Official Discount off MSRP poll
This thread is in conjunction with the "What price did you pay" poll, and will give us a good idea of what kinds of discounts people have been able to negotiate.

Mine is I went to the dealer where I had ordered the car two months prior with a letter from another dealer offering $2,500 discount. They wouldn't match it so I was ready to walk and reorder at the other place. Finally they asked what they could do to keep my business as they wouldn't budge off MSRP even after seeing my letter. I said add the $2,500 to what you are giving me for my trade in. They did. I was happy with that because I didn't want to have to start over after waiting two months.
I answered this survey as paid MSRP. Frankly I'm happy and that is what counts.

That may not have been the case in TX but it was certainly the case here. Trust me, I did my research. You can see that a bunch of people did pay MSRP. When I almost bought an S4, I got down to $6k off MSRP. It wasn't gonna happen with the IS350. The dealer had a list of people who would take the car if I didn't pay MSRP for it. They were not bluffing.

This is my first time trying to negociate or buying a new car. when you have a trade-in, do the dealers take KBB values or lower than KBB? It seems like a lot of people getting good discounts on the new IS. How do you get it so low? Anybody here in NOVA bought a car from pohanka or lindsay lexus? and how much discounts? any helps is appreciated.
