Hey, i recently purchased the 2011 IS350 AWD and i got them to lower the price by $1000. I'm not sure if thats a good deal or not but i went through hell to get them to go from $500 to $1000.

Yeah, its a brand new MY, and the IS350 AWD just came out ... so I don't think the dealer will budge much on their price.

GL on your search ... im sure you wont be disappointed

Given the 350 is less common than the 250 to start, and the AWD model is brand new as of about last month, you're not likely to get a lot off sticker.

A better question might be to ask yourself if you really need AWD, as lots of folks have been getting around just fine with RWD for most of the last 100+ years...Including plenty of folks in RWD IS350s in NY, Chicago, Canada, upper midwest, etc... and it'd be a whole whole lot cheaper to buy the car too... besides the thousands less in sticker price, you ought be able to get a RWD 350 a lot closer to invoice than sticker price.

id say you are better off looking for a 09-2010 is350 RWD, in chicago the snow doesnt get too bad so a set of good all season or winter tires will get you around, idk how ny winters are so i cant chime into that

Hey guys, I also pulled the trigger and am getting a 350 AWD. I got $1750 off MSRP and that was with some help from family friends. They didn't even have any on the lot so they have to bring one in from out of province, which was negotiated into the deal for free with some winter mats. As mentioned earlier, I'm pretty fortunate to get that off and I'd be surprised if someone can get more off as these cars are pretty new and easily could fetch sticker price. But this is definitely good information to share. When I was shopping for one, I couldn't find any information on what people were paying.

Awesome! Me too! What color did you get for your IS350? I got the Starfire Pearl but just the basic model, and i am also expecting to pick up mine either end of next week or the following week. BTW, you got a wicked deal! Congrats!

Hey blue, I got Obsidian black! My last car was white so I wanted something different this time around. However, I love the Starfire pearl and almost got one anyways. In the end the only IS 350awd they had on the lot was a white demo with over 200km's on it so I opted to wait for a black one doing a dealer transfer. As soon as I get her I have a friend that does 3M and tint so I'll definitely get a full bra and 35% tint all the way around. I'll wait till spring to get some wheels but will probably do the F sport spings before then. Any plans with yours?

Obsidian black is nice! That was a good call on not going with the demo because i test drove it and lets just say i tested it alright . I won't be doing much until spring also but i think my first investment will be some sweet rims. Oh btw, i will be doing my 3M at Garageworks for $950 for full hood and front bumper.
