We got our IS350 yesterday :) by lucygator

We're from Jacksonville, FL and had to go to Fort Myers to see somebody. We figured while we were down there we would stop by the FIVE lexus dealers that are on the way there and back home, since lexus of Jacksonville wouldn't budge from MSRP and LIED to us about the price on a IS250 w/ navi. They are incredibly rude, not even a greeting when we walked into the place. You could stand outside for five hours and no one would come up to you and ask if you needed help.
 
Well anyway, after running our errand in Fort Myers, it was only 9 am and we decided to stop by Scanlon Lexus of Fort Myers since it was only twenty minutes away. We wanted a black on black IS250 with navi, but they only had one with beige interior. So, we sat there and we were like well, you don't have what we want and if you order it, then we won't get as much of a good deal. SO they brought around an IS350 black on black. We were like okay, that's why we didn't want it because we didn't feel like the extra G's were worth the horsepower.
 
To make a long story short (and I hate it when people aren't clear on just what they got):
IS350 (msrp 35440)
-navi (msrp 2550)
-premium plus package (msrp 1290)
-18 inch wheels w/ summer tires (msrp 720)
TOTAL MSRP 40,590 (delivery fee incl.)
We got it for $36,200 (not inc tax,etc)
 
My fiancee and I's first time buying a car and we're in our very early twenties. We will not only remember the experience because it was our first car purchase, but because this dealership is absolutely amazing. The salesman was absolutely delightful and the finance manager was very friendly and welcoming as well. ALso, they give you the most amazing box of chocolates (almost as awesome as the car) by Norman Love Confections. MMM!!

Which dealership has 8 IS 350s? Every dealer I spoke to told me they didn't have any on the lot.

IS350 - 2006 or 2007 by jsteinwald

A couple of questions:
 
1) Has anyone tried CarsDirect and is there price good? I am looking to buy and priced a 2006 IS350 with Luxury Package, Navi/ML, Preferred Accessory Package, Parking Assist, and Rear Spoiler... MSRP of $45,284.. their price is $41,873. I spoke with the sales rep and he could get the car in Black exterior/Black interior within a day or so. Is this a good deal or would I do better to try a dealer? If so, any recommendations in the Los Angeles area?
 
2) For people who are putting in special orders for 2007 vehicles, what deals are you able to negotiate? Is a deposit required, and if so, is it refundable?
 
3) Has anyone test drove a sports package equipped IS350 and a luxury package equipped IS350. I couldn't find one with a sports package in my area to test drive. Is the handling that much stiffer on the sports package? What are the primary difference in ride feel?
 
Thanks,
Josh

Hi,
 
I just got my IS 350 w/ the Luxury Package, Navi/ML, Preferred Accessory Package, rear sun shade, rear lip spoiler, HID Headlamp(AFS), & 18" wheels for $40,688 in the Bay Area; the dealership originally quoted me $41,888.
 
I haven't driven the Sport Pkg before but heard that it will be a bit bumpy like a BMW ride quality. I myself prefer the more comfort ride because most freeways are pretty roughed up here in the Bay Area.
