IS 350 Purchase in MA by flannery13
Jul 28, 2006 (4:59 am)

Just purchased a cystal white IS 350 from Lexus of Norwood. I had visited Watertown, Northborough and sent emails to others in MA area. Norwood had the most vehicles in stock and met my best price from other dealers. They where all on par with each other in terms of a time spent negotiating themselves a higher profit. Norwood was the most responsive and honest of the dealers and now that I have purchased the vehicle their after sales follow-up (reg., inspection, walking me through how to program bluetooth phone, etc.) has been great. I would reccomend Norwood if looking to buy an IS in MA.

Putnam offered me dealer cost plus $1,000 on Friday through the Costco program. They said the Costco price would have been $1,400 over dealer cost, but since it was end of month they would go for $1,000 over. I think this worked out to be $31,023 before T&L for a 2006 IS 250 with premium package plus 18" wheels, cargo net, and mats (supposedly this is the standard package around here). The only problem was they didn't have tungsten on black and they said it would be hard to find one, so I might wait for the 2007's.

Just wanted to reply to this message based on my recent experience at a North Carolina Lexus dealership:
 
Had a trade-in (Accord Coupe 03 EX V6) with a net negative trade-in (i.e. value minus payoff) of $660. Was in negotiations for a Basic IS 250 RWD automatic(no other options other than the 18" summer tires). Salesguy I was negotiating with for almost three weeks started offering me OTD price of $33200 for a Blue Metallic colored one with Preferred package options installed and he would not budge (this was sometime around middle of July '06). I shift gears and instead ask for a Basic IS 250 auto RWD
and he offers OTD price for a Silver colored one for $32,000 and I am asking for $30,000. He calls me a week later to confirm if I will bite but I am not budging.
 
Incidentally, emailed same dealer's Internet manager looking for a Basic IS 350 last week. He offers a Blue Onyx (with no options) for $32,000 plus tax/tags/license (I live in Virginia) but he has yet to appraise my trade-in though. This was sometime last Thursday (July 27). I have not called him back since then after I tried to haggle $500 off his car's price (he wouldn't budge).
 
In any case, I'm still here enjoying my Coupe hehehe. Will wait for demand to come down on price still.......patience is a virtue of course.
 
PS: No high-pressure tactics done on my salesguy experience in the dealership...he did bring in a closer followed by a manager (both discussions lasted only around 5 minutes tops, tone of conversation was fine)

To the best of my knowledge the factory retools for the new model in late july - early August. '07's should start to roll out of the factory in late August for arrival in a USA port by mid-Sept

Test drove a base AWD IS250 w/o options today. Mentioned the Golden Opportunity Sales to the dealer and was offered 2,500 off MSRP? Is this a good deal? Will the December to Remember sales better than this? Thanks!

I absolutely hate the car buying process with sales people, so the $500 probably wouldn't be worth it to me.
 
I have to decide if want to have a convertible out of warranty or a sedan with all the toys.
 
It sounds like the IS is a winner. It is FAR MORE than just a sedan.

I just signed the papers for an IS250 RWD last night at Magnussen's in Fremont (bay area). Premium package, nav, tungsten pearl on black leather for $33,300 before taxes. Trade in of 7K and 60 months APR 5.89%. I consider my deal only slightly better than average.
