Hi everyone

Stopped by the dealer today to test drive the is350 fsport new model and I found that I really loved the drive of the car but frankly I think the finishes inside are a little cheap looking compared to my 2012 is250 fsport.. I love the driving the car and I love the red nulluxe seats I thought they're really nice but I thought where the silver trim is and some of the other finishes they just didn't look as nice as my 2012.

The finishes wouldn't have stopped me from pulling the trigger and getting it Cause I really love the feel of the is350. What's stop me from getting it was the ridiculous prices coming from the dealer on leases. There really isnt supposedly a program out for leasing yet nor the money factor etc. from what they told me. And coming from the fact that mine is 2012 model i am dealing with some negative equity there. The down payment and the monthly payments just werent something I wanted to get into it this time so for now until the lease rates improve I had to pass. The last price the dealer gave me was $1000 down with an $800 months payment. The car was fully loaded with the blind spot monitor and the variable and the Mark Levinson and navi everything that I want . I'm just not willing to start making any $800 dollar a month payment for that car. So I just have to wait

Has anyone else gotten any leasing prices from the dealers on this car with the ultra white with a red interior I'd like to hear what other people have been quoted and I am a four time IS 250 customer so I was kind of hoping to get a better deal but doesn't look like it's in the cards for me at this time

Would love to hear from others and thanks for your time reading this!

This happens everytime a hot new car debuts. People go and look, like what they see because it's fresh and dazzling, let the emotions take over and make an offer they never intended to make, and then are surprised the dealer/manufacturer wants 30-40% more than normal market value. For those who just have to be first on the block, the dealer will gladly pad his pockets. For the 98% of the rest of us, wait a half or full year and everything becomes justifiable again.

I always wait for all the recalls and bugs to get under control as much as possible. Which could be up to a year if I had to. Don't give into hotness.

People are paying Msrp minus $500 to $1k off. Not sure where you're getting 30-40% more.

I got a quote of $613/ month with 3500 down for an fsport 350 awd with 15k miles per year limit for 36 months. includes navi and blind spot detection.


I too felt it was a bit high for this car.

The pricing will go in line very soon with this car. Its very polarizing so the initial frenzy to own one should be quick. Better to wait it out.

Was referring to his $800/mo lease quote. What's a current 350 leasing at? Maybe in the $400-500 range?
