Hello all

Over the last 2 days I have e-mailed 20-30 dealerships across the southeast looking for a deal on an remaining 2006 IS250/350. The best deal I have gotten so far has been 1500 under MSRP $36,315.00 for the following package.

Year: 2006
IS250
Prem. Package
Navigation System Package
18" Wheel w/Summer tires

$34800 before TTL

I know that they can do better than that.

2006 or an 2007 model does not matter to me, but the big problem is that all the dealers I have e-mail are quoting MSRP or only $500 off their 2007. For the people who live in the southeast what prices are you see for remaining 06 and new 07.

Thank you kindly for any help you can give

I got the car in my sig for 3500 off MSRP drive out was 39908, this was in the last days of august so they were probably able to cut a better deal, if you can wait you should hang around until the end of the month when they are more flexible on the pricing

Ouch, they gave you that price for a 2006?? I woudl push for a lower deal. I got the same car as you (without nav) for $33k OTD! If i added nav to that, add on maybe another ~1500. Still lower than you're deal. I say keep fighting and get it lower

Good luck!

Thats almost the price of my 06. I say push for lower price.

My wife call our sale lady last night and she still sticking with only $1000 off MSRP for a 06

they'll go down more...lori was the sales lady in baton rouge that offered $2000 off...maybe ask for her...even n.o. offered $1500 off...$2000 is still not much off for an 06 compared to what other people on here been getting recently, but probably pretty decent in louisiana.

wait until the end of the month, which is supposedly when 07s start hitting the lots, they will crack a lot more when this happens

ABC

True, but with negotiating the price, i figure you could probably get $500+ off of that add-on.

macintoshs

Thats' the thing they already have 5 or 6 2007 on the lot

Yep...we got to choose between five 2007 models and two leftover 2006 models when we were looking for a 250. We ended up with a Matador Red on Black 250 with Premium, NAV, and 18's.

MSRP $36.5K...negotiated price $32.8K
