One thing I forgot to say to the OP, if you buy out and decide to drive it back home to avoid transport fee than you have to pay their State taxes. So if your State taxes are 3% and you buy from CA which is I believe 8% than figure that into your estimates. I think you have to register in that state too but double check on that.


Hella nice deal! Is that a own price or a lease transaction price?

 

Competition. So many dealership in so small radius wanting to gain customers for future services in their target areas.

 

$3500 under msrp of $46,722...this was back in early September. I know I could have done better if I waited...

 

Guess our dealers are just really hungry for the business... no idea though. Some of the dealers are not very friendly though. I've tried to deal with Newport Lexus and man oh man, what a bunch of stuck up salesmen. The first guy I talked to said they wouldn't be able to lease me a car unless I had a 720+ credit score. I almost laughed in his face... really? 720 minimum? What a load of garbage. You can lease a car with a 500 credit score but you'll pay out the nose for it.

 

Thank you all for your great feedback. I have taken it all into consideration when I went to my dealer yesterday. After long negotiations with them, apparently they won't go below the invoice price + $300.00 USD (Plus dealer fee, applicable taxes and plates fee) . As they saying that this is the only offer they can give for such demanding 2014 car. The salesmen was saying he could offer more discount if the car was 2013 model.

Please note that this is a "special order" car tho so they don't have the car on their lot yet. Also, I am buying it cash!

So all do you think this is a good deal?? or still I could get more discount if I did another round of negotiation?

 

Although it's not as good as deals from CA, I think that is fair deal. If they don't want to go any lower in price you may see if you can get maintenance/service added on.

 

Actually, they can go well below invoice because the dealer gets incentives. They also will show you the invoice price if you ask. Right now is the time to buy. You can get a great deal in December. The MSRP on my car was $42,988, invoice price was $40,200 and I paid $37,900 for my car. So depending on your build you can get a pretty significant discount (they aren't budging so much on the red interior). Right now with incentives dealers can go considerably below invoice. Make an offer that is low and see what they counter with. You can always walk away and more than likely they will call you back.

 

Without any other details it is hard to say, but I would say you did good especially considering we lack dealer competition. CO is not CA, so to think you can score the same deal as them is silly.

They can make crazy deals on 250s, a lot harder for the awesome deals on 350 F-Sports.

In addition I think most of these crazy deals we see are on leases.

 

I got about $3500 off mine

 

October - Nebula Gray 350 F-sport (BSM + Nav + Cargo Net + Wheel Locks + Bumper applique + Trunk Mat) @ $3000 below MSRP.

 

$3400 below MSRP.

 

So can I expect to get like an IS350 RWD with MSRP of $45,373 for close to $40K? Is $5K under MSRP doable here in Southern California at this time? Carsdirect pricing is about $4K under MSRP so I'm hoping that at the dealership I can get it to close to $5K under MSRP.

 

Was this a lease or purchase?

 

So I'm looking to purchase an IS350 and i've been looking at deals, people are saying December is the time to buy but I would think that January would be a better time to buy as the sales will have slowed down right after the Holiday seasons. Any thoughts on this?

 

they want to get rid of cars to meet their year end quota, the 1.9% for 60 months is only for december too if you are planning to finance
