Default [New]What's the best price i could get an IS 300 for?

First and foremost, hello to all of you!! I am new here to your forum. I am more often found at www.Corvetteforum.com

I am looking into purchasing a Lexus IS300 with the base set up..
E-shift, escaine seating surfaces. Nothing too fancy. I've looked at all the CPO IS300's around and they're all dogged out, massive curb rash, bad repaints on the bumpers and dents.. So I guess new is the only way to get a nice one.

I would just like to see what most people out there are paying for their IS 300s.

Thanks for your time.

i don't know about 04 but i got my 03 5 speed and all other options possible including nav for 32k + tax and fees. that's pretty much invoice price (invoice + 100). i think 04 is about 500 - 800 more?

For the option setup you're looking for is the VK package (or was it VL). But what you're looking for is the Leather/Alcantara Value Package. Ecsaine is no more for 04. Right now, most dealerships won't go below invoice. Your best deal will be anything within 1k of the invoice price at this time. Later in the year, 500 or less above invoice is prime. I bought my 04 MSM w/Leather Alcantara Value Package from Longo just as the 2004 models rolled out in September. I still got a killer deal from Longo than the other 5 Lexus dealerships in the vicinity. Sure, it's not the best deal out there, but at the time, it was the best period.

Default here too

I posted this in another thread, but thought it might fit here too. After a brief conversation on the phone with the salesman he offered me $31,000 for a car that stickers around $34,100. This is an 04 Sedan, No Nav. I'm not sure exactly what options, he mentioned the LSD, VSC, etc. Said most of them are coming in this way. So I'm pretty sure I can get him to come down further once I go in later this week to hammer out the final deal.
