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?

Has anyone been able to buy at $1,000 over invoice? by loucopits

Since July 1, has anyone been able to buy an IS250 AWG for no more than $1,000 over invoice? I'm not looking for a specific dealership, just want some idea of how hard to push a local dealer.
 
Thanks!

hey guys, so this forums been insanely helpful, ive been following since september... just got my IS250 with nav, premium, spoiler, accessory package, 18inch rims (smokey granite w/ black interior) for 33,000......... thats a great deal from what ive been reading. I got it from Lexus if Newport Beach, just opened a week ago and they have a pretty good selection and are willing to deal (btw beautiful dealership... makes fletcher jones mercedes look like sh*&). Oh and some people were debating about the standard sound system before... we have a SC430 and LS430 with mark levinson and in my opinion the standard IS250 sound system sounds better (not to say it sounds better than the surround sound systems now available in the IS/GS/ES) but def better than the older generation ML sound systems IMO...

Ok...this sounds like the most amazing deal I've researched so far on the IS250. Was that a CAP COST reduction due to money you put down on the car or did you have minimal drive off? I will definitely call them. Did you lease or buy? If lease, do you mind sharing what your residual value, money factor and after tax payment was, so I can try to get a similar deal? If you have a salesperson you dealt with, I would be happy to give him my business as well.
