Looking at a 2011 IS250 F Sport with Navigation. MSRP: 40,619....Theyve come down to 37,450....True car dosent have the f sport option.....What should I pay?

 

True Market Value off of www.edmunds.com has the 2011 IS250 FSPORT with Navigation at $36,902. Invoice Price is set at $35,333. Offset invoice is $1,569. You can also use www.kelleybluebook.com to price your car with your select options. Edmunds and KBB have our cars priced cheaper than www.TRUECAR.com and that's what i showed my dealership.

For my 350, i paid a few hundred dollars less than a $1,000 so I'm sure you can negotiate the price even more for your 2011 IS250 FSPORT w/ NAV.

Goodluck

 

Thanks! I've used KBB all the time and have never seen the price with options tab. That's awesome! I'll have to mess with it tomorrow!

 

semi-necro.

For everyone looking to purchase a new Lexus in the next month or two keep in mind production levels have been crushed by the earthquake.

My dealership is used to having 40 or so New Vehicles at all times, but we currently have 17, and 7 of them are RXs because they are put together in CANADA. When negotiating a deal this will affect a lot of dealers not willing to accept deals they used to in the past.

If you have the patience wait or buy a pre owned, if not you are going to be paying extra

 

I am going to buy 2012 is350 with f-sport package tomorrow. I checked prices on the cars.com, edmunds.com and etc to avoid overpaying for purchase. The best price they offer was $47,500 drive out for $46,000 MSRP. Is that too much to pay? I have no one around me who owned new is350 so I have no idea what others pay. I check the price on edmunds.com and the price they offered was below TMV. Is that good price to buy?
Please advise. Thanks in advance

 

If I recall, I think the best price was like 45 something which was close to no mark up. Check truecar.com

 

try truecar.com. I used them to get a feel for what the dealers were selling them. Then used that as my starting point. I also used them to price a couple out of town dealers (within 2 hr drive). Then I played one off the other and got my price down to Invoice from Invoice+1000. Of course this was in January, so the 2011's were out for a few months. Given that the 2012 are relatively new, the dealers are probably less willing to bargain. But given the economy, you should be able to get it to MSRP at a minimum. Also, if you're a costco member, they have a pre-nego price and it might be a little better. You never know...

 

If $47,500 is out-the-door, I would say that's OK. If you could still try to go lower, I would.

When I got my 2011 IS350 F-sport, a dealership had to order it for me because where I am all the cars here are mostly AWD. I wasn't able to get really close to the TMV on cars.com or edmonds.com.

 

hey guy is it 2012 the new model or the same

 

There are no major changes from 2011 to the 2012 model for the IS.

 

i paid 44,900ish otd for my 2011

 

Never pay MSRP

 

Agreed. +1.

 

i paid $41000 for my 2011 250... looking at this post. i think i over paid. my sticker was $39000. i think he knock off a thousand or so. plus tax , license. comes out to $41000

 

The 2IS is in year 7 of production with the 2012, and it's the last year of production before an all new model in 2013.... nobody should be paying above invoice for one at this point. Hell, I barely paid above invoice for mine....4 years ago... as a special order...
