GFC350

Ok, i just gotta ask one question.... How is everyone here getting their IS250 and 350's at or near invoice? Me and my girl have been calling around in the Central Florida area (Orlando, Tampa, Clearwater, Sarasota) with no luck with any pricing that I would jump out and buy. I didnt even get much luck in Tampa from the dealer that I had purchased my 06 GS300! I can see that the California market appears to be discounting their cars tremendiously.

the only thing they are discounting here are IS250's. 350's how can they discount something they dont have?

Part of the reason is that the dealer is more inclined to give better deals at the end of the month, or better yet, end of the year.

I would contact JM LExus over in Ft. Lauderdale. Not too far from Central FL for a deal.

Their "deals" are not nearly as good as some we hear about, and trying to get a reasonable special (custom) order has proven beyond my skills. South Florida dealers are tough.

Maybe Shannon can give us a better idea about JM "deals".

Hey All-

Been Lurking around this Great Forum for a bit now. The Information coming through here is Great!!!

I custom ordered my IS350 Obsidian/Blk Int with ML/NAV/Lux Package/ Spoiler/HID/Headlight Washers/Parking Assist and Acc Package Z-1 back in October and it is due to come in anyday now.

I live in NY and checked out several dealerships. Had to order it custom because the Mark Levinson is not available in the Tristate area(NY, NJ & CT) here. I was amazed at how many uninformed salespeople there were on this model and more amazed at how many dealers wanted to charge me more than MSRP just to get the Mark Levinson option. Especially Lexus of Manhattan! Been there twice with two different salespeople and both were clueless about the car and pricing.

Anyway, I finally ended up walking into a Long Island dealer and they gave me $2022 of MSRP. $44922 Down to $42900.

The anticipation is killing me. The dealer said that it takes 8-10 days for the car to make it from the port in Newark to their dealership which is only 1.5 hours away. Anyway thats life!

Thanks for all the great info here!

ive been looking at the threads for a while..and i havent seen anything about the midwest. I live in Kansas City. Ive search all over kansas, missouri, colorado, oklahoma, and texas. No good deals..maybe im not good with dealers....

I want the is250 AWD nav and luxary package. How much should i ask for? cause the best offer i got was $38,800. not including fees and taxes..msrp is $40,500

p.s. im really jealous of the people who are getting the is250 for like 33-35.

I just bought my IS250 from Sewell Lexus in Dallas for $34,750 out the door.

Smoky Granite/Black, HID, X-Package, Premium Package, Tint

Sticker on the car was $36,000 and I got it down to $32,500.

FYI, Sewell Lexus experience was incredible. I would pay more just to buy from that dealership. Chris Chick set me up with a great deal.

without nav?

SpookJr

2007 Starfire Pearl with Premium Package, NAV, HID etc 32,200.

i just cant seem to convice a dealer to drop 40,000 to 33-35,000.

i know about the msrp...but invoice? whats that?
