ben: you need to register for the event before you get the coupon....

you need to present the coupon at the time of purchase (I've heard people calling corporate b****ing at them for that $750 and got the $ back.)

They did check the records to see if you have registered for the event or not in order to honor that $750

too late for now...but you can get one this time for your next car!

So it takes a couple of months for the coupon to arrive? My dad and i got an invitation but I haven't registered but if I sign up and not attend, would they still send me a coupon?

I used mine from last year's TOL towards my '07 IS250. Then to maximize my savings I used multiple security deposit lease during December to Remember.

if only you posted that comment right after you bought your car... i could of called a rep that I know and she could of sent you out a check for $750 from the corporate end- of course only after you sent me a few Ben Franklins for the contact.
Wanna hook me up a good discount for a ISx50 at the corporate rate

My dealer just told me the invoice of a non-nav IS auto w/o spoiler is $31,825 and that the $1000 back promo ended a few months ago. I think they all come with Prem package. You must have coupon to get the additional discount.

I would not suggest listening to them GNG. If that dealership won't entertain your business then move to the next one.

That invoice price seems much closer to having the factory nav

Do you think his invoice is right? I get confused as I hear there are actually two invoices - the fake one they show you, and the real one which places like Consumers Reports sell to you for $16. Plus all the back end incentives that you don't hear about. Do prices really fluctuate based on supply month to month? This dealer, who is really a nice guy, is telling me that they don't have as many IS' right now so the prices went up $500. Heck, I'll wait for a 2008 then if that's the case. How do you guys negotiate? I know I can just pull a number out of the hat (ie: "I won't pay over $32K out the door"), but there has to be a more accurate way to get a great deal that's fair to both parties.

It's been eight months since his purchase, I think the door to that option has long closed. He can try, but it's not Corporates fault he forgot about the coupon.

How long before the coupon arrives? I am waitlisted for LA for Aug 24th. I've heard a couple of weeks, and a couple of months. Anyone in the recent Taste have any insight on how long it takes?
