I am thinking a stripper IS 350 with added moonroof package (adds just the moonroof 
...I live in Canada) with a crystal white exterior and cashmere leather or a black onyx 350 one black leather. I can do the stereo myself. The IS already has a great cabin acoustically. The IS 350 has as well in Canada 10-way power adjustable seats for the driver and passenger, and they get heated/ventilated seats as well. I sat in the IS 250 AWD at my Lexus dealership today (the first one they got... and it is already sold) and let me tell you: the back seat ain't as bad as people make it out to be. It is indeed inhabitable and I am 5'11 and quite muscle-bound. If you are worrying about your kids fitting back there, don't. It isn't spacious, but it fits an adult comfortably providing an NBA all-star isn't sitting up front. I am hoping to walk away with this car 6-8 months from now at about $46k-ish Canadian. We'll see when pricing is announced for Canada tomorrow!

I'm a noob. Just started reading about the is250 MT. How is this range possible when the Performance Luxury+ package is about $3500 and the NAV w/ ML is $4000?

Also, this post is about how much you want to pay, not how much you're actually paying.

I picked the $30-32,500 range.
I want an IS250 Auto or Manual (havent decided yet) with Luxury Packge or Sport Package.
I think I can get it btw $30-32,00 if I wait long enough. I want at least $3000 off MSRP before I get one.

I recieved a great deal from Balise Lexus in West Springfield, MAss. They were willing to work with me, and out of the 4 dealerships I went to they were the most down to Earth. I'm not going give an exact price, but lets say at the end of the day I was very happy overall.
If you do live in that area ask for Ed or Jim, both sales rep..really good honest guys.

Around the same for a 350 fully loaded, the thing that got me is that they were willing to work with me, and they were knew the car. I'm also in my early 20s but felt they treated me like any other buyer.

IS250 MT. Add Sport Package (ST) and Navigation System Package (NV) for a total MSRP of $36,855. Invoice of $32,127. I will probably order if I can get about 1/2 way in between the MSRP and Invoice so about $34,500 or so which is $2400 over invoice and plenty of profit for the local dealer. I guess if I wait longer I would expect closer to invoice.
If the local dealer will not budge enough, I might re-consider the 2006 Acura TL. I could get the TL with nav and manual for probably at least $2000 or more off MSRP so about $34,000 or less.
I like looking on edmunds.com to get the pricing since lexus.com only will show what might be in the area. I guess I will need to special order.

I paid flat MSRP ($44,995 if I remember correctly) for my IS350. Luxury+ML/Nav and parking sensor, purchased in Ohio (because ML isn't available without a factory order in Western region). Driving it back to California tomorrow -- it'll put some miles on the car, but what better way to have fun with the new toy?
And after reading Mickeyc001's post, I'm thinking I bought in the wrong state. Holy smokes, but that's a deal!
