Default Buying an IS350 in the Southwest or West?

Hello all, I'm sorry if this shouldn't be a new thread, please refer me to an old thread if there is one.

My sister is looking to get an IS350, the only must-haves are navigation and HIDs, what should she be expecting to pay? I looked at the numbers today and I think the dealer was offering MSRP, we didn't try to negotiate or anything though.

By the way, we live in AZ.


Thanks for any help guys?

Hello, I'm also in AZ, Gilbert area. I paid sticker for my 350 last October. I would think you could do better now as the 07's will be out in the next month or so. I purchased my 350 at Scottsdale Lexus, probably the best experience I've had buying a car. See Jim Hurd in sales. Their service dept is also exceptional. I don't think you'll have any problems finding a 350 with the options you want. Good luck!

Realfresh, to get the HID, you have to step up to the lux or sport package. One valley dealer quoted me a lux pkg. 350 for $40500 (MSRP $44429). I just bought a 350 from Lexus of Chandler for $37600 (MSRP was $40784), so AZ dealers are willing to discount if you work with the right people. Call around and talk to the internet sales guys to find out what their inventory is. Often, they will quote you a price too. I talked to every dealer in the valley so I could give you some insight, starting points, etc if you want to email or PM me for details

or you can wait for 07, then HID is a standalone option and you dont have to buy a 3500 dollar package

On the 07's the HID are going to be a standalone option so you should be able to get the nav and the HID's without having to get the LUX or the Sport packages. Here in the midwest last time I at was the dealer a 06 Nav non lux non sport (no HID's) sticker said 37,000 but that was a 250 they didn't have any 350's

Since 2007 is coming with stand alone HID option, is it possible to add HID to a 2006 premium package that didn't come with factory installed HID? I don't mean installing it myself as a aftermarket......but having Lexus install it since 2007 has this option.
