I just picked up my IS250 RWD last wednesday, great car!!, great handling, acceleration not that powerful, very roomy (in the front only of course, forget the rear, it is gone) I am 6'4" 275#
 
For me the only way to get an improved discount at this point was getting a car out of their inventory. 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... )

Wait? The car doesn't come with standard tinted windows? Well at least you got it for free. Also is it true that the side mirrors actually fold in? Thanks!

Of course the car comes with standard tinted windows. Many people want their windows tinted much darker than the factory tint, so they pay extra to have a dark film applied to the windows.

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've got a darker tinted windows which according to their invoice should've cost me $250 more, go figure, I will check if the mirrors fold, I just got the car 3 days ago!
 
By the way the size of the side mirrors is great!

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.

Yeah I agree as well, I am waiting till May or June of next year when (I hope prices might drop) and satellite radio is available. I hope they have Sirius rather than XM since i have friends who perfer Sirius over XM. Also by then they will have extra acessories to IS. Plus if you like convertibles, there might be word on an IS convertible (I hope its true!)

I got a $500 discount on MSRP. With the nav package, it came out to 37,116. I'm financing it for 60 months and got a 5.9% rate.

Hey apg3 Where and when did you buy your 250 in Chicago? I'm looking to get one soon and was thinking I'd have to settle for sticker.
