Negotiated Price Reasonable? 2015 IS250
Hi , Im new here and wanted to get opinions on whether im getting a good deal here.
Location: Dallas, Texas
Dealer: Sewell Lexus of Dallas
I've been trying to negotiate with one of the salesman here and my family has bought a car once from him back in 2012. Good Guy overall.
UPDATE: So i managed to get it down to $40.5k NON AWD No nav. Those options werent really a big deal. But Im fine with 40.5k Seems like this is the best i could do.
New MSRP: $42,383
OTD after 8% Tax is $40.5k
Color: Ultra White / Red Roija
I've only managed to talk him down to that OTD price after days. Before it was $45,773.52 but got him down to $44,236 OTD . Looks like ive seen better deals here and people getting IS 350 for 44K but many factors do play in. I've checked Truecar.com and i feel like i can get a better deal than $44.2k any opnions?

It's a bad deal, dealers are more flexible with the IS250 than IS350, you should shoot for at least 10% or 41.17k, but would really want 40.2k especially with the 2016 model due to be release and engine change.

I thought so too. Sales guy just not budging. Did my research and everything , Truecar.com , Edmunds.com I've seen people pay as low as 41k . The most ill spend is 42.5k and max would be 43k. Any opinions or advice i could get upon pricng? i have a few dealerships here and have checked with 2 of them with Sewell being one of them.

I purchased a IS350 from Sewell this past April, 10% off list price, perhaps could have gone deeper, but I felt it was reasonable. Email the internet managers at other local Lexus dealerships.

I bought an IS350 non-fsport at Lexus Plano a couple of months ago for 42k OTD. Sewell Lexus was offering me 43k OTD and this is all with the student rebate of 1k. My cars' MSRP was around 46.6k, take that as you will. I think the main reason why they sold it for so cheap to me was that not many people buy a non f-sport version of the 350.

I bought my IS350 F-Sport for 43.9k, I would cross shop the IS350 as well as dealers sometimes offer model specific pricing. My local dealer tells me they sell IS250 in a 3:1 ratio vs the IS350 as the latter sits on the lot longer. Your best bet is to wait until the 2016 models come out and buy a 2015 model as the dealers are aware most customers gravitate towards the newer model

Sent you a pm, your area actually has different pricing between AWD and RWD. If you go that route you'll get the deal you want.

OP - does your OTD incl TTL?
And what is the actual selling price?
