As far as I'm concern, getting a fair discount is only fair as I too want a fair discount when I buy cars. But when people want some ridiculous price on a hot car, you have to ask yourself, when is cheap too cheap. But of course it's worst when some one claims they got that ridiculous price to beging with.
To get $3900 of an IS AWD is pretty much buying the vehicle at invoice or below. Now why on earth would any dealer do that, when so many non-stengy pleople are willing to pay sticker? How deperate could they possibly have been over a vehicle that pretty much sells itself, has low availability and is in high demand?
Most of the discounts posted sound reasonable but to the $3900 guy, you did not get that deal from Danvers. NOT AT THESE NUMBERS!

I don't know why someone would lie about the deal they got....hopefully most of the people are being truthful. I got $2000 right off MSRP on a base RWD 250 AT. This car was in stock tho, not special ordered....I flew 850 miles to get my deal.

Yes most are being truthful. But some people will lie to impress or make it seems like they did better then eveyone else. Your deal sounds very believable. There are a few small dealers out there that will discount agressively in order to compete. But even they, will not give away cars. You got a fair deal!

I did not get an AWD 250, so you don't even know what you're talking about. It's a RWD manual tranny at 3% over invoice. Sticker is $39,214 and I am paying $35,350. That is almost $4000 under MSRP; invoice is around $34k, so the dealer IS making a profit.
If you worked for Lexus you would know this already.

I dont think helriser knows what he's talking about. Or he is just trying to raise hel.
My family is in Nashville. I first saw the DSM IS250 there. It was sitting outside on display shining in the sun.

Provide details to back up your claim please! As you can see, everyone who has posted on this thread is currious as to how you got that deal. So am I!
For the record, I'm not trying to raise hell, just searching for the truth. Because although customers claim that car dealers lie, the proven fact is, customers lie way more than dealers do.
No pun intended!

IF you worked at Lexus shouldnt you KNOW how much the options cost. Hell, you dont even have to work there to know it. Anyway, you're an idiot and I'm done replying to you. I dont have to justify anything to you.

The IS comes pretty loaded from factory with the exception of Nav, Mark Levinston. So what does your vehicle have? Nav? Sport Package? Luxury Package? ML? I know it has the premiun package becasue that is standard. What else does yours have moron?
You are simply caught in your lie and you realize you have no way out. Don't you find it a little odd that you out of all the people here is the only one who got almost $4k off. I know why, because it's BS. Whether you reply or not, the fact remains, YOU CAN'T BACK UP YOUR CLAIM.
LAMER!!

I got $2000 off MSRP in San Jose, CA. Had to Special Order because of the color combo (White/Black). Don't think it was a stretch for the dealer considering its fully loaded (MSRP 44,000+).
Lucky me, getting the car this week (hope when its not raining) after just waiting for 30 days...
(P.S. for anyone wondering, I happened to bug the dealer at a time when the car was made available by the factory, so I guess this is a preference allocation and not a special order.)
