Hey guys,

I just negotiated a price on the 04 IS300. It has everything everything except for Full leather ( It has the leather Escaine), heated seat, LSD, and Navigation. It does come with a factory spoiler for $32,500 Out of Door. Is it a good price?

Wow...that's a killer deal. Which dealership? It's Leather/Alcantara trim...ecsaine no more.

Edit: Did I read that right...Everything EXCEPT: Leather, Heated Seats, LSD and Navi....right? For the VL Package which is the Leather/Alcantara, Spoiler, Mats, Locks and etc.

Man, sorry but you are getting ripped off. I bought my 03 SportDesign NEW with everything except Nav for $30,000. Yep, heated seats, LSD and and SportDesign package, trunk mat and floormats. Yes, that is right.

Njboy24 bought an e-shift, 03, with no nav, no LSD, with leather Escaine for $27,500 NEW! This is way too high for the car.

wait, now i read it more, you saying an 04 withOUT full leather (automatically no heated seat), nav, and LSD? umm..... if that's the case, then your price is kinda normal, NOT killer deal. sorry i thought you said except leather you have everything else.

UncleNick, you need to look at the price of 04. the invoice price of 04 is couple hundred over that of the 03. if you get an 03 towards middle of this yr the price you mentioned was pretty right, but for 04 the invoice price is close to 30000 already (you can go check on that). and the car is new, so you don't expect any deals on it

Damn, looks like everyone is getting a good price for their IS300. Where is my loyalty discount after buying my 97 SC and 01 GS!!!!!! Anyways, I am looking for a fully loaded one right now and still need feedback from you experts out there for a somewhat good (not just okay like rominl is referring) deal or even excellent deal!!!

Thanks guys!!

Yea, I got my IS in April. So , they went up again in price? Well, even for a couple hundred dollars, if the dealer wants the sale bad enough, they'll drop the price.

Also gotta take into consideration that there are a few more standard features the 04 has over the 03. The biggest one is Driver's Memory Seats. Plus you have a manual so of course the price will be a bit lower than it's e-shift counterpart.

I just priced it out on cardirect.com and they can get it with the full leather for less. Time to haggle some more.

I just built your car on Lexus.com, the MSRP is $32,509. So your price is not much of a deal.

The actual MSRP is $33,449 for a full leather and automatic car.
Or a leather/alcantara car is $33,049 MSRP.
