Default Hi everyone

I'm new here. Been reading a little bit here and there and getting a lot of very interesting informations. Anyways, i live in florida and looking forward to getting an IS350. I have a friend that works at a Lexus Dealership and says she can get one fully loaded for me at $40otd. Is that a good price? or reasonable? I ask because i have a friend in cali that has a sister who traded in a car and got onen for $39otd. Give me your input.

Thanks,
DANG

Please tell us the package and options. List them all out individually.

There is no clear definition of "fully loaded". (For example, does "fully loaded" include options like spoiler, ground effects, wheel locks, cargo net, satellite radio? Does it mean luxury or sport?)

And anyway, most people that say "fully loaded" don't have the Pre-Collision system, which is an almost $3,000+ option...

Last weekend I purchased a new IS350 and I have since driven the greatest 97 miles of my life! I went in for an '07 but they didn't have any with NAV. However, they still had an '06 and that gave me some leverage in the price (I like not having the shark fin on the roof anyway...)

OK - here is what I got:
2006 IS350
- Black on Black
- Base model
- Navigation
- Non Mark Levinson (You will not find ML it unless you order it)
- Like the other posts, there is no "fully loaded" - they all are. The only difference is the Mark Levinson, chrome wheels, and luxury/sport.
I have driven the sport, luxury, and base model and I cannot tel the difference. You will not notice the difference unless you are a test driver. I also live in LA so the traffic keeps the speed low.

OK - I got it all for $36,300!!!! He quoted me $37,600 for an '07 with the same options. ALWAYS deal with a fleet manager - you can mass e-mail them - they will give you the best price before you even walk in. Never deal with the crooks on the lot....

Just had the clear bra/red-out installed today and tint tomorrow. I love this car!

40K OTD for the things you listed is an excellent price. Practically too good to be true. You shouldn't even need to ask.

That's like ~2K below invoice, depending on how much sales tax is over there.
