Default IS 250 - Do I have room to negotiate?

Hello everyone

I wanted to get some advice, Im planning to get a 2008 IS 250

Bottom line $34,328.00 (invoice) is what Stevens Creek is asking for.

Do you think there's room to negotiate?

What about negotiating the destination fee?

Anyone ever negotiate the T.T&L?

Any reviews re: Stevens Creek Lexus

Thanks for the advise

so...theyre giving it to you for invoice? because if so, theres definitely NO wiggle room. either way, $34.3k for all those options is a GREAT deal imo

I also think it is a pretty good deal. I got mine last year from Magnussen's Lexus a Fremont for about 300$ more than you have for the same options. You may want to call up Magnussen and see if they can offer a better deal.

Who are you dealing with at stevens creek?

Can you make it easier to read? like just say what package, nav or no nav. Thats all we really need

Well aside from already a good deal I'd say dont go overboard on your negotiation. Instead of trying to get a price drop I would say try to get an addon or 2. I would give it a shot just because its worth it...I mean, afterall you have nothing to lose. I'd say maybe asking for tint to be included or all weather floormats still fits within reason.

Theres two internet sales people who work at stevens creek. When i tried to get floormats, they said "our managers got mad, because we gave them away like hotcakes in return for positive surveys on them and they werent allowed to do it anymore"

Also the parts department isnt at the sales location. They got a separate location for service/parts(located across the street from the airport)

invoice is basically bottom line pricing anywhere except socal... IS250 sells so easily...so you probably can't get any lower

go look at scanlonlexus.com they are in ft. myers florida and will quote you over the internet. i got a quote of 32,538 for is250 with premium and nav. no dealer fees. just add tax and title that's it. maybe you could use them to get better deal from your area dealer. my 2cents...

depends on where you live and who you are dealing with..
if you can't get a lower price..and
ask for all the accessories that you can possible get from the dealer
and tell them that you are interested in Lexus HKS or something..
they might be able to give you a good deal on those

My sticker says 38,687.00 I got it for about 35.5 OTD, I think they kinda ripped me off but whatever..the change to my payment plan is miniscule, I just wanted a damn lexus. It has everything you could add to an IS250 minus the sports package w/ lip kit and suspension.

+1 Otherwise you could be getting reamed on "document fees" or something.

But if you are truly getting invoice, you aren't doing bad at all.
