Default Bought a new F Yesterday

I never thought I could pick up a new 08 IS-f Pearl White for less than a non-loaded 335i, but worked a insane deal and got them down to 47k. Car had 18 miles on it and I all ready racked up 200 miles in the last couple of days. What a huge difference in power and handling compared to the is350 I had. I will say anyone in the market for an IS-f should be out shopping.

The only thing it did not have was the ipod interface. The sticker MSRP on the car was 63k.

I wish I was still in Texas, but I got transferred out to Kentucky about 8 months ago. Thanks to all I think I got a pretty damn good deal on the car. I was so close to buying a 335i for price reasons and then got this deal. Anyone on here live in the Louisville area?

why so cheap? how hard was it to get them to bring it to 43k? What kind of "technique" or "words" did you use on them to bring it down? Or is it because the economy is so bad they're trying to attract more customer by lowering their price? I have about 4 more months until finishing my grad school....I told a lot of guys here that I'm going for the M but now I want something more reliable / longer lasting..like ISF. =P

I just used the internet and called various dealerships with new 08's in stock. The autotrader is a good search engine for finding new Lexus cars as Lexus does not allow you to check there new car inventory from the website. After talking to a few different dealerships I put all of them against each other and the one with the best price one. Lucky it was the one that was close to my area. That was about it, but it did take about a week to get the price I wanted. From what the salesman told me they are getting a lot of rebates from the factory to move out the rest of the 08 IS-f's in stock. I doubt you would be able to get the same deal on an 09.
