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)

When is the 07 coming to dealers. Have you seen any info on it yet. Can't seem to locate anything on the internet about the 07 IS350.

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.

San Jose deals? by dilbertic

I am looking to buy a IS250 and so far the cheapest I have seen from the local dealers is 33,500.00 with nav on a 2006. Costco sent me to the San Jose dealer and I thought maybe redwood city might have a better deal?
 
Also, is it worth ordering a 2007? I have no problem waiting, since I have another car at home I can use till it comes in? I am looking at a Grey IS250 with Nav, Auto trans rear wheel drive, even thought he AWD sounds better
 
Thanks, Dil

Only advantage in ordering a 2007 might be that you might be able to get certain options like HID, which you can't get at all for the IS250 in CA.
 
Or at least, dealers around here don't want to custom order it. Carsdirect lists the option and I think Edmunds may as well. But Lexus shows the Luxury Package which is the only way to get HID as unavailable for the IS250. In other states, you can only get the Luxury Package with NAV and ML and it comes out to $6k or $7k.
 
If they're smart, they will make it an a la carte option and put it on most of the cars they ship to dealers.
