Looking to buy a new IS350 F Sport!
Hi guys, I'm in the market of buying a new car very soon and chose IS350 with F Sport + Navi to be my next car. I emailed couple dealerships near by to get some quote and they pretty much offered it as MSRP. I responded by saying I thought you guys would be more competitive than that since there are many dealerships through out Southern Cali and they all pretty much used the tsunami hitting Japan and cars are limited at the moment card. If anyone know any Sale Rep that won't play any games and offer it at invoice or less, that would be great! I'm not in a hurry as I'll be buying the car near end of June but would like to know a couple of dealerships that are willing to work it out with me. Thanks guys!

Its true most dealers are dealing close to or at MSRP because the inventory of cars are low nationwide. To be honest, this is not a buyers market right now. The laws of supply and demand do exist and this is a perfect example. Right now the demand is high and supply is low. Unless you can ride the wave out until later or after this summer, you're going to have a difficult time to get a killer deal, even here in Southern California.

Yup I emailed multiple dealers again if they can provide me the best price near the invoice and Longo was the only one that emailed me back saying Thanks. Bye. Only 1 dealership has provided me $400+ invoice so far. I haven't heard from Glendale so I'll give it a shot later. I still have a month or two so I guess I can wait until supply goes up a bit. I hate car shopping !

I did think about a used IS-F but I'm one of those people that are paranoid on used vehicles. Since I don't know what the previous owner did to the car, I'll be constantly worrying about something breaking down so.. I rather buy a new vehicle to have some peaceful mind.

Hmm the out of 6 dealerships I emailed, only 1 didn't have it on stock. Glendale actually said they have couple and get some monthly and same goes for the one that quoted me has it as well. It's Southern CA, there's dealerships left and right lol

I always see several at Longo. I do know for a fact they have them because I saw one IS350 in Starfire parked behind a Ultrasonic..unsure if that was 350 or 250 from my visit last weekend. Longo is the largest in the Western USA so its natural they will have the inventory. They sell 500+ cars on average a month where the next closest is barely at 250 cars a month and that usually is a fight between Cerritos, Santa Monica and Glendale for all of California.
