker)
An AWESOME experience so far dealing with the Internet manager from LEXUS OF VALENCIA.
Good Luck!!

hey everyone so ive been interested in an IS350 with nav, premium, and 18s (in socal) and been getting quotes in the mid 37k range... i got a call from a dealer telling me that they just got a IS350 special order with nav and ml sound but no 18 inch wheels or premium package for 37... id love the surround sound system but dont know if its worth giving up the premium package and if the 17inch wheels will make a huge difference in the handeling... any feedback from owners or potential buyers? thanks.

I finally got my new IS250 AWD Saturday, and I love it! Here are my particulars:
 
sticker $35,169
cap cost $33,269
additional $3000 cap cost reduction
total upfronts $3800 (covered by trade-in equity)
monthly payment (3yr/45K miles) $441 exact
 
I know this is not as good as some people on here, but I am satisfied. I had a trade in that they gave me a decent price, and I wanted a certain color (glacier frost) that was not readily available. All in all, I am pleased. Thanks!

Lexus IS 250 RWD Pricing? by rshocka

Is $34,000 for a 250 RWD with Navigation and Premium package on a black on black in the socal area a good price? I've worked down from MSRP of $36,504, but I'm having a hard time b/c no one has this car in stock! This is to purchase a car on the lot right now.
 
Please help

Northern California recommendation by rreis

I am ready to buy a IS350 but our top color choices are Desert Sage or Smokey Granite - both uncommon colors. I have contacted several dealers around Palo Alto, CA and once they hear what colors I want, I get the usual BS about "they don't make the IS350 in these colors" or "I have checked the national inventory (supposedly) and there is nothing available in the entire country".
 
I am willing to pay for transportation if we find the right car. Can someone recommend a professional Lexus dealer who doesn't mind doing a little searching to make his money?
 
Thanks,
