Will something like that void the warranty of the car?

Also I got the dealer to go down to 39k without TTL. Is this a really good deal? Or should I keep looking.

I've been lurking and researching here and want to put this out to you all...I'm hoping to sign papers on my new 2015 IS250 F-sport tomorrow and wanted to get your opinions on the price. It's a Silver Lining Metallic/Rioja Red interior F-sport with Navigation w/backup camera, RWD, blind spot/cross traffic, spoiler, and cargo net/trunk package for $42,891 out the door. Good/bad/just ok? What are your thoughts? Should a push harder on the price?

If you are getting around 12-15% discount off msrp, it's a good deal. What is the msrp and selling price?

The MSRP is $44,120 and selling price is $38,520. That's a little better than 12%. Thanks.

Hey everyone, so I'm looking to get myself into a new IS soon and I have been reading throughout this thread to get myself the best deal. I've seen some people have even gotten an IS350 F Sport for ~42k which I would love. A little background on me, I'm still young and this will be my first ever Lexus. I would love to have an IS350 but I wouldn't mind settling on a great deal for an IS250 either. Is 42k for an IS350 something I could actually do? I live in CT and it looks like most of these really great deals are coming out of CA.

I'm planning on emailing the ~5 or so local Lexus dealerships and seeing what they start off with price wise. I'm most likely looking to lease as well. There's currently a deal in my local Lexus dealers that are offering a 2015 IS250 (non F Sport) lease for $1,499 down and $349 a month for 36 months with 10k miles/year. Is this a decent deal? I'd really like to get myself an F Sport though and this deal is based on the msrp of the car being around 42k, but like I said i've seen people getting IS350 F Sports on here for that price. So, my question is, what's the best way to go about getting a great deal on one of these cars? Like I said i'm pretty young and this will be my first 'expensive' car purchase ever so I want to make sure I go into this knowing exactly what I'm doing, I work hard for my money (i'm sure we all do) and I want to make sure I'm getting the most for it.

P.S. I REALLY want one in Ultra White and none of the dealerships around me have any left except for a 2015 Crafted Line IS250, any idea what a good deal on one of these would be like lease wise?

Thanks in advance!

Cheers,
Mark

That's about $2k under invoice which is fantastic.

Anything added aftermarket can affect warranty if they conclude that item was the cause of any issue. Stuff like this is usually pretty safe but who know hows it's connected or how it's installed. Does it even work? If not, I'd go to a respectable stereo shop and un-install it.

Can't really comment on the price of a used car, but some are getting new IS350's for a little over $3k more ($42,xxx) before TTL.

$42,xxx for a F-Sport? If that's the case then I'll probably just buy new then.

Yes, but most of those deals are out here in CA. Not sure what your region can offer.

Hi all, I'm currently in the market to lease an IS350 F Sport with navi\ML/BSM/lip spoiler, and received this quote from a local dealer in SoCal:

Market Value: 49,048.00
Savings: 5,998.00 incl. Rebate
Vehicle Price: 43,050.00 Net After Rebate + Fees
36 Months 24 Months Down Payment
384.48 375.20 3000
413.62 419.17 2000
30,900 34,824 Residual
500.00 500.00 Rebate

I'm looking at the 36 month lease, and this is for 12k miles. Does $413/month after $2000 down sound about right? Thanks and I hope to be joining you guys soon!

EDIT: Sorry for the formatting

Numbers sound correct with a money factor of .0007 - my recommendation is go with the 24 month lease and only put down 500 at signing (unless you really do need the payment to be lower - the MF is low enough that it's 6 of one - half dozen of another). These figures do incl tax?

By the way, 12% + discount from msrp is a pretty strong deal - you won't get much better.

Figures do include tax. Not quite sure I follow you on the 6 of one - half dozen of another. I'd need some clarification. Thanks!

In other words, because the MF is so low, why plunk the money down up front - just roll almost everything into the payment. Yes, your payment will be higher, but the cost of rolling it in is of little consequence. It's always best to put as little down up front as possible on a lease (with the exception of multiple security deposits to lower the MF which in turn lowers the payment).

You really never heard anyone say the 6 of one thing?

Now go get your IS - that's a pretty good deal.
