I paid $400 over invoice and got a set of all weather mats.
The dealer had to find my car.I wanted only Starfire/Black with NAV/ML.
I could have bought a Startfire/Ivory he had in stock for invoice but wanted the black.
Other than the dealer Holdback 2%,I don't know if Lewxus had any other incentives for the dealer.
Only an idiot will pay $29995 for my IS.
More like $27.5-$28K I would think.

A super clean low mileage car they'll sell quickly.

that's hysterical, I just picked up the Silver 06' IS250 AWD (w/16K miles) there yesterday...the white one was nice but I preferred the Silver one w/a little less mileage...paid a little less than what they asked for yours...more importantly, they gave me an excellent price for my 05' Toyota 4Runner V8

Congrats!
Though you shouldn't have worried about the extra 5700 more miles.
That car has been babied since day one.
Amsoil in the engine and differentials.
A solid car.I'm a pre-maintenance time junkie.
New 18" Goodyear F1s A/S on G-Spiders,Tanabe Medalion exhaust,Light up side mirror covers,sport pedals,HID Kit,Crystal White Pearl/Black etc...a lot of extras.
They probably would have taken $27-$27.5.
You may like the Silver better.
In any case,good luck with your purchase and enjoy.
