The 06 and 07 sport models do not have illuminated door sills. All 07s have the wiring to add the illuminated door sills. It has been reported that all of the 08s WILL have illuminated (white) door sills. When the 08s arrive, we can verify the report.

I would check with JM Lexus and West Palm Beach also - remember the 2008s are right around the corner so if you buy a 2007 right now you are going to lose some significant value more quickly than normal.
So either a) deal hard on a 2007, invoice or just above invoice, or b) deal hard on a 2008, above invoice but significantly lower than MSRP.
Do not buy anyone telling you that black is rare, its one of the more common colors in this region. In fact take anything said by the dealer with a grain of salt and use your common sense. The only true thing is that IS350s are made in significantly lower amounts than IS250s but I've never really seen a shortage of IS350s in Florida.

Just bought one today at Scanlon. Got the 2007 IS 350 today w/ NAV
MSRP on this vehicle is around $42k and I paid $37.5k (Which I think is pretty much invoice.)
Do you guys think I did good with this price? I haggled with every internet salesman at every dealer in Florida, and some GA. LOL!
This was at Scanlon Lexus in Fort Myers, FL.
They have no dealer fee, unlike most dealers. Only other dealer in Florida without dealer fee is Lexus of Orlando, however Orlando doesn't do dealer swaps.
Scanlon does, and they don't make you pay the swap fee (which is around $450)

I am in love with this car. Best choice I ever made.
I am so happy with our decision to get the IS 350. It's a beautiful vehicle.
