Is there going to be a 2026 IS. I see there won’t be 500 but haven’t read anything about the 300/350.

anyone seeing any deep discounts on 2025 IS350 FS? Lexus has become very hard to deal with on price since covid. I negotiated 10% off plus received a $3k military rebate on my BMW and probably left at last 2% more on the table!

 

I suspect that there will be very limited number on allocation, if any for the 26 MY. I do agree with you on the lack of flexibility from Lexus dealerships; if they're not a volume based business, you're going to have a rough time trying to find a great price on the vehicle of your choice.

In my experience, when I bought my 21 350FS, my main leverage came from getting a bullshit price on a car on allocation from another Lexus dealership in my area, then going to the dealership closer to my residence and negotiating from there. I managed to get pretty close to invoice price with some hard haggling, my 2k recent graduate rebate, and a $1500 trade-in value.
Since then, there really haven't been much in the way of incentives for new car purchases - I almost want to say it'd be a better value option to buy used at this point but depending on where you go and what car, mileage, you wouldn't be saving too much.

 

Production appears to be over/ending for the current generation IS. 2026 may see the introduction of all new IS. Nothing is confirmed for sure, nothing is known yet, and probably won't until fall. It could also be that they skip this next year and reintroduce the model for 2027. It's completely up to Lexus.

 

Unknown at this time. But I predict there will be a 2026 IS later this year. Same thing happened last year when most thought it was all over.
For a better deal, email as many dealers around you as possible. Tell them what you want and whoever gives the lowest price will earn your business. If you want one of the first 2026's, you are going to pay for it. If you wait till the end of December or the heart of winter, things may improve on the dealing. Bad weather usually keeps people away and dealers get hungrier.

 

I brought mine in July right after the announcement and the dealership had an advertised $3900 off MSRP on a loaded Infrared with 8 miles on the odometer. There are also several unlisted and stackable coupons you can use. They are Toyota employee and family ($1500), PGA golf member ($1000), Bank of America or Morgan Stanley Client ($500), Lexus Lease buyout from a NX or ES ($1500) besides the normal military and graduate rebates.

 

How does one get the Toyota Supplier Code or Bank of America Code to obtain employee pricing? I'm at the website and they are asking for a code number for each. And how do you get it to apply for Lexus?

 

The Toyota Vehicle Special Purchase Program is thru the dealership when you purchase the vehicle. All the other ones are coupons. I got the Morgan Stanley one thru Morgan Stanley.

Here is a link to the dealership where I purchased my vehicle. They're already giving a $3030 discount on this IS350 F-Sport. Click and expand the top right where it says, " See More Offers You May qualify for" under price for more info.

I can't go into much detail..... but yes. There is a 2026 IS350. There will not be a 2026 IS300 or IS500...

 

When will you be able to say more?

 

what’s your source, respectfully?

 

I too am interested in the 2026 IS 350 specifically the IS350 F Sport. Too many not sures out there, but a redesign and dropping of the V6 would be the end for me anyway. Right now, there are a shortage of F Sports with the desirable color combo, and discounts don't exist around my area. I'm not looking for a discount, but the fees and additional worthless dealer add ons are obnoxious Yes, if anyone is concerned, this would be the time to buy. F Sport designs are probably more price flexible, but I'm set on the creature comforts coming from the LS430. I guess it's wait and see.

 

Given that the official press release is now out, hopefully I earned your credibility

New front styling makes it look like it has a bigger front overhang. Going to say I like the current look better.

 

That big black hole (grill) in the front just gets bigger and uglier on every iteration.

 

^^ keep in mind that what people like (visually) is very subjective. What may be ugly to one can be an improvement to someone else
