In my experience the Shreveport dealer will discount. I have bought 5 Lexi from them so far.

 

I have been shopping around for the '06 IS250 AWD w/Nav option in the Northeast area mostly through the email so far. The best price I have gotten is $35, 271 + TTL or $2,154 off MSRP. (MSRP $37,425 / INVOICE $33,354). Do you guys think this a good price for the '06? or could I get the '07 for about the same?

thanks!

Hi all, I am new to this forum, planning to get my first Lexus in this week. And I got a quote from local dealership for Lexus IS250(RWD), automatic transmission, Premium pkg (w/ 18" wheels) & Navigation Systems. MSRP: $36504, now they gave me $32,788 plus tax and license, is that a good deal or not? please advice, many thanks.

 

Over 10% off? Not a bad deal at all. If it's the car you really want, I'd take the deal, especially if you're just a customer off the street.

 

I got the same deal on the same car. Actually it was $32.7+ttl+dealer fees. So check to see if there unknown dealer fees. You are about $500 over invoice so I think it is a good deal. I bought mine 2.5 weeks ago.

 

My girlfriend is looking to buy a loaded IS250. Her family loves the Lexus brand, and they have purchased 3 RX400h's from the same dealer (over a 1 year span). Her brother may also buy a new GS430.

My question is..how much of a deal do you think she could get on the IS, after considering all the other purchases? Will it be a major factor or just a small one? I have no idea how dealers consider prior purchases when negotiating.

 

if you deal with the same salesman/manager at that dealer, it should be much easier to negotiate pricing. They already knew that you guys are high rollers (rx400h ..which would probably cost more than 40k per), repeat customers.

 

I think the price is solely based on how good a negotiator you are. I have bought 6 Lexi and I get the same price as anyone else. If you read this forum you will get at least an average deal.

 

Since it looks like I will be stuck in the Middle east for some of this year as well, I have just put a deposit on the new 2007 IS 300. Yes thats correct, 300. I notice back home we have 250, and 350. I wanted to know if anyone had heard anything about this engine which they have released here this week.
Also, the car comes delivered for a final price of $36,735.
That price has gotten me the following;

3L, 228 HP vvti engine, RWD
with every option available I think;
Adaptive headlights, Navi, DVD changer, Reversing camera, cooling/heating seats, 17 inch wheels, moonroof........ so on.

The price seems a little low for everything, so that is why I wanted to know if anyone had heard anything negative about this engine.
Just too good to be true. Because of the launch this week, they are also giving a dvd recorder and a Nokia N70 cell phone as gifts.

 

Are you planning to bring it back to the USA?

 

no, why should I send some over?

 

I was just wondering if the prices most of you guys post include the dealer fees etc? I just put a deposit down on an is250 07 at JM Lexus and saw that there were dealer fees of $698. Has anyone ever been able to get those dealer fees waived? What exactly do they charge soo much freaking $ for?
