Default 2011 Leftover....

Found a 2011 IS-F (MSRP of $66,000), that dealer has marked $7,000 off, bringing it to $59,000. Car has 80 miles on it. Any thoughts how this deal sounds or should I expect better? I just bought a 2011 BMW 535i after getting rid of my GT-R and I miss some fun factor. I know the IS-F isn't near the car the GT-R is, but I figured it's put a bit of spice back in my daily routine. Thoughts on pricing?

Not too bad at all...

with an MSRP of $66,180 the invoice is right around $59,519.. for a 2011 IS-F

If you are readly to lock in a deal offer them $58,000 + TTL and maybe settle for $58,500 + TTL..

Good Luck!!

Robbie, we're going tonight. Trade me the GT-R for a week or so if I buy it! I figured the ballpark they have it priced in would be on par for a good deal...just wanted to see if anyone else is finding "better" deals.

A few of us have picked up a 2011 for under $59k (including $1k Lexus loyalty) before the 2012's came out. I would try to get below that.

Curious why you got rid of the GT-R?

Looking like anything in the $58k range is the going rate...Fred, did they throw anything in...i.e. tint, wheel waranty, extended warranty, etc...

Have a 3 year old child with another due in June. My wife just bought a new Escalade that does most of the hauling. I originally bought the 535i for more room, but turns out we don't use it much with our child, but still feel the need for a sedan (just in case). I was driving an RX330 for a daily driver, but hated it, so I got rid of it and the GT-R for a nice sporty sedan. Just can't bring myself to drive a "beater" everyday or I'd have kept it.

The only thing they threw in was a cargo net nothing else.

Got them down to $58k, but they're trying to take me to the cleaners on trade. I left with my final offer and they told me they'd call in the morning...so we'll see what happens.

I got mine on the 1st. Selling price was 59k with 1k loyalty and 750 rebate. Final price was $57250

Good deal if you ask me. I love my 11 more than the 08. Much better ride and the interior is more comfortable too.

How about a use once in the high 40's or low 50's? It's a Lexus and pretty sure you don't need to buy a new one.

Good bargaining skills.. You’re doing great so far..

If they call back, just remind them you are ready to sign on your final offer.. If they are looking to sell the leftover, they will tell you come on down..

But remind them, it's to sign on your final offer and not to restart the negotiating process..

Good Luck

They always try and push one end or the other. If they drop the asking price they try and lower the trade in value. Sometimes one way works better (Although if you get them to lower you can always try and sell privately)

Anyway good luck and wishing you all the best on the deal. Managed to get a cracking deal myself a few weeks ago that really was a case of not even having to think about it as the offer was just too good to turn down.
