I personally don't understand why people go to the dealers and talk about invoice/MSRP/internet pricing. All you should talk about is your OTD price, period. Yes you can use invoice (more like what YOU think the invoice is because really no one knows except for the dealers themselves) to haggle with the dealer but ultimately OTD is what you're going to pay. The last 3 cars I bought I never really knew what the invoice was or MSRP. All I know is my OTD price.

If you don't know what the dealer paid for it (~invoice price) you don't know if your OTD price is good or not. You must know what the unit cost the dealer to gauge your deal. Otherwise, if we both shop for the same car and I get it for $2k less than you I definitely got a better deal than you. But if you are just gauging it on the OTD price all you are measuring is your pocketbook thickness and how much you are willing to pay.

Are you saying someone got a new IS350 with Premium Package for $29,100 OTD? That can't be right.

I don't think you can even get an IS250 for $29,100 OTD. At least I've never read a price anywhere near that on this site. I got mine for about that much before TTL, which from what I've read is a very good deal.

I think it's possible. IS250 with premium package for $29,000 before ttl. That would be around $32,000 out the door. Some are getting it for $33,000 out the door so it shouldn't be too far off.

JackBlack, how much did you get your IS250 and with what package if you don't mind me asking? I'm just curious because I'm going to try and get one this weekend. An IS250 with Premium Plus Package, maybe with HID and 18" wheel.

I think that's exactly what I got. IS250 with Premium (perforated leather, heated/ventilated front seats, wood trim), adaptive HID headlights, 18" wheels, plus accessory package (cargo net, wheel locks, trunk mat). Comes out to an MSRP of $35,222. I got mine for $29,486+TTL. I've heard of people doing a few hundred better, but I didn't work hard at all for my price. I just sent a few emails and took the best price I got.

Thanks for the help. I'll try and get that price or even less if possible. It just sucks though that in my area, none of the dealerships wants to give out qoutes through the phone or e-mails, it's either you go there in person or nothing.
I'll start heading to the dealers in an hour or two and see what I get. Thanks again for the info.

^^^ I was thinking of the same thing but I just want to make sure I don't run out of '07 IS250 since deals on these are better since they're trying to get rid of it.
I'll try and keep it updated and see what deals I can get.
