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.

Any Recent Purchase in Colorado or Washington State? by aztudio

I'm not sure which thread would be best to post this, so I've posted this in the lease thread as well. Sorry for the duplicate.
 
I'm in the market for the IS 250 AWD, with Nav & Luxury Package. The quote I have from a dealership here for a 48mths/15,000mile lease is:
MSRP: $39,824
Sale price: $36,998
Residual Value: 46% $18,318
Money Factor: .00285
$570.69/month before taxes. (With my own calculation it should've come up to $546.79/month)
  
Has anyone out there made a recent lease transaction in colorado? I'm relocating to redmond/seattle area in washington, so if anyone from Colorado or Washington State had just recently leased the IS250 AWD, with Nav & Luxury, could you please share what offer you got?
  
My relocation includes the shipping of my car so I could purchase from either Colorado or Washington.
  
Thanks in advance for any help! I've been following this forum for a few weeks and I've learned a lot.....

$39,824 seems like a strange number for an MSRP... Usually they end in increments of $5..
 
Are you adding on the cost of accessories, or something else? Possibly, there is something added in there that isn't residualized. Did they give you that residual dollar amount, or are you extrapolating it from the residual percentage quoted?
 
Another possibility is they are adding the acquisition fee on to the selling price, resulting in a higher CAP cost.
 
Otherwise, your calculations seem to be correct.. I come up with $546.xx also...
 
regards,
kyfdx

Ok thanks kyfdx! The only accessory I requested is the all weather mats so I think you're right, it's probably the acquisition fee. Based on what you've heard, do you think it's a pretty good deal or is there a chance for me to still get a better offer?
 
And I guess I will open up my question, I would like to know about anyone (from any state) that just recently leased the is250AWD with luxury and navi?, hopefully I would be able to compare my offer.
