Default Maybe getting IS350

Well, it has come down to the point where I am getting very bored with my 05' Acura RL. I have discussed the IS with Kensteele several times and he has really convinced me now Assuming I can sell off my RL and get out of our RX300 lease, the Lexus dealer is offering $200 above invoice on a new RX330 and "at least" $500 off sticker for the IS350 (loaded). I know there has been a lot of discussion on the price of the IS. Do you think I should push for more than $500 off the IS350? The only reason he even said anything about the $500 off is because I want to get both cars from them at once.

did you not like the RL? my brother has an 05 RL and I have driven it many times. its an outstanding car, but then again if you are looking for more performance the IS 350 is the way to go. the only downside i can think of is losing a huge backseat and AWD. good luck...

I got $500 off MSRP. So if your buying two cars, I think you should be able to get a little more off.

trusting forbes with car decision is even worse than trusting Motortrend :-).
