I have been exchanging in emails with dealerships in socal.
Here are some of the quotes I got for IS250 RWD auto, premium package, no Nav.
Lexus of Glendale - $32,088
Jim Falk Lexus - $31,600
Longo Lexus - $31,500.
 
Do you think I can go lower than these?
 
Also Have anyone had experience with Costco Auto buying service?

I'd think you could do at least $33,041, that would be $1k over invoice.
 
The two most competitive I've found are Jim Falk/Beverly Hills Lexus & Westminster (internet sales division).

i was told by a dealer that I am required to get a package on an IS. And also that the IS with a premium package is the base model IS 250. Is this correct?

Wow man, this will be the deal I will look forward to get as well. I recall you got this deal from the dealershop Redwood City, CA correct? Could I get the name of dealer also? I've seen couple threads on this but it seems that they've gotten replies privately.
 
Thanks a lot!
 
Just to confirm, this is loaded IS350 which supposely has MSRP of around 44k+?

Try the fleet/internet dept LEXUS of VALENCIA.
 
Give him the quotes you've got and they probably can work with you.
 
I know they wored with me and I was EXTREMELY happy wit hthe service & treatment I got.
 
We special ordered a:
6 speed m/t
sports pak
G-Spyders
matador mica red w/ black interior
 
Waited 5 months (WORTH THE WAIT) couldn't be happier
 
Got 2K off of sticker (works out to be about 2,300 to 2,500 OVER invoice)
 
GOOD LUCK

Ummm I hate to break this to you but replacing the timing belt is considered a maintenance item and won't be covered under your extended warranty. Belts, hoses, brake pads, rotors, tires, etc are all maintenance items that are not covered. Extended warranties only cover mechanical issues. My husband is a service advisor and knows for a fact that these items are not covered. The good news is you can cancel that warranty and receive a 100% refund if you do it right away. Just wanted to let you know....

Actually, Lexus does not use a timing belt (as I had said before to brooklynjulie) they use chains, and since chains are mechanical, they MIGHT be covered by an xtended warranty. BUT the warranty company might 1) require a tear down to verify the failed component (which of course, the expense is on the customer) 2) require an inspection to VERIFY the failure.
Now, when was the last time you heard of a Lexus breaking a timing chain?
A Jaguar, yes, cause I've seen it and the CP $$ are ugly (if your the customer) or very healthy (if your the store/advisor)but since it is mechanical, they MIGHT pay (depending on company & level of coverage)
Plus, most stores will ask the client for diagnostic times or estimates ($$) before any work is even done regardless of the warranty purchased. That way, if the warranty company declines, the tech still gets paid.
Do yourself a favor ... cancel the warranty and get your money back .. with a Lexus, you WON'T need it. Take that money & put it in an CD or investment account and in 4 yrs (when the warranty is up)the money in that account should more than cover a major repair (if even needed)on your Lexus.
Hey Lexusgirl1, you work for Lexus & your hubby for Honda. Ever get into the "whose got better quality" issue debate?
If you can't already tell, I "share your passion" for the industry - just look at my "screenname". I would love to "swap war stories" but don't want you or I to post e mail address in such a public forum. Do you have a "car site" e mail address we could xchange ideas into?
