#899 of 2783 IS 250 RWD by safedistance Jun 25, 2006 (1:13 am)
Bought a IS 250 RWD, auto trans, Tungsten Pearl, basic premium, wheels, nav, accessories for $33700, MSRP $36504 at Coliseum Lexus. Good deal? It seemed pretty good, they wanted to clear their inventory and the color was decent for me.
#900 of 2783 recent price for IS 350 and help with decision! by ycamp5 Jun 26, 2006 (10:37 am)
Hi, I'm new at this posting thing but I'm getting a new car (finally!) and trading in my 97 Camry LE V4 that I had since high school! I can't decided between the C350 MB vs a 2004 or 2003 BMW 330i and the IS. The cost, of course is less with the CPO BMW but I just don't like the newer 2006 exterior of the BMWs. So here are some prices that I got from the dealerships, maybe it'll help some other buyers too.   IS 350 w/o nav, premium package, spoiler (it was on the car), 18" Alloy w/summer tires, 8% tax, OTD $39,700 Got another quote w/o the spoiler for $35,450. OTD $39,275   And the C350 sport sedan, internet fleet price $36,530, can't locate the email with the specs but MSRP was around $40 something.   Any advise? Also, the dealer that quoted the IS 350 only gave me $1500 on my trade in! On edmonds, it was fair to good which was from $2445 to 3100. I didn't buy it because i wanted to look around some more...and maybe wait for 2007 IS or BMW to come out??? How much do dealers put for trade in-s anyways because I tried to negotiate them separately and I think they're trying to recoop with the trade.   Thank you all!

Replying to: ycamp5 (Jun 26, 2006 10:37 am) ycamp,   If a dealer offers you a lower price on the new car, be careful that they are not just making it up by lowering your trade value. For someone such as yourself who is buying for the first time(?), the best thing you can do is keep the transaction simple.   Sometimes it is easier to leave your trade out of the equation. If you feel the dealer is low-balling you on your trade, check out other avenues such as Carmax. They buy your car and you don't have to buy from them. You won't always get the best price, but if a dealer is offering you bottom-dollar on your trade, it may be worth the legwork to find out.   That means, if possible, stick to one variable at a time. Negotiate a price for your new car first, and line up alternatives to dispose of your old car- whether it's private party sale, Carmax, etc.   Check out the buying tips and articles on edmunds, and also the Real World Trade Values forum. You can post the particulars of your Camry and find out from the experts what it is really worth. Replies to this message: ycamp5 (Jun 26, 2006 11:53 am)

Replying to: mleanh (Jun 26, 2006 11:35 am) Thank you for your response! I'm a first time post person on this forum but I have purchased cars before. I think I got a good deal for the car but yes, i feel they're trying to recooperate by giving me a lower than usual trade in value. I'm going to take my car to another dealership and just ask them what they would give for my car. Doing that todat actually because I have to decide on what car to buy..or wait for 2007 which released in OCT, here in AZ.

#906 of 2783 IS250 vs. 350 hp by prime203 Jun 26, 2006 (10:01 pm)
So i have been getting quotes, 40,400 for a loaded is350 which i dont think i can afford, and 33,800 for a 250 with nav, which from what i have been reading on this forum is pretty good. my questions to owners is, i live in a mountainous area I wanted to know how the IS250 would hold up on pretty steep hills and if turning on the AC take out a substantial bite out of the power (as it has in my previous cars - landcruiser, toyota previa, infiniti fx35) thanks.

Replying to: prime203 (May 14, 2006 11:33 pm) Buy a manual transmission and don't be worried about lack of or loss of power   That should solve your problem. Don't know how to drive a manual?? ... take a class .. they're inexpensive. Just look in the yellow pages under driving schools.   AHHH. there is NOTHING like having 3 pedals on the floor!!
