Congrats and welcome to the forum!

^^^wulfstan, my guess is RWD due to the lack of the hump in the driver's side floor (pic above).

I got it lease for 24 month. $0 down 460 a month, or 2.5K down for 350 a month.
I do not want to buy at the end so I don't care what other number is....lol
I think the deal is good just 460 a month.....only thing I pay at the day I drive off was first month payment. $460.

Good deal.

Which dealership and which salesmen did you get the deal from? Also, what was the MSRP?

I was quoted $485 (including tax) with absolutely no drive off, 15k miles, 24 months on a $48,212 2014 IS350 F-Sport. I was waiting for a white ext with red interior. This was from Longo in El Monte, CA. I called to check up on the arrival date of the car, but the "sales manager" suddenly changed the quote saying that he thought it was for a 250 not a 350. But when he quoted he clearly said the MSRP of the car was $48,212. (I went the first weekend of March) He said the resid value was 71% and the MF was 0.00085 or something like that which didn't make sense to me.

Given that I went in during the starting of the month and seeing such great deals that this forum members were getting, I thought I could negotiate the payment price a little more. When I called him today he said the best he can do with the same criteria, was $538 (including tax) First of all, it doesn't seem like a good deal (seeing all the other members' deals) and I feel like I got played.

Help a brother out! please

2k down 350 a month for 27 month lease, 10k a year and 20K no cost maintenance.
I got same deal from three dealers, Van Nuys, Santa monica, Beverly hills they all offer to match up.
so you can call anyone, !!!!! just wait till the end of the month and make sure you want to lease it on the spot!!
MSRP was 43k something.....normal but I do not plan to buy off later since I want to try BMW later

Congrats! I really do like the color combo, too. I almost got that for myself. But the nebula gray is a color I've wanted on a car for years, so I decided to be steadfast on that.

I will try those dealerships.

How did you get MSRP of 43k? do you mean the selling price was 43k?

Agree - I think a 350 F-Sport nav/ml is more like 48k or so.

MSRP $43k is a IS 250 F Sport. I think they swapped your emblems. Lol
