Default Considering this car for a purchase.

Looking to purchase not lease. I would try to get them lower on the price but when I test drove it two hours ago they didn't seem willing to budge on price.

You can get a new one for that price. I hated Santa Monica when I bought car. We agreed to a price over the phone for a specific model and when I got there, they wanted an extra $200 for it. No reason whatsoever. I wouldn't have minded the extra $200 if they had told me over the phone but then they pulled that bs. Wasted an hour to drive there and another hour back home for nothing. Went to longo and bought mine for even less than what Santa Monica and I had originally agreed on

I saw a dealer that has an IS350 AWD F-Sport CPO for 39k - Black/Rioja. Your dealer is asking way too much.

Thanks, after posting I started searching the new ones and realized the same. I guess i should have started looking at the 2015 before I put my attention on this one.
Appreciate the feedback

Depending on which version you are looking for you should expect 10 to 13 percent off msrp.

Hello new to the forums and to Lexus coming from BMW and getting tired of being nickle and dimed and no real changes. I know I missed the best time of the year to buy but I am in the middle of relocating my job from Hawaii to Virginia.

I have read alot of this thread today and am surprised to see such great deals offered by Lexus. I was hoping for some insight. I am trying to keep my payments under or right above $500/month with tax. I know I could probably make this happen with a 250 F sport but I was hoping to get some advice especially from East Coasters where deals seem to be harder on getting into the following

2015 Ultra White 350 AWD (would consider RWD if available) F Sport with ML/Nav, rear spoiler

MSRP as built on Lexus.com $50,059

Have military discount and willing to put down 9 MSDs.

Is this even possible post December to remember deals with some serious negotiating?

Anyone know a go to guy in the Mid Atlantic area? I am willing to travel if needed within a reasonable distance.

Looking to do 27 months at 12k/year.

Thanks for any help anyone could provide.

Using max MSDs, you should have no problem getting well under 500 incl tax on a 350 - email the Internet Managers of as many dealers you can and get them competing for your business.

Be careful with a lease in VA if you are on active duty and are going to buy a home. We owned a home in Spotsylvania County when stationed there - we leased an Acura and ended up being assessed about $500 personal property tax every six months - we were told we lost our military exemption from the tax because we technically did not "own" the car - so you might want to check on that.

Drive off: $1200 (bank fees + title etc)
MSRP: 38,548.00
Negotiated Price: $32,500
Residual: 75%
Money factor: 0.00105

No down-payment

I'm really hoping to get the same price monthly with more miles...15,000 instead. What does everyone think about the deal?? Sounds good right?
Update!

Signed the lease to my new car today! Here is the final deal (I decided on 15k miles):

2015 is250 white/black with back up camera/spoiler/trunk accessories
Monthly Payment with tax: (9%) 271.14/month
Drive off: $1210 (bank fees + title etc)...first month free
MSRP: 38,548.00
Negotiated Price: $33,500 - $1,000 (college incentive)
Residual: 73%
Money factor: 0.00105
Mileage: 15,000
Lease term: 24 months
No down-payment

So happy with my lease and payment!! Thanks everyone!
