Hey guys, had a couple questions for you experts

I talked to a lexus guy in a socal dealership and I was quoted 37,750 OTD after orange county tax/registration for:

Black/black is250
-navigation
-xenon

for the one without xenon its around 37,000. Is this a good price, or can I go a lot lower? Supposedly it was under 500, but you know how it is Would you guys recommend the xenon feature as well? This car is for my mom. Thanks in advanced!

I got mine (08 IS250 6MT) for 35K OTD obsidian/black interior w/ premium package w/ Navi....that was 6 months ago, w/ this market I'm sure you can get even lower

Nobody who uses the term fully loaded seems to know what it actually means... people toss it around all the time on cars that are missing like 5-10k worth of possible options.

I think I've seen -one- member on here ever post about their car and it was actually, really, fully loaded.

(for reference sticker fully loaded on a 350 pushes north of 49k, so close to 45k for a 250 RWD... hell, INVOICE on a fully loaded 250RWD is around 40k or close to 44k on a 350... and those numbers are all without tax/title/etc)

And that's assuming you only count factory/port options, not dealer ones like the F-sport stuff

i've even seen base people say fully loaded....ROFLMAO..... anyway... i've really seen a really fully loaded 350... special ordered.. it has X-Pack Nav Lux ML GFX Spoiler... Lexus HKS and... that's all i guess... that's ultimate Fully loaded... oh yeah Ipod integration too!...

i got 36,000 after 1 phone call. is that good?

You can't stack X and Lux... X, Sport, and Lux are mutually exclusive packages... and the described car would still be missing park assist, PCS, headlight washer, etc... PCS in particular is -very- rare.


To the original poster on his 36k price... invoice (assuming this is a RWD auto 250) with just nav and HIDs is $32,901. I don't know your local TTL costs so you'll have to add those yourself, but I sure wouldn't be paying more than that in this economy, preferably a bit less.

(Without HIDs the invoice cost is $32201 BTW)

For 37 you should shoot for the 350. I'm here in socal too and dealer here are money hungry. So go lower if not try again next month.

Yeah 37K I would go get the is350 or even better pay an extra 4-5K and get a used 2008 isF. An is250 loaded in this market should go for under 34K OTD easily. I got mine for 35K OTD in 2007. Aint no one buying cars these days.

Look at it this way, I went to an infinti dealer with my bro couple of weeks ago to see a 2009 g37 with nav (39K MSRP) I asked him whats his best price he says 33K right off the bat, we got it down to 29K and some change and 33K OTD with 0.9 APR for 60 months. Desperate times call for desperate salesman.
