Hey guys, I was shopping around for my 2nd car and I decided to go with NEW IS.
and I been reading forums and researching about price and have few questions.
first of all, How much did you guys pay for your IS in Dallas, TX area.
and does anybody know how long I have to wait for IS250 with nav or without it?
and my last quesiton is what is the lowest interest rate I can get wtih over 750 score
in Dallas?
oops, I have two more quetions... will there be new 07 IS comeing out sooon? what would be the changes?
Thank you!!!

oh by the way, I went to couple of another car forums and you guys are the most helpful and
most well organized forums!!!
This is the one of the reason I decided to go with IS!!!

I payed MSRP. I got a IS350 in about 7 weeks. Keep your color options open to get it sooner. I got a rate of 5.9% through Lexus which was better than anybody else I looked into. Info about the '07 has been said to be released in October. Therefore, no one knows the changes. All we can do is speculate.

Cheers.

dfw350

i bought end of february 2006, waited 3 weeks since the day i walked in and inquired about it because it was already on the way i guess someone cancelled the order of the exact car i wanted.
i got is350 w/sport +navigation +ml audio and i got 2200 knocked off msrp + free tint.

I order my IS350 w/Nav/Lux in Nov 05 and delivery took 16 weeks from Park Place Lexus in Plano. Kim Bergman was the sales rep and I got a $2000 discount from MSRP. I believe the IS supply pipe is begining to fill and you should not have to wait long.

Nice!!! thank you for fast reply!!!
I will check out Park Place Lexus soon and I will let you guys know how it turns out!!
$2000 off sounds really good deal!!!
Thank you again!!

I shopped it the DFW area. Grapevine told me 5 1/2 months and MSRP. But, last week I went and picked one up in Colorado for about 10% off.

Where in Colorado? Kuni in Littleton?

Frisco

Mike you are correct.

I searched and bought mine (350) about a month ago. You have 4 options in the DWF area:. Sewell in Dallas and Fort Worth and Park Place in Plano and Grapevine. Although the 350's were not on the lot, each one ( I didn't go the Sewell Dallas) had at least (2) 250's with and w/out nav on the lot with more comming in. All were offering me between $1500.00 and $2000.00 of MSRP. I ended buying one off the lot from Sewell Fort Worth $2,000.00 of MSRP and free tint.

Good luck

Interesting. I just talked to Sewell Dallas (where I have previously bought a total of 3 Lexuses), and my sales guy seemed really disinterested in the whole thing. Said the nearest 350 that would possibly meet my specs was in Georgia and he'd have to work a trade and get it shipped here. And he didn't seem to be in any hurry to do it.

I wasn't asking for anything odd - just a 350 Premium with Nav, and not black or white. I think the thing that he didn't like was that I have a lease car that I want to terminate a couple of months early and use it as a trade. That hasn't been a problem in the past with other trades, but he seemed to want a quick easy sell. Screw him.

I think I'll try Park Place in Grapevine and see what they say.

Thanks!

Mike_TX

Was that the Plano store or Grapevine?

Mike,

I think it is going to be tuff to find what you are looking for, at least till the 07's arrive. I got the feeling the allocation for the DWF area was dwindling a month ago. I would recommend Park Place Grapevine, ask for Pat Lafertly he is first class. In fact I was going to buy a white 350 from him, but found a tungston pearl on the lot in Ft. Worth and they made me a better deal. I think Grapevine would have matched the deal, but did not a TP comming in.

I haven't asked any dealers yet.
but it seems like there are some 250s sitting in the parking lot and it's easier to get discount
about $2000 off than 350s? am I right?
because I don't think I can afford 350 yet......
So I am just interest in 250s now.
I like nav too but... I don't know if I can pay for it either......

pkvir

I think it would be just as easy, or easier to get to get $2,000.00+ off a 250. Why don't you e-mail all the surrounding dealerships and shop on line. You can find out the inventory and play one against another without leaving your house.

Thanks, pkvir. I don't doubt any local dealer would have to go outside the area to get one. Unless, of course, there just happened to be a few trickling in not already spoken for. But a dealer trade is sometimes an acceptable alternative to buying out-of-state.
