...plus my S5. I just stopped by yesterday to check the car out in person and I was really impressed. I am a previous 350 owner and the front end looks way better. I was just curious how much they would give for my S5 and the salesman wrote me an email today saying that I would be paying 1700 plus taxes . It doesn;t seem like a bad deal at all, in fact it seems like an awesome deal so I'm wondering if they made a mistake. My car;s MSRP was 58k and change and the IS-F they have is 61k. Maybe they are taking some off the sticker seeing that they have multiple IS-Fs in stock.

do it man. i think the depreciation rate on your S5 is steeper than the IS-F so here's a lucky chance at getting out from it and hopping back into the Lexus family.

if you still have your Is350 I would keep the s5... why would you want another car so similar to it...

I think he traded his IS350 for the S5.

Mr Johnson

Unless you really don't like the S5 keep it! The S5 was a solid look for me but the lack of the DSG and the availability issues kept me away.

do you lease, or did you finance your s5?...if you lease..maybe i will be interested in taking over payments.

1700 a month? Seems like a LOT of money?

Drunkebuda

do it do it...you will love it compared to the 350 :P get back in the lexus family.

What dealer? North or South Jersey?

NINEZeRO

correct

I love the S5, but it just doesn't deliver in the power department. It's just a tad faster than the IS 350 (0-60 in 4.8 vs 5.1, 1/4 in 13.2 vs 13.5). I really think they should have gave it at least 375-380 hp.


I financed it, so if I do trade for an IS-F it will be used to pay off my loan and then the car.


1700 total

I know it will be much better, but I'm not sure if they made a mistake because if I pay just 1700 plus taxes thats a extremely good deal. I'm assuming something was a mistake.

Pounce on the deal if you really want the IS-F. You got the deal in text right? They might honor your deal, if it seems reasonable.

I doubt he would write a price he won't honor. I honestly think the S5 is gorgeous and has a stunning interior, but it honestly isn't that fast. I test drove the IS-F this weekend right after driving a 350 and it was night and day difference. The gearbox is amazing, (for what it is at least), and it has a mean growl. With 0-60 times around 4.3 seconds I think it will definitely offer more of that power you are looking for.

1700 sounds like a great deal if you are sure you need more power.
Good luck!

They probably think they can flip the S5 and make some money there too since the car is currently a 4-5 month wait.

Can somebody help me out with the numbers here. I'm a little confused. Here's the breakdown of my situation:

My car's MSRP was around 58,000
I traded in my IS 350 for 28,500
I paid 10,000 down
So the balance was 19,500
I paid two payments of 700
They are willing to give me a IS-F for just 1,700 plus taxes and my S5 of which they will pay off the rest of the loan

Am I missing something here, its seems like I'm hardly losing anything. I feel I'm actually gaining since my car has 3,500 miles and is 3 months old.

I think you should do it. You have nothing to lose(except for the S5 of course) might as well pounce on the deal as soon as you can.
