Not great, but not terrible either... ML can be hard to find in certain areas

From two places I talked to, sounds like the 350 UW/RR is going to have to be shipped from somewhere or traded far away - not sounding too promising to get any kind of awesome deals on. Having a 250 for a few years until the rumored turbo doesn't sound too bad!

When I started emailing dealers, I came up with a price in mind out the door and see what there offer was based on the color you wnated. I just configed the lexus I wanted on the lexus site or at the dealership site. Then I sent them an email and the price that you have in mind and then see if they can match or their best offer. I emailed ALOT of dealerships, it seemed that orange county and santa monica was very receptive to talking.

In all honesty don't even bother wasting time with dealers... An auto broker will do all the work for you through his/her connections and get you the best deal no hassle.

Default IS350 F-Sport AWD Chicago

I am looking to buy a Black on Black IS350 F-Sport (AWD) with NAV and BSD. My dealership offered to sell me a car at $1K under invoice. Does anyone know if this is a good price for the Chicago market? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My girlfriends family bought a new IS250 ultra white F-sport. I don't remember the details but the MSRP was roughly $43,500ish. OTD including TTL was $41,800.

Sounds high. You should be around 375-390 a month. How many months and miles is this lease? What's the negotiated sales price of the car??

Hi I'm new here and planning on getting a 2015 IS250 f sports. I wanted to know the people from NC, how much they paid for theirs? Since I'm planning getting the f sports package, navigation system package, and illuminated door sills, Since this is gonna be my first Lexus I'm gonna be purchasing. I would appreciate it a lot if you guys can help me out.

I'm not from NC, but the general guide is to email multiple dealers in your area with your interest. Get their "best" price from them and go from there. I'm not sure about your area, but try to aim for 12-13% off MSRP. Are you leasing or buying?

Wow if that sounds high then I guess I got kinda screwed on my lease then.

$380 a month 36 months 10k a year. They weren't coming down at all on the price of the car.

LOL, go to auto brokers, guys. I got my IS250 base for $260 a month (tax included) and 2 grand down. A 350 F Sport lease goes for around 2 grand down, 340 a month.
