I'll buy a lightly used 350 for 35k in 12 months.

So you are all okay paying close to MSRP or above when six months later they'll be wheeling and dealing?
I guess everyone has their priorities...

I am sure the 2014 prices will be a few hundred less than the outgoing model

omgitsjoe

You mean " more " than the outgoing model ...... dont you ??

Yen exchange rate is depreciating by the day. A deliberate move by the Japanese government to make their industries more competitive.

we are talking about what the price is going to be, not what we would want it to be. I would like to buy 3IS for $20k...

I could think of alot of other vehicles i would look at around the $50k mark? Thats crazy for an IS and not even the F

I think most cars in the premium compact sedan segment eg Mercedes C-class, BMW 3 series, Infiniti G, Audi A4 and Lexus IS will be priced about the same for equivalent engines. It's not as if the IS is priced much more than its competitors. If anything, its price will probably be less than an equivalent C-class or 3 series.

Talking about cheaper non-premium cars with more horsepower or larger space is missing the point. If that price-to-features ratio bothers you, you probably aren't the target audience for the premium compact segment then.

If you want to buy new, then you have to pay to play. Either that or buy used like others are suggesting in this thread.

One of the selling points of the IS350 back in 2007 was compared to the BMW 335i the IS350 was about $5k lower in sticker price.. The IS was just a better value for the options included.

I just hope it's not priced too high.

RXSF

no, I mean less. Its very common with Lexus. Every time a new generation comes out, it comes out at around $200 less to as much as $800 less. This happened with the new RX, ES, GS and I am sure IS.

Then the MSRP starts to rise per year after the first year of the new gen.

omgitsjoe

My bad. I didnt realize that since I would think the norm would be the MSRP going UP since it's the latest and greatest !!

player1

so when actually will they release official pricing? is it realistic for me to think that I can get a 2014 350 f sport with mark levinson for less than 45k?

Hoping the same but depends on whether dealer is willing to negotiate. I'm not paying MSRP. I'll wait for 2015 model.

spwolf

yes for base models but at the same time not for loaded models. Loaded GS350 is now $10k more, while base was the same.
