Replying to: antonius (Jul 13, 2006 11:58 am) I work in the accounting office at a Lexus dealership and am somewhat familiar with upfronts. That is one expensive DOC fee! It is only $399 at our dealership. First payment is fine, cap cost reduction taxes are part of the upfront money, $600 acquisition fee is a standard fee charged by Lexus Financial that everyone pays but I do not remember paying it upfront in my deal. I believe they included it in the lease. "Lease Reserve" is not a term I am familiar with? Would that be the same as a Security Deposit? If so then yes it too would be part of your upfronts. I hope I was able to help.

Replying to: shay21 (Jul 12, 2006 4:49 am) Unfortunately I don't think a pre-owned IS250 is going to cost much less than a new one right now. It is still a very hot car and there are just not many pre-owned ones out there for sale. Probably by this time next year when the 08 are getting ready to come out the 06 will drop in price/value somewhat. Good luck in your search!

hey ive had my IS250 for about 2 weeks now and ive driven 640 miles... i read in the manual that the car only needs to be warmed up for the first 621 miles but i thought i remember reading some buyers drivin conservatively for the first 1000 miles, what do you guys think? Also does anyone know a good place in orange county to get a good tint job I have heard Lumar is good but I dont know where is a good place to go, thanks in advance.

#977 of 2796 Re: Has anyone been able to buy at $1,000 over invoice? [loucopits] by ronnietoys Jul 24, 2006 (5:13 am)
Replying to: loucopits (Jul 09, 2006 4:51 pm) Went to Lexus of Westport in Connecticut. I delt with a salesman who is a family member of the owner.(married to the daughter or something like that - you will find him). I custom ordered an IS250AWD with (LD)Prem/Lux pkg,(ML)MLevinson WITHOUT Nav,(HW)Headlight Washer,(LM) Trunk Mat,(GN) Cargo Net   Invoice Price + 800 including Destination Charge. Paid 34,230   Here is the breakdown: 30,168 Base AWD                          1,764 Lux Pkg                            752 ML (w/o nav)                             80 HW                             41 LM                             35 GN                            590 Destination                       PLUS 800 Dealer Mark up           Out the door $34,230 plus Tax   Silver w/ Black interior. I hope to someday soon add Sirius to the car. I want the Lexus SAT Radio but nobody seem to know anything about Sirius. The order went to Lexus June 20. I don't think the car will come in as an '07, I hope I am wrong. I'm a little upset that the car may not arrive until the end of August or even early September and it will probably be an '06. I hear that the '07's will have a "shark fin" antenna for Sat Radio (and Nav). Does anyone have any words of wisdom about the Sirius situation? (no pun intended)

Looks like you can't buy an IS250 in CA at any price with the Luxury Package, which includes HID. I was trying some zip codes at lexus.com. You can get one in Oregon but you have to buy it as a part of a $6-7k package including Nav and Mark Levinson, I believe, bringing a price around $40k.   Of course around that price, you might as well pay a bit more and get an IS350.   Looks like you might have a chance to get an ES350 for around the same price with a lot of options. OK, it probably handles poorly but you don't have to worry about an underpowered engine for a $40k car, which would be the case with the IS250 loaded with options.   Maybe Lexus will be more flexible about options for the 2007 model year. How can they cede HIDs to the 325i? The other thing is, with the reported engine upgrades for the BMW 3-series, the IS would appear to have the HP advantage the IS350 briefly enjoyed. The IS250 would be left further behind by the rumored 2007 328i sedan.   So Lexus may bump up the HP (as they've done in the past, coming up with a new model designation) and replace the IS250 with a IS270 or IS300. That would make the 2006 IS 250 an even worse deal. Replies to this message: cklho818 (Jul 24, 2006 1:24 pm)

Replying to: wco81 (Jul 24, 2006 5:14 am) Lexus already has an IS 300 for the Asia region. I checked the Lexus China website and they offer the IS 300 with the following engine output:   V6 DOHC24-Valve with Dual VVT-i Displacement: 2995cc Maximum Output (kW/rpm) 170 6,200 Maximum Torque (Nm/rpm) 300 4,400   the conversion to horsepower:   1 hp = 33,000 ft·lbf·min−1 = exactly 0.74569987158227022 kW   That would equates to approx. 227 horsepower   ********************* For reference:    http://en.lexus.com.cn/showroom/is_2005/specs.asp   and   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horse_power
