Just special ordered an 07 350 with Sport Pkg, ML/NAV, Spoiler, and GFX plus some other goodies.
MSRP came to a little over 52k. They started me out with an offer of 48k got them down to 46,500.
Of course i offered a very very large down payment, so my situation might be different. Had to stand up and walk out a few times.

Well unfortunately I was only able to negotiate a discount of $1500 off MSRP. I have always wondered how employees of dealerships that sell cars at zero profit or at a loss, as has often been reported here, manage to feed their families.
What am I missing??

It all depends on current market conditions. You might think it is a joke and just walk away, but if there is someone who wants the car bad enough the dealer can wait and sell it for more money. Then the dealer thinks the joke is on YOU. It's all about supply and demand. You can't change that equation in the end.

Lexus employees are paid per unit (flat rate)... not commission.

My dealer is offering me an IS350 for NAV/ ML/ LUX+ 18 inch/ Rear Spoiler for $41,900. Looks like this is a good deal seeing as there's a low supply for them. Any one knows when Lexus will stop taking special orders? I want Glacier Frost Mica if I am going to pay at that price.

350's are so scarce now... I wonder if the 2008's are planning to have a horsepower boost or something? The 350 is a huge car for Lexus... there's gotta be a reason for the scarcity.

I have spoken to many sales reps and they say there will be no major changes to the '08 model (e.g. no engine boost, etc). I'm not really sure why 350s are so scarce... but it does sound like I can still get a pretty good deal on the West Coast. So, I will probably start calling around there and see what kind of deal we can work out.

Yeah what's even worse is that every commercial that I see for an IS is for a 350. They are advertising a car that most dealers don't even have on the lot and if they do they only have one or two.
