Default 2011 IS350 Fully loaded question

So I decided I want to purchase a Lexus. Comming from a family that always owned Toyota to included myself

1990 Corolla Wagon RIP (275,000)
1994 Toyota Celica GT (Sold) Joined the military
Present 2002 Toyota Celica GT-S (Selling)

My parents owned a Camery

Now I want sport with style and comfort so I figured the IS350 is the way to go. I customized the perfect IS for me RWD Fully loaded

The dealer gave me this quote, Now I have never purchased a brand new vehicle before and don't know all the gimmicks and tricks they play so I figured you guys can help me out if I am getting a good deal.

Note*

I did not haggle price as of yet

This is the lexus with the premium package
which includes:
Power tilt-and-telescopic steering column
Lexus Memory System
Electrochromic (auto-dimming) outside mirrors with auto tilt-down in reverse
Power rear sunshade
Bi-Xenon™ High-Intensity Discharge (HID) headlamps
Illuminated door-sill scuff plates
Rain-sensing intermittent windshield wipers with mist cycle


what do you guys think? Thanks in advance

My credit as it stands is 632 when I checked it yesterday.

They didn't run my credit but my bank pre-approved me at a 7.9 rate.

Thats what happens when you fall back on a student loan 5 years ago =0(

way over priced.. the most id pay is 45 310..
why the hell is the vehicle price at nearly 49k.
2011 is350 rwd with luxury package should be about 45k.
Fsport package is about 45k aswell, couple hundred cheaper than luxury package..
Dealer mark up.. Ill go to a diff dealership if I were you. At first i saw the price thinking this was a AWD, but after reading your post, its a rwd.. go else where.

I bought my 2011 is350 fsport for 44900. in january.
I know in may or so, there was another 500-700 dollars increase in price.. but still thats a lot!

That is a HORRIBLE PRICE. I see that dealer service fee 600 something wow. Tell them to climb a tree. I just got my 2011 is350 F for 500 over invoice. ASK TO SEE THE INVOICE. That is the starting point then work from there!

Also scratch the following dealer profit makers:

- Appearance Protection $499
- Door edge cup guards $299
- Purigen Lifetime/Replacement $89
- Theft Protection $299

That alone will save you $1186 plust tax.

The dealer service fee of $699.95 is ridiculous! I believe that fee is what some call the documentation fee. My fee was only $350.
