I also agree with a previous poster - the retail prices of 2 year old cars are more than you can buy one new, if you negotiate a couple hundred over invoice! Who on earth is buying these used Lexus at those prices?

Strange... I am planning on buying a new 2008 IS350 with a few packages and paying a max of $36000, tax and tags not included.
The invoice of the base is $30,000 I believe. I won't be paying a cent over invoice either..
So I think your $48k price was either not the best deal or way overboard on options.

I agree.
I got my 06 IS350 from Nalley Lexus in Atlanta for 36K even. It is base with no options other the summer tires and 18'' wheels. To be paying over 45K for any IS (not F
) is ridiculous.

Well neener neener neener, I think not getting some key things such as NAV, ML, sports and a nice clear bra and not paying $48K for them is rediculous. we can all play this game.

Maybe you just bought yours when the model came out, but I just specced out your car (2008 new) on Edmunds:

If you want to get a basic model that is your prerogative, but don't diss those who have options such as Nav/ML/Sports Package/Ground Effects/Spoiler/XM/Lexus Optional wheels (G-Spiders, ISP, or X), etc. These options make the car more enjoyable and will quickly push the cost northward. Mine topped out at MSRP of $49,000. Whether you think that is going overboard is immaterial. Many buyers want a fully optioned vehicle, some don't. It is buyers choice.

$48K? even 45K? to each is own.

Good luck with your insistence that, "I won't be paying a cent over invoice".

That is just a lot more than many of us have payed for a 350.
49K for a 350? My goodness...
I will leave it at that.

Nav and ML, plus Sports, plus Pre-collision, plus Park Assist, plus headlamp washers... that'll get you to 48k MSRP on an 08. I suppose you could slap some G-spiders on there to jack it up a bit more.
(what others are paying on the above 48k car is about 45.5k BTW, and that's a couple years later with lower demand)
Invoice on said car is 41.5k
So if he got all of the above options then what he paid, when he paid it, isn't at all unreasonable.
Now if it was -just- the couple of options in his sig (Sports, Nav, and ML) then yeah, I hope he got a free case of vaselline with that purchase... But if he got PCS, that's almost another 3k to MSRP alone, closer to 3500 if PA is on there too

So, I was just curious and went to Carmax to see what they would offer for my 2006 IS350. They offered 28,000. Now my car is an 06 with 26,000 miles and I had it for over 2 years (28 months to be exact). In addition, I bought it for sticker price which was 38.5K and with tax, wheel insurance, and stuff it came out to a touch under 42K. So for 28 month usage with 26 K miles I paid a total of 14K. That's like 500/month at 12K a year with 0 down.
I don't think you can lease an IS350 for less than 500/month with 0 down - can you?

If you consider “getting bent” pointing out that you just insulted a lot of people on this board that bought fully loaded IS350's then so be it. As you can see by the following responses.
