Mine was a special order, 4k off sticker, $250 below invoice. Don't let them bully you into MSRP. Play hardball... More details here:

You guys are too lucky. The dealer here only give below invoice pricing to the one they have on the lot, not the ordered one, full MSRP if ordered

My car is a special order and I received invoice price BECAUSE it was a special order and would take 4 months. Find another dealer. If you are dealing with a Lexus dealer in Raleigh then that's the same story they gave me. Thus, I quickly moved on.

So, that's it; I've decided: it's the IS 350 for me! But now arises the tiresome question of what to pay for it.

This is the build I am proposing:
IS 350 (Non F-Sport) RWD
Luxury + Technology Package w/ Gray Wood Trim
ML Audio / Nav Package
Intuitive Park Assist
PCS w/ Dynamic Radar Cruise Control
Atomic Silver
Black Leather

I've been told in order to get these options regardless of color (I'm not married to this color combination.) that I will have to special order it. That's fine as I am not in desperate need of the car right away. In talking with two different dealerships, I've been told that they don't discount special order cars, so I will be paying MSRP. One offered me a $500 discount and the other a $1500 discount. In checking with Edmonds, et al., this is still quite aways off from invoice, which is ideally where I'd, like everyone I imagine, like to be.

Basically, the question is: what's the negotiability of special order cars like? Does anyone else have a dealer recommendation in the Southeast?

Thanks, and I look forward to hearing from you all.
I think they are trying to pull a fast one on you. I ordered my close to loaded IS350 non-F-Sport from the local (Raleigh/Durham) Lexus folks and did not pay the MSRP. The internet is your friend. Bounce the regional dealers off of each other. One of them will 'earn your business' as they like to say.
