I had a good experience dealing directly with the sales manager at Highland Park Lexus. I didn't see many/any used IS350s when I bought mine in August 2006 but he gave me a good deal on a new one with exactly the options I wanted.

I dont' think woodfield has any used IS350's right now. Arlington, from my experience, matched the best prices I could get anywhere else, plus they're the closest to where my parents live. Again, that's on new cars. Not much to compare when you're looking for Used.
And I don't think many people can get below invoice around here... you probably meant under MSRP...

Thank you everyone for your replies. I'm still looking but thats only because I really want a Matador Red IS350 with either Cashmere or Sterling interior and the lexury package. I was able to negotiate a couple pretty good deals but I decided not to buy because the color just wasn't what I wanted.

obvilionis, for the price you are paying, you can get a new one, that is if you can find one at invoice.
Actually, the dealer at woodfield lexus said he is very willing to work with me on the price. He verbally said a couple of hundred dollars above invoice. I'm also seriously considering getting one now. However, I'm flying tomorrow on an international business trip and won't be back until April 18. I was thinking maybe we can both go hussle that guy to further lower down their prices (that is if I decided to finally get one), you know, get 2 cars from that guy.
FYI, I forgot where I read it. The IS350 ain't selling as well as they are expected, and they are more willing to negiotate the price.

Hi,
I am ready to purchase a IS 350 in Tungsten Pearl - Base Model MSRP $36,420. What are the chances that these dealerships have that in stock? I'm willing to go up to $35K.

Honestly, probably zero chance. Its pretty hard to find ANY model car from any dealer that has no options much less an IS350 which tends to have at least one large option package slapped onto it by default regardless of region. Special order could get you a base model but not sure if you'll get as good of a discount. Might be worth looking at the IS250 or a car w/ more value for money if price is a big concern.
