Hey Everyone! I have started looking for a 2015 Lexus IS250 F-Sport over the memorial weekend in Southern California area, went to two different dealers to check it out and get some numbers:
Here is the best offer so far,
2015 IS 250
Atomic Silver with red Interior
$41,660 MSRP
$39,602 Invoice price
$42,763.11 OTD
12k Miles per year
Add-ons:
Backup camera ($350)
Blind Spot monitor ($600)
Can I do better than that offer? Thanks in advance!

Assuming no extra fees and add-ons, you're in the neighborhood of $500 under invoice. Not bad, but others have been posting deals in So Cal for better than $2000 under invoice recently, so work them a bit more.
But when you say $12k miles/year, it sounds more like a lease than a purchase.

I am also confused. And while I can duplicate the car configuration at Edmunds.com and get the same MSRP, invoice is actually $38771.

My bad remove the 12k miles/year. It is for conventional purchase, I got that invoice price from Truecar.com.

I will PM you my contact at Santa Monica Lexus where I bought mine. If others have contacts please help this guy as well. People have been posting deals as under $2000 under invoice which is in the ballpark of your deal. Look up invoice pricing at Edmunds.com or other car sites. Invoice on that car is $45413.
Thanks

I got a quote from one dealership and used it to negotiate an even better price from another dealership. Numbers are based on a 2015 IS 350 AWD with Executive Package (same as Luxury plus Navigation packages I believe for US customers). I'm in Alberta, Canada so price is $CDN:
MSRP = $54,300
Incentives = $4000
1st payment free = $2000
Interest over 2 years = $560
OTD = $54,400
I also received for free the following:
MSRP = $54,300
Incentives = $4000
1st payment free = $2000
Interest over 2 years = $560
OTD = $54,400
I also received for free the following:
- Xpel film on hood front, fender and roof edges, A-pillars, rocker panels and mirrors
- Car starter, one-way
- Spoiler
- 3-year Tire and Rim warranty
- Lifetime free oil changes
- All weather mats

$425/month for 10K miles/36mths
I received a similar figure for NY dealers last year, it's b/s. You should wait a bit longer, until the December to Remember sales event at the end of Nov, which is when I bought my car last year and saved about 4.8k (I could have gotten 5.2k off if I bought in Dec). I found the dealers in NY to be a bit more expensive so I bought my car in NJ. You'll probably need to finance 7.5k (it's a Lexus min) to get the deal done. Good luck.
Based on these figures, it looks like they gave you about $5k discount off msrp - is that about right?
If so, that's a decent discount - the money factor is great - I thought the 36/10k residual was 65% but it might have been lowered because of where we are in the model year. All in all, looks like a nice deal - 445 a month to drive a $50k car a few years - not bad!
Are you working with more than one dealer? If you could get that 10% discount to 12-13%, the payment would be reduced to around 400 - an even sweeter deal. You're nearing the end of the month and a holiday weekend, so that might help in your negotiations.

Anyone from Seattle area got good deals? It seems very hard to get deals here. So for, I can only get ~5% off MSRP on 2015 IS250 base model + premium package + backup camera. Any suggestion/comments? Thanks.

Thank you.
But, I could not have done this without help from you folks at Club Lexus.
Also, FastTags, a CL senior member, helped me out throughout my negotiating process, which helped me get a Great price on the lease.
Thank you FastTags.
There is a Great post in CL about Leasing and Buying on CL, written by FastTags and others senior folks, you can read it here:

It's really hard in Seattle. I went to the dealership in Lynnwood. Got ~4k off MSRP so almost 10%. There's an Asian salesman at Lexus Of Bellevue that offered ~2k off MSRP without me even asking about it. You could try your luck there, his name was Sun if I remember correctly.

I have contacted A few dealerships in Southern California via email and by phone and some were reluctant to give any information by email or phone and some were just rude when talking to them. I have a few numbers from 2 dealerships and I need help from you guys to see if I am getting a great deal. Or should I just wait. Thanks in advance
