Default 08 is250 F-sport, good deal?

I went to the dealership today to see the 09 is. I saw that they had a 08 is250 fsport model on sale. The car has a $36K sticker (no nav) with $10K in dealer add ons, it is currently onsale for $38.9K. Is this a good deal, if not how much is a fair offer? Let me know what you think.

The pricing for all those F-Sport parts are MSRP or maybe even worse. You can get those parts at much cheaper prices from the vendors here at CL.

The price isn't too bad. Since you are willing to pay so much for a IS250, why not spend another 1-2k for a IS350?

EDIT: I didn't see it is an 08. That isn't a very good deal.

If they had the F sport BBK, maybe.

Right now they have like 2k worth of F sport mods there (excluding wheels which is a personal preference), totally not worth it.

I would take an extra 100hp in the form of 350 over that thing.

Just get a 350 and do the F-Sport mods yourself.

Get an IS350 and forget the F-Sport mods.. you're paying big bucks for a name.. you can get other name brand manufacturer products for half the price

IMHO, it's not a good deal. I paid $7K more and got an F.

That is a good deal, though the prices on that sticker of totally FOS. GO to Javy's sticky on top the forum to see MSRP for F-sport parts. I am assuming they included some labor in there.

That's a straight up sucker price 46k for a friggin 250 is insane. 495 for window tint?!?!?? It doesn't even have to F tail lights or spoiler, and even with a discount it'd still wouldn't be worth it.
