Haha I currently drive a WRX STI, if it was me I'd go for the 350 as well but seeing as this car will be for her I think the 350 is overkill for her since she drives like a turtle.

I just want to say thanks again for your help, I've learned a lot about leasing!

We will most likely go for the 350/month. Would be nice to go for 300/month but I think that's overdoing it and the dealer is running out of patience hahah.

Thank you again!

Sounds like a pretty good deal - $5k off msrp is good for an IS250 in PA.

When that college grad rebate is factored in, you should be down to under 310 - your girl's getting a great car for an Accord like payment!

I don't think you'll do much better, even if you wait - you might squeeze another $10-15 if you wait til the weekend.

Sounds like you're close.

Quoted the wrong person earlier lol

Yea I just notice the college grad rebate is a no go since she graduated in 09. Going to see if I can push it down to 300 / month. I just get nervous if I keep waiting too long this deal might be voided.

That's gonna be tough - you'll need to negotiate another $1200 off the sale price. That gets you to about 302.

I got it $44,500 OTD (after everything)

I just closed on a 2015 IS 350 F-Sport! Purchased in San Antonio yesterday. Anyone care to chime in on my deal?

• IS 350 (RWD), UW/RR
• F-Sport Package
• Blind Sport Monitor
• VGRS
• Navi
• Trunks Mat, Cargo Net, Wheel Locks, Rear Bumper App
• MSRP: $47,919
• Price Before TTL: $43,075
• OTD Price: $46,133

Test drove both the 250 F-Sport and 350 F-Sport and went with the 350. I had a hard time deciding between the ultra white and nebula grey but ended up going with the UW because I fell in love with the color despite knowing it's going to be a PITA to keep clean!

not the best deal, but still a very good deal. congrats!

By the way, is it worth it to get any of the upgraded services? 8 year, 100,000 mile extended warranty for $2,600? $900 for what I believe was 8 year scratch and dent protection? What about $1,500 for included servicing for 50,000 miles and 5 years? I declined all of them but was told the pricing is good for a week if I change my mind.

Silver/black interior. Not sure what package this would fall under, but has Mark Levinson, BSM...? It was a lease vehicle but the previous guy put an after market intake and exhaust on it which is surprising considering it was a lease in its previous life.

Just picked up the 2015 IS350 F Sport. I feel I got a good deal from Sterling McCall Lexus in Houston.

Negotiated price: $43919 ($4k off)
$450 per month for 27mo, $2500 down
73% residual @ 10k miles per year
MF: negotiated the buy rate at .00105

Cheers!

That's a pretty sick deal. You are going to love the car... one of my favorites. Here's our review.

Hi,

I'm currently looking to purchase a new 2014 or 2015 F-sport IS350. I've been emailing a local dealer and this is what they quoted me:

- NEW 2014 IS350 RWD F-Sport UltraWhite / RR
- F-Sport exhaust (+ $2,000 dealer option)
- F-sport cold-air intake (+ $750 dealer option)
- Carbon Fiber wrapped roof ( + $999 dealer option)
- Illuminated door sills (+ $600 dealer option)
- Navi
- ML Audio
- Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert
- Backup camera
- NO VGSR/powered telescoping steering wheel


MSRP: $52,576.00
Sale Price: $46,000
Estimated Trade-in: $8,500.00 (2006 Nissan 350Z)
Admin Fee: $75
Title, License, Registration, Processing and Trip Permit: $233.00
Estimated Sales Tax: $3,337.50
------------------------------------------
Balance: $41,145.50


Do you think this is a good deal? Or should I try negotiating lower? BTW - for my same car which I plan on trading in, I've seen it on sale for $13-$15K with the same amount of mileage (and KBB values about $9,900).

Thanks for any help and tips!!!

BTW - there is also a 2015 AWD IS350 F-Sport UW/RR with similar options EXCEPT for the exhaust, intake, carbon fiber roof, and illuminated door sills selling for MSRP $50,200 (I haven't tried negotiating this one yet). Do you think this is a better deal?

gmanusmc

Do you really want those almost $4500 in dealer options?

pugua

@ bgaerttner - Great question. No, I don't necessarily need those options, but I sure would like them (especially the carbon fiber roof). The thing is, within a 500 radius of where I live, there are only 2 UW/RR IS350 F-sport - the two I just mentioned (the RWD 2014 and the AWD 2015). So it's going to be either one of those, unless some new stock comes in the next couple months.

I just want to know whether or not the 2014 is a good deal (doesn't have to be a GREAT deal). If not, then I can try and negotiate on the 2015 AWD model.

Thanks for any suggestions!

gmanusmc

I suspect the reason the 2014 is unsold is because of all those dealer options. They should be more motivated than $6500 off to sell that. I think it would be a pretty good deal at $8500-9500 knocked off - after all, the 2014s are in their second year of depreciation. If you can't get that type of discount, you are probably better off trying to land a good deal on the 2015.

Good luck - let us know how it goes.
