Only one way to find out. Go to the dealer and ask. We can all tell you yes it's possible, but if the dealer doesn't agree, our word has no worth to the dealers

Go to http://www.truecar.com and http://www.cars.com and configure your build, it will tell you what is a decent possible price.

at least in my area (NY), truecar only shows about $2700 off retail, which doesn't do it for me. I'm also looking for $5k off MSRP, but I may have to settle for a Q50 since they're about $7-8k off MSRP right now. I really wanted an IS350-F...

December to Remember is what you will be looking for at the end of the year. History, or at least my experience, tells me the hottest cars are not really discounted during this promotional period. I got my car in December last year (actually contracted in August). So while I was at the dealership, I asked for info on what they were offering. Last year they were only offering the IS250 at a reasonable price during the D to R event. Nothing 'special' on the 350. At least that was at my dealership network. Who knows. I know the guys in Cali always seem to get better deals. More dealers out there to work over!

If you're going to spend almost 50 grand, I wouldn't "settle" but that's just me. Keep poking around or wait a little bit more, you'll thank yourself in the long run!

Does this mean the residual value and MF are fixated until the end of December?

So, it sounds like I am correct in thinking that the response from the dealership was off.

Question still remains. Anyone know if I will be able to get a 15 with the f sport awd and nav/ml for 45?
You not gonna be getting that price for the fsport 15.. I'm sorry no dealer will agree to 45 otd even its it's the zombie Appocolyps sale. With that being said I got my 15 350 fs 47 otd that includes ext warranty 70k Navi ,bsm pretty much your

Truecar has 3 "group" options. And the f sport is an additional $14,490. Because it also has the "luxury package" and "tech package"

Ending up with a grand total MSRP of $57,715
Not a very accurate calculation.

However, thank you guys for the responses. I had one dealer willing to go to $46,499 with exact options. With that in mind, it was mentioned that the prices are good through January 5th on this sale. Does this mean the prices will go up after that?

Here's the letter I got the other day

Nothing on special on the IS350 as someone mentioned above, but I would get as many dealers involved as possible and see who gives you the best price. At least, that's what I am doing

I know... TrueCar was so inaccurate when I was pricing an IS350 F-Sport AWD. They were giving me a number of 55K which was so off. Anyways, I kept playing with it until I got a certificate for a fair price of $46 and change! I don't know if that will be my OTD price... We shall see!

Agree! It's fixes until Jan. 5th! At least in my area they're advertising such. However, that doesn't mean that you cannot negotiate the MF or even the residual. I could be wrong on the residual as some have said it's determined by Lexus, but who knows if you can negotiate it as well

Good starting point... but I'll be careful how you configure the 3IS as it gave me a price of $55,000 for an IS350 F-Sport AWD. So off! You have deselect options and make sure you're just adding the F-Sport package unless you want all the extras (Luxury pkg, BSM, etc.)
