Just went in a few days ago to look at a IS250 with the F Sport package but since there weren't any, I was only able to test drive a regular 11' IS250. Dealer just called me back saying they finally got the new prices for the 2012 F Sport and it came out to be MSRP $38,874. They said that they were unable to go any lower on the MSRP price due to the fact that its a 2012 Lexus which I think is ridiculous...

So I wanted to know if, any of you guys that previously bought a new car from them, you were able to talk them down from MSRP. Also how much did you guys get your 2011 IS250/350 with F Sport OTD?

servco is the ONLY lexus/toyota/scion dealership in the state, all of us here who bought new paid MSRP... EXCEPT the guys who work for servco~ *rabble rabble rabble*

Lol you can do what I did with my last car.

I went to the Ford dealership to check out a F-150 SVT Lightning package. When I went down I checked out the car, test drove it and tried to negotiate with the sales man. He told me because it was a specialty vehicle they would not drop their price (Their price was 9k over MSRP)

I knew I wanted that model but wasnt going to pay more than MSRP for it. Well I ended up going through an auto broker who found me the vehicle I wanted in the color and trim package I wanted for below MSRP. Even after shipping, tax, auto broker charge, I still payed less than MSRP.

So anyway that is an option to consider if you know thats the vehicle you want.

Maybe if you were trying to buy it through Lexus. If you go through a broker they are independent of the dealer. So they basically buy it for you and then ship it here.

Dam should've just gotten a 2011 if I had known this earlier. The 2012 is priced about 1k more without any changes... I'll try talking to a friend that is an auto broker in the mainland. He did tell me that buying a Lexus there and shipping it over will be a huge pain in the *** though and would rather me just buy it here.

Right now is the best time to negotiate pricing on a 2011 because, as you already know, the 2012s are in stock. It's the only way you will get better pricing and higher value on a trade-in. I speak from experience. ~

i got a deal on mine. several thousand off. must be the chinese in me

I would get a 2011 if they had any with F Sport and the color I want but sadly they don't...

weesped did you get yours at the end of the year? because I'm chinese too and my mom said lets just go and I'll offer them like 35k lol. The salespersons main reason why they won't budge on the price is because its a 2012...

i bought mine in july i think of my model year. But ya i left and i was really going to buy another car, just walked down the road to MB and was going to get a C. But they called me on my way there so i got the IS

Ohhhh nice. So they will knock off a few thousand if its around the middle of the model year? and when you said you said a few thousand was that off MSRP? so im guessing total OTD for you was around MSRP? i'll just go in again and try get it for 38-39k OTD if not i'll wait or get a used one. chinese parents dont like used though

I only got a thousand off my 2011 but it's better than nothing..

what judd said! servco is NOT a haggle type of dealership... you walk in and pay msrp or you get the year end closeouts. and the reason that the price is more or less 1k more for the 2012 year models is the dollar to yen rate.

if you can swing it there are two 2011 IS350 f sport packages still available. one is silver the other is black.

i think my sticker was close to 38k and i got otd for close to 36k. i might be wrong though it feels like that was so long ago.

there's always room to haggle....but with the taxes, registration, licensing, and delivery costs...your out the door price will be about msrp price. good luck.
