Default Has anybody put a deposit on the IS-F yet?

I was thinking of putting down a deposit... Has anybody done that yet?

If so, any discount of MSRP?

read the thread about "only 1,000 produced." most dealers aren't accepting anything yet, but i think there's one person that has a deposit down. and i doubt there will be very little discount of msrp, if any at all. just depends on the dealer i guess...

if interested in placing a deposit just call and ask to speak with the sales manager at your local dealer. i wouldnt expect any discount at all, but dont let them try to charge you over msrp either. i would go in once you confirm they will accept your deposit and have them draw up a buyers order and have it specify your price not to exceed msrp.

I have my deposit on the IS-F at steven creek lexus in san jose.

I was told that pricing will only be released 3 or 4 weeks before the car hits the show room. So, most likely, it will just depend on supply and demand. If a lot of people want the car, i will get it with MSRP, and if no one wants it, I will get huge discount.

How much did you put down (if you don't want to post that here, maybe you could send me a private message)? The reason I ask is because I got a call from my dealer asking for a deposit, wanted to gauge how much I should give them.

Hello all;

Even i want to put an Order for IS-F! Did anyone from Florida put an order yet ? How much deposit is everyone paying???

This is my B'day gift to myself; I contacted Lexus Dealers on Feb 1st; but no luck!

Probably my budget is OTD : 60K. Not beyond that!

Thanks.
