I am planning to buy a new IS 08 but i have a few questions.
1. How much can i get it for fully loaded?
2. Is it worth getting it fully loaded?
3. How is the mark levinson system?
More questions as i think of them.

1. unless you want the MT... otherwise since you willing to spend money on fully loaded, why not spend a bit more to get a 350?
2. fully loaded=a lot of junks that you might not care about
a lot of members here buy a car and they picking and buying their own upgrade that they like from CL vendors.
3. I am not sure, i don't have it. Sorry

The price will increase way too much I think...

get a IS350 please, I don't wanna hear you complain about how the IS250 is slow in a month from now!!! hehe
I see you're in NJ.
Are you special ordering a 250 RWD?
Lexus doesn't allot any 250 RWDs to NJ dealers or much of the east coast and inland fron Virginia up.

go to edmunds, plug that all in and it will spit out invoice and msrp for your area. and those numbers are pretty on, it was when i bought my IS, only off by a few hundred.
http://www.edmunds.com/new/2008/lexu....html?action=2
link is not totally wokring but click on the LT and VN packages
has everything you listed with the 18's. read what the packages are and then select them or you will be selecting some of the same things.
this price does not include small things, like all weather mats rear spoiler ect..

This is really starting to **** me off that it is going to take 4 months!
Does special order really take 4 months?
On edmunds does the Intuitive Parking Assist come with the LT package?
I have heard that the Nav system comes with the LT package?

fomr what the info box says and what my knowledge is, is that the navi and Ml system is seperate from the Lt package. also parking assist and the radar cruise are not included with LT or the navi mark levinson package.
haggle through them, well you know what invoice is, so you know they have room in the car. i would try to get them down to 500-1000 over. get 3 separate quotes from other dealers and walk in with those and say this x dealership is willing to do this for me, what will you do? i would create a competition between all three of them and keep bouncing around and haggling till you get to where you want to be.

just drive around with the snow mode on for a bit and then turn it off. the car becomes like 3-4 times more responsive with it off and it feels like you have all the power in the world

Well....as for a 250 fully loaded it seems you will be spending about $40,000. The dealership is always the best way to go especially that you can bargain the price down a little. I was going for about the same, but didn't have the money. Only had $37,000 on me and the car was going for almost $41,000 fully loaded. I was able to bargain a little and get it down to almost $37,000. They didn't want to give me it for how much I had so I just went with something else and especially they didn't have the color I wanted fully loaded.
For me, I love my IS250 RWD and I especially like the color for it.
