I meant when special ordering a specific trim / color combination, then waiting for it 2-3 mos. Are you guys still able to negotiate on the price for that?

Mine is coming brand new/packaged off the ship...It just so happened that the specific trim I wanted was already in transit to the dealer. Good luck!

The price still can be negotiated. I negotiated a discount on mine back in May when I ordered and all of the option prices had not even been finalized at that stage.

Yes, I special ordered an IS 350 F Sport last week and was able to negotiate a discount in the range being discussed on this thread

Awesome. I think when my lease is up on the GS, I'll get an IS. No one was budging from MSRP in July when I needed a car, so the lease prices were similar then. Hopefully in 2 years there's gonna be huge discounts to be had
