I managed to get a $4000 discount off the OTD price on my '14 Lexus IS250 Fsport Obsidian/Black interior.

What does that even mean? Otd price tells us nothing.

I picked out the top 3-4 hungriest dealers and went through several rounds from there. It was actually kinda fun.

Had a few dealers that were pathetically condescending, including the one in my own town. Totally worth shotgunning all over the place (I did 10+) to find the dealers willing to live up to that denotation.

It didn't work in my case. When I tried that, the dealers around me would respond with "I have the car you are looking for. Come on in for a test drive." when asked for their best OTD price. When I tried asking again, they would ignore me. Except for one dealer that offered $450 over invoice on my first email for the car I wanted but had to order.

Kinda hard now that Lexus is pressing commercials advertising cars they don't have the demand is way up and they don't have product. Least here in my area. Early on it seems people could get cars. Now it is getting harder to get cars.

Ordered my car two weeks ago it leave Japan tomorrow or today Japan time since it's already almost 9am there.

I'm going with RWD with second set of rims for snow tires. I hope I don't regret it.

I placed special order for my IS350 F-Sport RWD Obsidian / Rioja Red. Dealer here seems to only have AWD.

On my special order I optioned:
- Nav w/ ML
- VGRS
- BSM
- PCS
- Pwr Shades
- Paint Protection Film
- Cargo Net
- Wheel Locks

Dealer said 60-90 days before I would get this at which time I have the option of trading my current car in for agreed upon price or sell it on my own.

My local dealer is running a lease special through September on the 2014' IS 250 with an MSRP of $37,188 for 27 months... NO money down. I was just wondering if thats a good deal or can I do better? Seems that is the best one going anywhere that I've checked.
