Payments - $359 tax in

I think i got a good deal, I am happy with the payments. What do you guys think?

I think you did very well. That's roughly around what people are paying for a 2014.

Sounds pretty good to me. That's what others are paying for a 2014 IS250 F-Sport. What dealer did you go to? Was it a Lexus dealer?

Lexus of Pembroke Pines, FL

Negotiation was only 20 minutes but I was there for nearly 6 hours and I think at the end they just wanted me to be happy. I wanted to get a 2014/GS350 but we couldn't come close to the numbers so they said did you look at the Is350, and I said yes, as I already drove that 2 times earlier during the day and a 250 and a GS and ES. I started around 330pm and didn't leave until around 10pm. The only negative thing was the salesperson said ML sound system isn't available for the IS250/350 which I found out too late was not true. I really wanted to get the upgraded system and would have paid a little more for it. Now it's too late and i'm stuck. I had a 2010 TL previously and sound system was MUCH better

2015 is350 f sport. Got quoted for $49k. 27/mo, 12k miles/year. Msrp $51,418. Residual value of 72.00 or $38k after 27 months.
They wouldn't go lower than $49.6k because "it's the first one in Colorado" and i think that's a bleepin BS wtf dumb reason to not be willing to negotiate with the customers.
It's not a good deal for me. Mid-40s range would be more reasonable. While i was there today, i noticed another guy, younger guy, in the cube next to me trying to deal the same car. He didn't sound successful either. I walked out before he did. Wonder if that youngster got that same price or lower?

I purchased my car at the same dealer. What did you end up paying for the car?

My sales guy told me the same thing regarding the ML sound system. They claimed they NEVER get IS250/350's with that Option and that it's a special order.

My sales guy was Gus. He's a typical dirty sales person, but I'm in sales so I bypassed him immediately and had to haggle with the finance manager for hours and then the store manager prior to almost walking.

Hope you got a good deal. Took me 2 days of negotiating to get what I want from those guys.

And this was in the Bay Area Lexus Dealer.
Also did the Opti-coat 2.0 yesterday.
Sorry to sound like a goon, but can anyone tell me what the "Opti-Coat 2.0" is? Is that a detailing thing? Anyone elaborate for this Lexus newb?

Payments about $460/mo.
Doesn't seem like the best deal. I can only compare it to the deal I got on my IS350 and what others paid on here versus the 250.

I paid $45.6 OTD for my 2014 IS350. So for $1600 more you could have got the 350. The point is enjoy the car man. Don't down yourself because everyone can always do better at dealers. It's horrible dealing with those sales guys.

OptiCoat 2.0 is a ceramic clear coat over your paint to protect it from the elements. Anyone can buy & apply 2.0 or you can get the Pro version through a dealer which is that little bit better again.

I had OptiCoat 2.0 on my last two cars & will be doing my 350 in the Pro version.

OptiCoat 2.0 is no longer available. The pro version is still available but can only be done by authorized detialers. Opti-Glass is the "new" Opticoat 2.0

I'm also negotiating on a 2015 IS 350 F-Sport. The only extra package I want is nav, however, I can't seem to find any that don't have blind spot monitoring as well. With F-sport, nav and blind spot, the sticker comes to $49,713. I've negotiated a lease with a cap cost of $46,300, $1800 due at signing and my 27-month (12k miles) payment will be $557/mo. This includes taxes, which are high for me because I live in Philly, thus pay state, county/city taxes.

I've been told the money rate is currently .00130 on the 2015 models. You can get better deals on the 2014 models as there is an $850 discount on leases and the money rate is better, .00085. I've received pretty much the same info and offers from a few dealers.

I've been told that deals on 2015 models might be better during the "December to Remember" as all the 2014's should be gone by then.

Sticker $ 47,440

2015 IS350 F-Sport LEASED
1500.00 down / 425.00/month 27months /10,000


My salesperson was great, but in the end I had to deal with sales manager, but I got exactly what I wanted. I almost got an Optima SLX 2015 memorial day for the same 425 (but nothing down) but that care is 10,000 dollars less and cheaper...
