I find it hard to imagine kids with jobs that pay them anywhere around 1k+ a week while still in highschool full time. Anyways, enjoy your Hummer. Pun intended!

I remember reading a post talking about possible discounts during the Lexus Dec. to remember sales. Does anyone have any ideas what these may be? Better discounts from MSRP, finance rates? Will it be better to still wait a few months for the hype to die down, or can deals be had during the specials in Dec? Also I live in Chicago area and they aren't offering the Luxury package with 18's without the ML system (which I don't need), only the Premium with 18's and no ML. Does that mean I'm SOL to get the Lux package and no ML, or can Lexus get that car for me? Don't want to talk with dealer until I get all the "real" world info I can. Thanks |

I didn't have any luck in Miami-Orlando-Forth Myers getting no more than $750 off sticker, however finally the dealer in Margate FL agreed to discount $900, final price $31748 + tag + tax. The only 250 rwd package avaialable in South Florida comes with 18" wheel plus a set of useless stuff for a 35 year old man (mat, net, etc). msrp $32664 Strangely, the salespersons let me know (when the deal was done) that my car was their first IS250 sale!! they were even unfamiliar with some basic features when deliverying, I assume the sales of this car are not as hot as they claim when you ask them for a better deal. Or maybe hurricane Wilma really hurt them. In the end I am VERY happy with this car, my recommendation, any patient buyer should wait until January to save some bucks. and If you can go for the 350. finally it is amazing but in the Miami area I have seen only 2 IS on the roads, a "glacier frost mica" 250 and mine (beatiful white)! I wonder, is this car REALLY hot or is it too expensive I am one of the few new fools to pay close to sticker in this part of the country? (by their mistake i've got a free window tinting, I guess that makes me feel less guilty...  )

| I need quick info. Did I over pay. IS250 no cap cost reduction, I pay my taxes upfront. AWD with NAV 36 months. 525/month. It seems to be inline but not sure. | |

| I agree about this car being too hyped. I live in Orlando and I haven't seen a single 2006 IS on the road (and I travel a lot). Yet, I've talked to dealers in Orlando, Melbourne, and Tampa and they all give me ridiculous quotes $500 or more above MSRP. One dealer had a demo car with over 1500 miles on it and they STILL wouldn't go below MSRP on it. Who are they selling these cars to? I even bought my wife's RX330 at the Orlando dealership at (below INVOICE) in March (cash), and they won't do anything for me. I think it's all hype. Stay patient and the deals will come. | |
