I think it was Tier 3 spec - HID, Nav, Prem Package, 18" Alloy, etc. That was during the last week of August and the dealer said they'd do $300 over invoice as well. Since I heard so many people were getting way below invoice for the 2009 models and dealers in my area weren't budging from their price points, I decided to take my luck on a 2010 model. Hopefully Costco/Amex auto will negotiate something good once its on their webpage =(.

What's the lowest price I should be targeting for a base model? Is it even possible to get below invoice? I'm in SoCal.

Yeah, just trying to see if there's any luck on the 2010 or just super recent ones.

Lease quote for 2009 IS350 by redlinepb

I went to a lexus dealership yesterday to get a lease quote on a 2009 IS350 and was very disappointed. Here is what the salesman quoted me.
 
MSRp - $43,250.00
selling price is $39,995.
36 month lease/ 12K a year with $1,000 total down
 
He said my payments a month would be $655 a month plus tax so close to $700 a month for the lease for a 2009 IS350.
 
when I kept asking him to tell me how he came up with that figure and what was the money factor and residual value he kept blowing me off then finally gives me the money factor for a 48 month lease which is not what i wanted.
 
residual 43% and the money factor .00180, both at 48 months.
 
He also kept trying to push the 250 on me which I did not want
Does this seem ridciulous to anyone else?

2008 IS 250 w/Navigation & Premium Pkg by marniew

Can someone please tell me if $30,000 is a good price for a CPO 2008 IS 250 w/nav and premium pkg that has 21,000 miles? I am supposed to go to the dealer's in MD today as he says price is only good for today! Dealer originally wanted $31, 500 and says $30,000 is the lowest he can go.
 
With the recall in the news, should I bargain any harder when I get there?

I've never gotten a deal thru the internet dept before, how did you approach them? Any advice on a strategy to work with the internet dept?
 
In general, are internet deals better than in person?

Not to sound rude but you approach them thru their website. Others have called the internet dept - "The give away guys"
 
Only strategy would be to have all your research done and what should be a solid offer "ready to go"
 
And yes, I have found that the internet dept does not play the 'dog & pony show' game.
