I just want to say thanks again for your help, I've learned a lot about leasing!
We will most likely go for the 350/month. Would be nice to go for 300/month but I think that's overdoing it and the dealer is running out of patience hahah.
Thank you again!

Hi Bill!
Here's what I got so far.
2015 IS250 AWD with only premium package (LED lights and heated/ventilated front seats) and a back-up camera. It's only $960 worth of options and I think you'll appreciate the heated seats this time of year.
MSRP-$40,970
Invoice-$38,843
Sale price-$35,970 (includes the $350 rebate)
27 months, 10k
Includes PA use tax (9%)
$350 per month, with nothing but the 1st of 27 payments due at signing (26 remaining)
He didn't want to give me the 2014 with Nav for that price. So he offered to 2015 instead. The price isn't counting the $1000 college grad program either.
Should I take this offer or keep pushing? $300 / month and it's a deal, but if he doesn't give me it stick with the $350/month?

When that college grad rebate is factored in, you should be down to under 310 - your girl's getting a great car for an Accord like payment!
I don't think you'll do much better, even if you wait - you might squeeze another $10-15 if you wait til the weekend.
Sounds like you're close.

Sounds like a pretty good deal - $5k off msrp is good for an IS250 in PA.

Yea I just notice the college grad rebate is a no go since she graduated in 09. Going to see if I can push it down to 300 / month. I just get nervous if I keep waiting too long this deal might be voided.

That's gonna be tough - you'll need to negotiate another $1200 off the sale price. That gets you to about 302.

Did I get a decent deal?
I just closed on a 2015 IS 350 F-Sport! Purchased in San Antonio yesterday. Anyone care to chime in on my deal?
Test drove both the 250 F-Sport and 350 F-Sport and went with the 350. I had a hard time deciding between the ultra white and nebula grey but ended up going with the UW because I fell in love with the color despite knowing it's going to be a PITA to keep clean!
- IS 350 (RWD), UW/RR
- F-Sport Package
- Blind Sport Monitor
- VGRS
- Navi
- Trunks Mat, Cargo Net, Wheel Locks, Rear Bumper App
- MSRP: $47,919
- Price Before TTL: $43,075
- OTD Price: $46,133

Additional services?
By the way, is it worth it to get any of the upgraded services? 8 year, 100,000 mile extended warranty for $2,600? $900 for what I believe was 8 year scratch and dent protection? What about $1,500 for included servicing for 50,000 miles and 5 years? I declined all of them but was told the pricing is good for a week if I change my mind.

Silver/black interior. Not sure what package this would fall under, but has Mark Levinson, BSM...? It was a lease vehicle but the previous guy put an after market intake and exhaust on it which is surprising considering it was a lease in its previous life.

Hi,
I'm currently looking to purchase a new 2014 or 2015 F-sport IS350. I've been emailing a local dealer and this is what they quoted me:
- NEW 2014 IS350 RWD F-Sport UltraWhite / RR
- F-Sport exhaust (+ $2,000 dealer option)
- F-sport cold-air intake (+ $750 dealer option)
- Carbon Fiber wrapped roof ( + $999 dealer option)
- Illuminated door sills (+ $600 dealer option)
- Navi
- ML Audio
- Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert
- Backup camera
- NO VGSR/powered telescoping steering wheel
MSRP: $52,576.00
Sale Price: $46,000
Estimated Trade-in: $8,500.00 (2006 Nissan 350Z)
Admin Fee: $75
Title, License, Registration, Processing and Trip Permit: $233.00
Estimated Sales Tax: $3,337.50
------------------------------------------
Balance: $41,145.50
Do you think this is a good deal? Or should I try negotiating lower? BTW - for my same car which I plan on trading in, I've seen it on sale for $13-$15K with the same amount of mileage (and KBB values about $9,900).
Thanks for any help and tips!!!
BTW - there is also a 2015 AWD IS350 F-Sport UW/RR with similar options EXCEPT for the exhaust, intake, carbon fiber roof, and illuminated door sills selling for MSRP $50,200 (I haven't tried negotiating this one yet). Do you think this is a better deal?

@ bgaerttner - Great question. No, I don't necessarily need those options, but I sure would like them (especially the carbon fiber roof). The thing is, within a 500 radius of where I live, there are only 2 UW/RR IS350 F-sport - the two I just mentioned (the RWD 2014 and the AWD 2015). So it's going to be either one of those, unless some new stock comes in the next couple months.
I just want to know whether or not the 2014 is a good deal (doesn't have to be a GREAT deal). If not, then I can try and negotiate on the 2015 AWD model.
Thanks for any suggestions!
