Slightly off topic here.
I'm considering whether to purchase a new 2006 IS250 automatic w/ premium pacakge and 18" wheel for about $2000 off from MSRP - so probably about $34.5k OTD
OR
3 months old (3000 miles) 2006 IS250 automatic w/ 18" wheel for $28k OTD (+tag and title) - private party sale - so no tax in GA. Color that I want too
Just with above info, I would just go w/ the used one BUT
I have a 2000 ZX3 w/ 150k miles and an accident (reported and fixed). So, I am not sure whether considering this factor, along with the different in interest rate between new and used car (about 1.5% in new car favor), I should get a new one or a used one?
So far, no dealer have found the color and the options that I want.
Any thoughts?

I have no idea why you bring up the ZX3.
Aside from a marginally higher monthly payment (do your math and figure out the exact amount; I suspect the used one will still be $5k cheaper at least), the used IS250 is better all around.

I'm currently in the market for a fully loaded IS350. Anyone with a dealer around their area has one in stock or coming?
I'm located in MI but willing to travel far to get the exact car that I want.
Looking for somewhere around 2000 over invoice for an 07. Possible?

Which dealer in Houston? I tried getting them to do something reasonable, but finally had to go to Austin. I got $4400 off MSRP for a Lux/Nav/ML/Spoiler setup. No fees or additional costs save Texas tax, $90 vehicle inventory tax, and $180 tags/license/etc.

I'm also in NJ looking to purchase in the next few weeks. Can you provide info on which dealer gave you -$2500?
I'm going compare internet quotes from dealers as far north as Stamford and down to Philly, but it would be nice to find something local!

Got an '07 Black IS350 w/premium plus (nav & spoiler) last saturday for $42k total. $1500 over invoice and $3500 off MSRP.
No special older or anything, it was just there waiting for me when I got to the dealership.
