You should be able to get it below invoice. My friend just got his car $500 below invoice but its a IS250 08. They are trying to push out all the 2008 cars right now. You should probably wait for the 2009 but I doubt they will give much discount.

smoky dude thanks, can I get IS350 below invoice? why're they selling IS250 for less? is it because it's a weak car? I have a 255 HP crazzy *** Bimmer so going to IS250 will be an insult for my car and myself..Do you know what is invoice and mrsp?

Go to CarsDirect.com

Choose your options and it will give you a good price that you can work with at the dealership. You should be able to get it under invoice with the right knowledge on price. Don't settle!

You can also check Edmunds.com. Build your car there and see the invoice price. But do not trust the TMV, it's always wrong. Also at Edmunds, go into their forums and research the latest deals people have been getting. It gives you an idea of how much they are currently discounting the cars.
More....when you buy a car, always negotiate from the invoice, not from the sticker. I got my '08 250 for $750 under invoice. It was all done through the internet by emailing all SoCal dealers. Just have to be ready to make the purchase and be serious about it. Right now is a very very good time to get an '08, as the '09's are just around the corner and will be in more demand with the slight updating. Good luck!

Read this. It's almost like a book. After reading it, you will OWN the salesman.

I thought you were buying a BMW "for sure" because the IS is a chick car, and nothing more than a Corolla, that they make all sorts of funny noises, handle like crap, too small inside, and the quality is actually worse than BMW???

Why don't you go join a BMW forum and go ask there?

Stop feeding the damn trolls people.

if they're trying to get rid of the 2008s then they'd prob be willing to bargain on them.... just a thought
