Default Is this a good deal? 2015 IS 350 AWD F SPORT

Dealer offered to sell a 2015 IS 350 AWD F Sport with the following options for $45,311. Is that worth it? I honestly wanted to be closer to $42,000. Is my number unreasonable for a brand new 2015? MSRP is roughly $50k.

-Blind Spot Monitor w/Rear Cross
-Traffic Alert Auto-Dimming exterior mirrors
-F SPORT Package
-Navigation package
-All Weather Floor Mats
-Illuminated Door Sills
-Rear Lip Spoiler
-Trunk Mat, Cargo Net, Whl Locks &
-Rear Bumper App

any advice is appreciated. Thank you in advance!

you're not getting a new is350 f sport for $42k....especially an awd...minus those options listed. $45k is not bad for all those listed.

Is there a dealer sticker with any add-ons?

$5k discount is not bad - not a smokin deal but not that bad.

Are you working with multiple dealers to create competition? Are you ok with that equipment or do you want something with fewer options?

If you're not in a hurry, 4th of July weekend might bring a better deal.

If you work at it, you might be able to get this particular car down to $44k.

Good luck and keep us posted.

Thanks guys. I'm not in a hurry to get the car but I'd really like to possible get this car for $42-43k. At this rate, would that be a possible number without pissing off the dealers?

I'm getting a few dealers to go at each other so maybe thats why. I also told them that 2016's are coming soon and you'd most like want to clearance the 2015's. so I think maybe that got through to them?

I honestly just want white with black interior, F sport, Navi with ML. everything else is just extra to me.

You can probably find a 2014 for that price.. it wouldn't be too bad with comparable deals

$45 is a reasonable price for that car if sticker is $50k. like someone else said above, $44 would probs be the lowest. if you're not in a hurry just wait til my16 comes out.

I didn't realize the amount of price and invoice difference on the AWD. An AWD F sport Nav/ML/BSM msrp/invoice is around $50k/$47k. Probaby the best you can expect is $44.5k. That $45.3 price on the car in your original post is pretty good.

45k out the door would be a killer deal but 45k isn't bad either lol

45k isn't a bad deal, considering most ppl average about 5.21% (47.5k) based on TrueCar. However, I think 43k-44k is doable, 42k would be a stretch. In either case, you don't get unless you ask for it. Good Luck.

I think what they offered you isn't as bad, but that doesn't mean that you can't negotiate it further! When I bought mine (IS250), I got it for $40,000 + TTL. Sticker was $46,000. I wanted an IS350, but dealers wouldn't go below $47,000. Now, this was between October and December. That said, I think that $45,000 works.

Good luck!

I got the same as ur but mine is RWD . tThe MSRP $47,580 , I bought it for $44,500 OTD in Nov 2014 so I think if u can get ur AWD for $45,000 OTD is ok , don't deal the price before OTD and take a look at the interest rate after u got a good deal because u think that is a good deal but they can get it back by interest rate good luck
