Curious what you folks think a car with these options is worth:

* Lexus IS250 awd- Smokey Granite
* ML
* Luxury Plus package

Edmunds says 34,900 is what others are paying and that 33,600 is invoice.

When I go on Lexus' website and build an IS I have a hard time building the model like I priced on edmunds b/c all the options include nav/ML. The cheapest option starts at 3,600 and goes all the way up to 6,700. Does anyone have any advice?

I was able to pick up my IS for $100 over the invoice listed at sites like carsdirect and edmunds. I shopped around, new exactly what I wanted and pulled the trigger close to the end of the month. I found it pretty hard to find the luxury package in the Northeast - not impossible, just not easy.

I didn't think you could get ML stand alone any more. If you can, it means they don't build them that way for cars delivered to your area, so you'd have to special order. PLUS, I don't think Lexus produces any AWDs with the Lux Pkg, without also having the Premium Pkg (which you will WANT in MN for the seat warmers). Looks like you can't get ML at all in your area without a special order.

You can't just go by Edmunds or any of the car buying sites, because they don't take into account that you may not be able to build your car, in your area, EXACTLY how you want it without placing a special order.

This is correct. I just spoke to Jerry Prichman at lexus of Orland yesterday at the IS-F event. We spoke about the option packages and how Lexus has a regional designation for what is offered in particular models 250/350 and where they are shipped. He stated that the reason and rational behind this is the ability to sell cars with certain pricing in certain markets. IE, for some reason, the Northeast US does not obtain the fully loaded cars due to buying demand.
