I'm planning on going to Glendale, Cerritos, SouthBay, Beverly Hill, NewPort and Longo Lexus to find the car that I want. But I really don't wanna just walk in and deal with a random Salesman..

.
IS250 fully loaded, Premium Pkg, Nav & Accessory Pkg was quoted
$32000 plus Tax..
can I do better than this??

Newport lexus did not give me any decent prices for the car. They practically laughed at me when i told them the price another dealer was offering. So needless to say, i never went to newport.
I emailed many, many lexus dealers in socal and Julian (internet manager) @ Glendale lexus beat them all. There was one dealer in san diego that got close, but wouldn't beat or match glendales price.

thanks everyone..
I'll definitely contact Marc at Longo Lexus for more detail.
for now, Glendale, Longo, and Beverly Hills Lexus dealers are the ones that I'm considering to go..
BTW..forgot to mention that they've offered me $750 cash rebate upon purchasing a new car since I'm in the Marines..

Ok what I understand most of these IS250s in Cali will just have a certain pre-set options. this does not exhaust every option you can get for the car if you had it custom ordered, but I am talking about cars that will be at the dealer's lot. base model with upgrade HIDs, premium package = ventilated seats, etc, and the 18" wheels, accesssory kit which is trunk mat, wheel lock, cargo net, lexus applique. This seems a very common configuration and MSRP at approx $35222. deviation from that would be a spoiler +$200 (invoice) or so, nav system. +$2000 (invoice).
TRDcorolla you got a great deal, you must bought earlier in the year because they had a incentive. I paid $700 more than you (in May). It was ok deal for the time.

It seems there are people here that have a HUGE misconception of what fully loaded is...the OP is not getting quoted anything close to a "fully loaded" car and by looking at TRD's sig and what he says he paid for his car, it is far from "fully loaded" also. Am I the only one here that thinks that a "fully loaded" car has every option that is offered for that particular model

, so that helps tremendously. If I ever buy another Lexus in the future, I will go see him--hopefully he will still be working there. If anyone want a new Toyota, go see Peter Mahana at Claremont Toyota. That guy is the number one sales person (you can tell because he has the most awards of all the guys there. There are plaques all over his office, lol. He's just the best. Super cool and friendly guy who doesn't jive anyone.

I still have his cell phone number in my contact list and quite a few of his business cards for referral purposes. This guy is probably the best when it comes to helping a person. Very patient too despite how popular and busy he is. He use to be a head honcho at Longo Lexus. Never found out why he went to Claremont Toyota. But how I know this guy was a very, very good friend of mine who's cousin was the boss of Peter. She 's always buying cars from him so the reputation is good between them. So anything I need, I got her to back me up with Peter, then he backs me up at Longo lol. He had a good deal setup for me on a Camry SE, but I made up my mind on a Lexus. It's like a chain. In the end, everyone helps each other out. I referred several people to Peter recently. He's a certified Scion sales specialist now and gave the two people I know very nice deals on the tC models. Oil change for life baby!!!
