Default 2011 IS250 F Sport Purchase

Working with a dealer on a 2011 IS 250! Looking to see what others have paid. I've done some searching on here, with not much luck on the F Package.

Here is the breakdown:

Base Model $33,315.00
+875.00 Destination

F Sport Package $2,440
HID's with LED DRL's $875
Navigation Package $2,465
Paint Protection $429
Cargo Net, Trunk Mat and Wheel Locks $220

Total MSRP $40,169

They have only come down to $37,450 before taxes. And $500 up on my trade in.

I've found invoice prices at about $30,423 for a base.

What do you guys think is a good price, what should I get them to.

I do want the F Package, but I could do without the Navigation. So I'm trying to use that to my advantage. Saying I don't want the navigation, but you cant take it out. So they came off the sticker $3,169 because I don't want the navigation. It's the blue and exactly what I want, but still to high for me. Any advice?

wow, msrp for an f-sport IS250 with navi is only 40k? my non f-sport with navi and 18'' wheels had msrp of 39,xxx. but the difference is dealer willing to deal on the non fsport more than the fsport models. 37k before fees seems like too much for a 250, f-sport or not. i believe you can get a new f-sport IS350 for 40k before tax/fees very easily.

You can get the trunk mat, cargo net, and wheel locks for cheap on eBay.

I don't think you need paint protection and if you do there are shops that'll 3m your car for less than dealer prices.

Not my ride yet....Just threads with pics are always better!

Yeah I have seen some F sport 350s on here for $40k or so.

Yeah I told them I don't want the trunk mat, cargo net (wheel locks may be nice) etc. I always buy those on ebay like you said.

The paint protection is already on so that's kinda a hard one. I found invoice prices on the mats, net and wheel locks at $131 and invoice on the paint protection at $259

wow.. that's less than $3000 off MSRP. I'm sure you can bring that cost a bit down more. There should be some room to negotiate.

The F-Sport Package in US seems to come this way and has Navigation onboard + the accessory package.

I actually saw a brand new one sitting just sitting outside the front entrance of Lexus of Bellevue today. Was surprized because it has been months since they ever gotten an F-Sport car in because customers in the area want AWD so they do not normally get them in or RWDs for that matter. The car that was there was in Starfire Pearl. The sticker price is also 40K in the window.

There was a Ultrasonic Blue Mica also sitting outside the front entrance too. When I came by to look thinking it was another F-Sport IS 250, it was a 2011 ISF.

That's what they told me too when I inquired about the 2011 IS F-Sport so they wouldn't even give me any price below MSRP. It might be easy to get below $40K for others in some parts of the US than others.

I did speak with the tech lead at Bellevue, since he was doing a quick fix on my car, he said that California dealers get priority for the F-Sport cars, something along those lines.

Maybe if the F-Sport was sitting on the lot for a while, the price could be negociated. I am not sure how long that car was there for since I know it was not there last week!

Id say thats a pretty good deal. Sticker on my 11 IS350 FSport was north of 44k, and i didnt get it for 40k, and im an employee as well. I think people expect too much these days. Dealerships cant survive selling cars for invoice.
