Default Discount on 07' IS250s?

All of a sudden at Cal State LA alone, i've spotted about 6 new IS250s.. last quarter there were only about 3 around CSULA, but now added are a couple of new IS250s.. just wondering if dealers are giving good deals for new 2007 IS250s...

Good deals on 250s, and practically no deals at all with 350s.

Lexus needs to change their production numbers -- a little less 250s, a little more 350s (although this does help keep our 350s' resale value...).

Yes it does, so be thankful for that!

I was wondering the same thing, I have found so many more IS250 AWDs on the road in NJ. I betcha in the northeast the 250 has such an advantage because of snow potential and better dealer pricing on 250s. I do not see as many 350s as say Infiniti G35s.

Dealers here in Northern California have an overstock of IS250s so they are able to sell them at under invoice, just to get them off their lots.

It's darn near impossible to find an IS 250 RWD in the mid-atlantic ... they are all AWD ... that's why, I ordered from Cali ... that, and the thousands I saved! haha

It's almost impossible to find a 350 and when you do find one dealers aren't willing to go much more than $1000 off. After 6 months of trying to find a 350 that matched my requirements I gave up and went with the 250.

07' IS250 has a big discount in Northern California.
Just got my 07' IS250, MSRP 35222. OTD 32000, SF tax at 8.5%.

almost 1800 under invoice.

Go Serramonte Lexus,
Steven Creek offered me 32600 OTD
Longo offered me 32400 OTD
sacramento offered me 32700 OTD
Lexus of Cerritos offered me 33000 OTD

Maybe hes flying over and driving it back, or driving over with someone or something. You dont have to ship it...

I had found a black black 350 in Denver. They quoted me $700 to ship it directly to my front door. As much as I wanted it we just couldnt work out the numbers. With the shipping costs I was only going to get like $400 off MSRP and I just wasnt willing to pay that much.

yup, agree with everyone else, 250's are a great deal right now in cali, all dealers have tons of them in stock (as opposed to a year or two ago when the 250's were harder to find than the 350s).
