Red face I Finally got one

Last week I post asking the members for there opinion on wether to get
IS250 with Nav or base 350.
As it turns out i would not be able to afford either one due to financing rate
they were offering me. So, I got the base with leather.
No Modding this car, I'm done with mods.
I LOVE THE CAR JUST THE WAY IT IS.
Thank for the imput you guys have given me at my earlier post.
I'm officially leaving Club202.com
Here's my previous w202



Here's my IS250 and did i say it already? I'm Loving it!!



This is my new home!

Yes, Base Trim Auto/leather granite mica.

Longo Lexus was so busy today everyone buying up the IS.
Lexnon, If you don't have an agent yet look for Sergio! Awesome salesman and gave me
the better deal than cerritos auto square.

goodluck

a lot of dealers are putting the 18s on every IS model they get...it depends on the region..they are still charging you extra for it, but you have no choice but to get it since it's already added on.

blk202, i think all IS in the U.S. comes standard with leather.

What kind of price did you get from longo? They are going to change me more and took longer to find my car then thousand oaks internet dept.. And santa monica internet sales had the cheapest price around i found for my car. Longo is my local dealer , but im still waiting to get my deposit back. They were slow to call me, slow to find my car (which they never did) and now they are slow to give me my money back.

What kind of experience did you have with Cerritos?

WIth Longo, I'm sure you could of gotten more then $1k off. How did they treat you? Did you try to haggle more then $1k off sticker?

Cerritos wasn't that bad 1k off but interest rate was crazy and dont ask what interest rate its embarrasing

Longo was Great ! same deal better financing and a great salesman I didnt even test drive the car anymore because i did it in the other dealership.
I basically told the Sergio what kind of deal i had with the other place and basically just wanted a better rate and he gave it to me.

Longo offered 1k off list too. I ened up getting 1.5k off which was fine cuz they were the only ones that even found the exact car i wanted. South Bay was going to give me 3k off one close to what i wanted but diff interior color so i passed it. They offered to order the one i wanted for that price but i didnt want to wait the 4 months so i passed and went with the only one that had a unspoken one on their allocation list.

Congrats on the new ride, you'll love it! I only managed to get $500 off from my 350. However it was the ONLY IS on the lot out of atleast a dozen that had nav and it was the exact color with the exact options I wanted, there were also 2 other customers looking at it so the dealer knew if they didn't sell it to me, they'd sell it to someone else so I was happy with the $500 discount.

Damn nice, did you get the MT or AT?

Also what was the interest rate they gave you? I know that rates have been climbing
