Default Buying a 08 IS250

So I went to the local dealership and got a price of $35,000 for a 08 IS 250 with Nav. Is this a good price?

Why not wait for an '09 next month?
The '09 has a refresh.
You may kick yourself after a short while if you don't.

Agreed with Joeb427
Wait for the 09
That seems pricey for a 250 too!

I hope that price is out the door. I got the 250 with nav and spoiler for 34,9XX out the door in may 2007. with the decrease in sales, you could probably get it for lower 34K out the door easy.

MSRP Sticker: 38,1XX
Purchase price: 32,1XX + tax/ttl = 34,9XX out the door

AWD or RWD.

If that is RWD that is WAY too high. I got my AWD loaded Nav, luxury, premium, spoiler... sticker was around 42k for just over 36k

I got my 250 w/ Nav for $33,500 in December. But since I'm in California it was close to $37K after tax. You can probably push them down to the $33s before tax.

if that's AWD, 35K is okay. but if it's RWD, you may wanna go lower. if u don't mind waiting, wait for the '09 IS, i believe there are quite a few of changes.

Too high! I got my 08 IS250 w/ Nav and prem pack (OTD - including tax, title, license, and extended warranty) for $34,000 back in December of 07.

Wait for the 09s to come out. When you get one, send us a picture.
