$500 over invoice in june?? that doesn't sound right. i don't think the 07s were even out in june.

are you sure it wasn't an 06?

Tsitalon1, you should check what the MSRP on the sticker of the car... depending on the dealership, they may have one model with the car you are looking for with some minor additional adjustments, and that could affect the pricing.

Also depending on your region, the car could be priced higher or lower.

Ok... best price I got so far was
43052 + TTL which is about 45097

For:

07 is350
lux with 18's
nav/ml


Should I take it ?

Depends upon your situation. Do you need the IS right away, or can you wait another couple of months ? Is this the only Lexus dealer in town or are there other dealers that you can buy from ? The Rule of Thumb for a good deal is to get OTD for the same price as MSRP. IMHO, you should wait and let the deal come to you. Lexus has a big sales event every December (December to Remember), so by then I'm sure you can do much better than what they're quoting you right now . . .

Well, my local dealer beat the previous deal...so I pulled the trigger.

44,500 OTD for specs below. Dealer did not require me to pay a deposit which I though was pretty cool! I know I could've saved another $1000 if I wanted to wait another 3-6 months... But I want it NOW

congrats on the purchase... if you want it now, you just have to pay what they're asking. i paid sticker for my 250 when the IS came out last October. i could've waited or bought a fully loaded TL or G35 but i wanted something different. TLs and G35 are a dime a dozen here... Im sure the IS will be like that shortly.
