I just got an email today from my local realtor association... the local lexus dealership is offering pricing at 4% over dealer invoice on all nonhybrid lexus vehicles until the end of the month.. Also just got another email from the dealership saying they are also offering free gas for a year...

I figure I can almost get one for invoice.. things must be slow.

4% over invoice AND free gas for 1 year on a new IS? If that's true, yeah, I'd say things are slow there! Wonder if that applies to a special order if they can't find one optioned the way you want in a color you like?

they do a good amount of volume for a PA dealer.. I dont think they are the #1 volume dealer but they are close. I test drove an IS 350 the first month they came out and even then the salesman said they could knock $1000 off the price. The dealer also owns Toyota and Scion, Nissan and BMW. They are offering the same 4% over invoice on BMW's and 2% over invoice on toyota and nissan.

I was up there about 2 weekends ago right before we got 17" of snow and they were somewhat busy even with the snow coming down.. In fact we got into a blue IS250 and another salesman came running out and just said he sold it.
I have to admit I dont see a lot of IS cars in this area. Id say the average income in this area is over $100,000 and people have money so maybe the cars arent selling like they thought. It is a very unique car.. You have to not care about the small back seat and the fact that loaded youre approaching the GS prices.

Unfortunately, I haven't found any dealers in Ohio, Kentucky, or Indiana that will sell a 250 for less than sticker. Anyone know of any?

prices seem to be dropping.. I dont think the constant increasing of interest rates are helping the car industry as well.

thanks dave for the referral but instead we went to lexus of fremont and picked up an is250 with navi pkg. + premium pkg for 34 even. and also picked up the magna shield proctection for 1395. So to sum it all up, i got 2500 off msrp and 600 off for the magna shield protection. which is a great deal.. better than what most dealerships can offer, there are very few that was willing to match the price of 34,000.
