i went to Len Stoler Lexus tonight to negotiate. i want an 08 is250 6MT base. no options, only NAV. They quoted me for $33,273. we started talking, and they dropped it another $800 to $32,480. i started to negotiate even more and told them im not going to pay over $30,000 OTD. they said that $30,000 is lower then then invoice and there is NO WAY i would get for that much,which i find hard to believe. i asked if ALL dealers pay the same invoice, he said yes, most definitely. is he illinformed or just lieing to me? so after talking for another hour, i left without the car and went home. i went to edmunds.com and checked the invoice and it said it is $29,877 and what most people paid was $30,774. is this right? i printed this page out and will confront them about it tomorrow.

Also, as a completely unrelated question: have you test driven the 6MT. I'd definitely recommend you try before you buy.

I agree with Recluse, I had the opportunity to purchase a starfire 6spd manual with NAV, 18's and hids for invoice which was a little over 31k. With NAV, that would 29.8k plus tax. After test driving the manual, I was dissapointed with the power and the transmission was not as smooth as many of the trannies that are out there like honda/acura offers. So I purchased the 350 instead.
