Used IS 250 by shay21

I'm in the market for a used IS 250 as I cant afford a new one right now. I was wondering if anyone knew what the going rate would be for a used/certified pre-owned IS 250 RWD with premium package and 6000 miles on it. All that I have been able to go by was one or two cars on ebay and watch how the bidding went.
 
Thanks for any help, this site is great.

I ordered my IS 350 on March 25 and it just arrived today, so the total wait was a little more than three and a half months. If benzoservceguy is correct and orders are all placed the 3rd week of the month, then obviously I just missed that deadline as well, which may have added some time to my order.

IS350 lease thoughts by antonius

I have an offer for an IS350.
 
18k mi/ 36mo lease
43900 MSRP
40000 Sale price
9200 down (trade)
53% residual (56% minus 15cents a mile for the 3000 mi over 15k a year makes it 53%)
.00275 MF
491 a month.
 
I am pretty new to leasing. Am I missing anything? Credit score is 800. Thoughts? Does a 56% residual on a 15k mile lease for an IS350 sound right? Like I said, mine is really about 53% since I have the extra 3k miles.

I don't know the specifics on the residual percentage for the IS350, but that is the one number that dealers have no control over.. It is set by the leasing company, and can't be adjusted (well...except for mileage). Your credit score has no effect, like it might on the money factor.
 
Residuals tend to drop this time of year, as we get closer to the new model year..

IS 350 by bentley306

I have two questions. The first regards price: I've received a quote of $39,850 on the IS 350 with the Sports Package (include ML and Navi), which also has the stupid spoiler on it. The MSRP is around $44,250. Is this a good price?
 
Secondly, I like the Blue Onyx color, but it appears that this color is not being made at the moment in that package. How does one go about special ordering a certain color, and so the dealers give you a hard time on the price when you special order?

It's been rumored that the IS350 will not come in Onyx Blue anymore and will be replaced by an alternative color blue, '06 cannot be ordered anymore so if you want Onyx Blue you'll have to get a custom paint job or find an '06. The $39,850 price you have is very good, most have only gotten it down to the $41k area.

Need tips to buy the IS 250? by yamaheart

Hi guys, I’m pretty new to this community and I need a lot of tips from you guys. The more the better, well I have never buy a new car before so I don’t know any about it. I’m thinking of getting that IS 250 and what are the differences between MSRP Price and Invoice price? Can I get the Invoice price instead of the MSRP prices? It seems to me that Invoice Prices are lower. And how can I find a good deal out of it. I’ve been reading all of your posts up in here and saw that u could purchase the IS250 for 31K. Is that the final price included tax or without tax? And how about road fees? Or what is the final price? If I go to the dealer and ask for a good price, what are some tips that I need to deal with that dealer? What tips do I must know to avoid getting rip off big time. If I was gonna order 1, do I need to pay the full amount or I can just do payments with some money down? Do u guys think that getting the 07 models will be better than the current 06 because of all the 06 model’s discrepancies will be corrected on the 07 models? Sorry if I ask too many questions. I just don’t know any of it and willing to learn so I can make my IS250 purchase the right way. Thank you.

IS 350 w/ Luxury Pkg for $41,288? A good deal? by cklho818

The dealer just quoted me $41,288.00 for an IS 350 w/ Luxury Pkg. Is this a good deal or not? I am thinking maybe trying to knock another $1,000 off to $40,288.00
 
What do you guys think? Is this reasonable?
 
In addition, just want to share my shopping experience while looking for the ideal Lexus IS. The recent dealer and the previous one I dealt with said that Lexus no longer accept special orders.
 
I originally tried to order an IS 250 RWD w/ Sport Pkg back on 06/26/2006. The dealer called back on July 5th said that Lexus is no longer accepting special order though they did successfully ordered one before for a client couple months back with a luxury pkg instead of the sport pkg. Is this true or they just want me to purchase one off their lots.
 
I am living in the Bay Area (SF & East Bay)California
