I am in SoCal and am wondering how much I can get an 09 IS250 for? How much below invoice should I expect?

For a base IS250 (premium package only) the lowest I've ever seen is $32k OTD. I'm guessing that would be either invoice or $500 below invoice.

For that amount, you can pick up nicely equipped 06-07' IS350.

Only $500 below? I was hoping to get a much better deal than that. Maybe 1500 below invoice?

You should wait another month or two to get the best deal. Once the 2010's start coming in, they'll want to move out the remaining 09's as soon as possible. I've never heard of someone getting $1500 below invoice. $1000 maybe, but thats pushing it.

I got my base for 32,500 OTD 4-5 months ago, I think you can push 31500-32 OTD with the right negotiating.

MB is offering a 4k rebate on the C300's. Hopefully Lexus will do something similar.

Careful with the waiting. While prices get lower the longer you go, selection of colors and options dries up. So it's a gamble. I'd say now or one more month is a great time for an '09.
FWIW, I got $750 under invoice back in Feb '08. You should at least get that or more if you work at it (email all dealerships and make them work for you).

it depends on what you want to buy. I would really hurry up and buy one if you want the color you want.

Because some colors like the starfire pearl are still going hot because they don't have many left.

I managed to pick up one of the only black/black left that came into the port like 2 weeks ago and I can tell you OTD it cost me more than I wanted. Somewhere in the neighborhood of 40.

This would be a better move.. maybe a CPO Then you won't be paying their overinflated invoice price in the first place

thetrex

premium, nav, HID, spoiler, and smoked out rims

I think I got it quote for 38k otd. I think you're paying a little too much.

Even with 38k and fully loaded I still think that is too much. Most I would pay is 36k.

With 40k can't you just get a is350 or so?

alan003

do you have a pic of the smoked out rims?

thetrex

wow that is exactly what some people told me.

36k OTD for w/e it is that came with my package. But you know what, I called around and asked people and it seemed like no one had the color variation I wanted so that was probably why I got stuck with my price. I mean if I picked a less popular color and interior I would have gotten a cheaper price, but I guess you have to buy what you want to drive and not what you want to pay.

And no, I tried to get a is350 with nav, prem and all that good stuff for 40K OTD, dealer wouldn't do it. No dealer would do it. Believe me I made a trillion calls over the span of a month trying to find the best deal.

Sorry, I will try to take a picture for you when I can and post it.
