Default 2010 IS 350...Good or bad deal?

Hey all,

Just wanted to get your opinions on this:

2010 IS 350
Navigation
Luxury Package
18" Liquid Graphite wheels
Headlamp Washers
Preferred Accessory Package

$42295


As of this moment, I need to dealer to get back to me on whether or not it will have a rear lip spoiler. If so, is this a good deal? Keep in mind, this price has not included tax (8.8%) and title/registration fees.

I've shopped around (internet pricing by emailing dealers) and this is the figure that comes up.

Good Question...

Have them send you a copy of the dealer invoice..

For a 2010 IS350.. right now might be 1-2K below msrp.

That is close to what I paid for my 2010 IS 350. After driving it for a while, I probably would pay more for it.

Thanks for the replies! MSRP is ABOUT 44000. That's just based on me pricing it on Lexus.com

I'm actually not sure how to add the luxury package and the 18" wheels.

When I look on Edmunds, they showed the 18" liquid graphite wheels as a separate add-on. Is the Luxury Plus Package w/ 18" wheels the same wheels?

On the dealer contract/invoice, they put it down as
- Luxury Package
- 18" liquid graphite wheels

Not sure if they are pricing it as a package or separately.

Another dealer is actually giving me a price that's $70 less than the first dealer I went to. Keep in mind, I left a $1000 deposit with the first guy already. But he's telling me that if I can find it for a price that's lower than his, he'll gladly return my deposit and he told me to buy it from the person with the best offer.

Should I haggle some more? $70 is very little, but considering what I went through with this guy... I just might. (Background info- left deposit for 09 IS350. They can't deliver. They jerk me around for a month or so telling me they'd give me my deposit back...over time... they tried to sell me the 2010. Which is where I'm at now.)

Pretty much the dealer want proof that another dealer offer you the lower price...go in with an email print out of the lower quote. Adjust the price in the email before print out. Keep in mind. 42,500 is out the door price in California...for that spec.

I dunno know if your friend double check whether he got the first IS350C in his area...but 58k is a little bit high for common sense.

Regarding options-

Headlamp washers have been an option on every model year, 06-10.

The Lux package is available by itself, or with the 18s (obviously for more $)

Better question is 'what is the INVOICE cost'. That way you can determine how much you are paying over his cost.
