It's $1,000 below invoice. That's a good deal for ANY car. (excluding cars not worth Invoice price)

Ive only seen one other dealer offer me that price, all others want invoice. I was also offered $2000 below invoice on a 2010 TSX V6 w/ tech package (loaded with every option!) Price came to around $33 and some change. If I was into value, I would have bought the Acura, but in the long run, LOOKS will always trump anything else, so I paid a little bit more to get the Lexus.

lexus retains its value pretty well, too. the new tsx looks very futuristic- probably one of the few good alterations they made over their lineup. the rest look a little out of place, i think. any car under invoice is worth giving strong consideration too. if not under invoice, the next best bet would be to see if they would throw in some amenities (lux pkg, better rims/accessories, etc.). best of luck!

Personally I'd see if they'll sell ya a 350 for 1k under but yeah, 1k under is a good deal on any non-leftover new Lexus.

that's what i thought too, but it's difficult to find the color and option combos you like at the year end.

December to Remember is just a marketing ploy to bring people in. The same unadvertised deals can be had most of the year.

$1000 under invoice is very good. I did $750 under back in 2008.

i will try to talk them into $1k below invoice for an IS350. just priced out an '10 with 18'' wheel, navi but no xenon for 37,xxx invoice, so 1k below that would be 36,xxx.

$1,000 below is excellent. You should move on that for sure -

Are they adding other charges elsewhere? Tell them no dealer prep.

haven't got to that stage yet. still deciding on the deal. it was an '10 IS250 with Navi, HID and 18'' wheels for $34,4xx. meanwhile i can get an '10 Acura TSX I4 with technology package (fully loaded in Acura terms) for 29,000 before TTL.
