After a month of getting a feel for the dealers, working numbers, and doing the homework, I finally placed a deposit down on a GFM w/ black interior IS 350. It will have parking assist, pre-collision, luxury package, Nav, ML sound system and sat. radio when avaialbe. They are telling me 1 to 2 months wait (though I suspect a bit more), and I was able to haggle 3,220 off MSRP, for a total of 43.6k.

Sweet. Don't worry man the wait is well worth it. I waited like 3 months for my IS 250. I was tempted at one point to buy an acura TL.

Thanks all, this looks to be a great bunch of people on this board, as I was reading a few post over some time to get the feel for your forum.

The acura TL is actually a great choice. The GF's bro has one, and at 35k its just a great car for the price. When did you order your 250?

How much were you able to work? By pitting two dealers against each other, I was able to come up with that number. The good thing is, I got a decent number within a 45 minutes of 'talking', then a visit the next morning for that closing offer.

As for the wait, I hope it doesn't fall into the latter of a few months, but so be it. I was told if any incentives arise between now and the time it takes to get my car, they will be forwarded to me.

Great deal! I wish I could have done better, but I think my local dealer is so small with low volume sales, they don't discount.

I got my IS350 on October 31st (almost 5 months ago) and I'm still blown away every time I drive it. You're going to love it!

Congratulations!

IS350 (Tungsten Pearl, Black interior, NAV + ML, XM Radio, Park Assist, Luxury Package)

That is one great car you have coming. I am completely dazzled by the PCS/Radar Cruise. Almost seems "magical" to me! You will SO love your car. AND, sounds like you got a great deal on the $ part as well. I thought I was doing OK with $1000. off MSRP. Then again I ordered back in Oct. when they were just released.

Oh yeah, the automatic windshield wipers are kinda "magical" too!! Congratulations on a good choice.

Update:

Well, after 2 weeks of searching, it appears my car can't be found anywhere. I now have a 90-120 day wait, which will include the building of the car and shipping time from Japan. In the mean time, I'll just enjoy the comments and photos from you others here on the forum. Great community so far.
