here's what the lady said over at edmunds
Last night i almost bought a car for only 2000 under dealer invoice on a basice is 250,
Luckily i read the forum and decided to ask around today, well tonight, we went to Redwood city and checked out their stock, Not only did they beat the initial price we were gonna by an is250, 33,900 with Nav/etc, but they also wanted a deal TONIGHT, so we got an IS350 instead, Black on Black leather, sportpkg,ML/Nav system prem audio and Nav package, park assist frnt/bk, Headlamp washers, preferred accessory pkg.,and Rear Lip Spoiler add (395.00)
total of $8800+ in upgrades, MSRP 44,900
dealer invoice $39,500 got for $39,900
Is this a good deal? Hope so, because i put down a bit and also they threw in a lot of freebies.
We drove it tonight and my husband LOVES the speed the 350 puts out!

Hmmm...seems too good to be true...My first question would be how many miles on the car. Some dealers use the cars for a little and then try to sell it off as being "new." My concern would be if the car was damaged either in transport or on the lot. Or finally, the person is just BS-ing because as is reflected on this board these cars are still in high demand with people still ordering them.

Face it the deals are going to start popping up. Toyota/Lexus wants to move these cars in volume, unlike the IS300 fiasco, and although this car is still relatively hot the end of the model year approaches and the temptation for buyers is to wait for a 2007.
Now looking at her deal (assuming she is legit):
1. $39,900 was $400 OVER invoice not invoice.
2. Edmund's shows and invoice of $38,532 for the car minus the preferred access pack and the spoiler.
I doubt that she just walked in off the street and had that deal fall into her lap. However, if somebody did thier homework and played dealers against one another (like you can in Lexus saturated California) just might be able to pull that deal off. They want to move the cars.
Put it this way, I wouldn't immediately cry BS if somebody told me they got that deal.:

Hello, I think what she got was pretty reasonable. I bought my Lexus IS350 for $40K even. and msrp was 44,300...my car has the Luxury package 18 inch rims and NAV/ML. I probably could have talked them down to 39K but I felt I was getting a good deal on it anyways and jumped right on it. Took 30 minutes to do the negotiations. This was near the end of may...so i think they were trying to meet their quote. who knows...everybody is happy anyways. Just my 2cents

It's very possible they had an End of Month quota to meet. They'd rather only make a few hundred on the car and meet the quota rather than sell the car at a profit of a few thousand and miss the quota.
