Looking for IS350 in the DFW area...

So I emailed my salesman in Grapevine the other day and he basically told me what you all are telling me, Lux pkg is not available in the region and to go to Lexus.com and build my vehicle with my zip code. Honestly, the options I must have are Nav/HID's/ventilated seats and 18" summer tires. All the rest I could not care less about. As far as colors goes, I'm not too picky either, obsidian is always a favorite, but is it the Glacier frost mica that has a different hue depending on the angle you look?, smoky granite mica would also be my top choice as well. When I configured with the premium pkg with the Nav and preferred acc. pkg.MSRP came out to $42412 with destination included. Is it out of the question to get this car for say...3500-4000 off MSRP???
It just boggles my mind that this is the third year cycle and I feel like I'm gonna be hunting a white elephant. Any thoughts you guys have would be appreciated...
Yeah! About your icon, is that restaurant somewhere here in Dallas? I damned near rolled out of my chair. Looks like there are some viet folks in here....

The only advice I can give other than what's already stated is that if you're going to put a a couple thousands for a down payment, might as well get the Lexus Visa & charge it on there so you can get all the points to use at the dealership for oil changes, etc. then pay the Visa card at the end of the 1st month. Most dealerships will let you charge up to $5k I think.LOL, I hear that pho restaurant is either in L.A. or Seattle somewhere. Supposedly there's another place called, "What the Pho" haha!

TxLex...I'm looking to buy new though them Spyder wheels are mighty sweet, why you want to get rid of such a sweet ride?

Taylor...I testdrove the only IS350 they had in Grapevine last week and it did have Nav and chrome wheels....maybe they got another one in?? Speaking of which, this car left me with a grin from ear to ear when I walked off the lot. ALso test drove the G37 and am still trying to make up my mind but defintely leaning towards the IS...I think it just fits me better as I'm a small guy and the G feels bloated. It handles well but just feels big. Anyhow...hope you guys got some wisdom for me as I'm sorta worried I gotta save a little more money than I originally had planned for.

Ok...so my salesman calls today and says he has 1 SGM with graphite interior coming in the next 10 days or so, premium/nav/no-ML. Says I can get it for 3,000 off msrp. He says this is his "internet" price as I'm a repeat customer of his. What do you guys think? Should I jump on this? From hearing what you guys have to say, it sounds like I should. Apparently IS350's with Nav in the DFW area is quite rare, he's got 2 coming in for december for 2 dealerships.

Leotno, IS350 with nav for around 35k? are you serious? If you do get that deal, let me know!!! black is a sweet color but I won't fight you for it 
. Grapevine has been courteous to me so I'll give them the first chance to earn my business, if you do happen to get that deal, might give me a chance to bargain down the price.
Buds, needless to say I was quite relieved when he told me straight off the bat 3 k off MSRP for internet pricing, I thought I'd have to fight and claw my way to that price point in the first place.
I'm looking at right about 42 OTD for this car. Arrgh, difficult to make a decision, torn with excitement and reservation right now between wanting this sweet car and not making an impulsive decision. I've got a weekend to think about it I suppose.
