im curious how much you guys put down on a IS350 and what kind of deals did you get.. im looking at a 2011 IS 350 AWD sadan and it runs for about a little bit over 46k. did any of you paid that price or did you get it cheaper?

im hoping i can get it around 43k or less out the door brand new, is that a good offer to deal with the dealership when im ready to purchased..

any insight would be helpful tks

 

Buddy of mine just got a 11 IS350 AWD for about 42k, Almost fully loaded. Navigation and all. No memory seats, tilt steering, and that might be it.

 

42k is not bad at all... im looking fully loaded with everything.. since my wife said this is gonna be the last car im going to buy for the next 8-10 yrs i wanna make it worth it..

 

did his car come with the premium sound system.. i didnt see it as an option

 

Like i said im not for sure on what his option were but im pretty sure it was pretty loaded like mine. maybe no premium sound but you can also do a better upgrade out of lexus. he does not have memory seats or the electronic steering wheel. but yea i thought he got a pretty good deal. i think it ended up being around 46k after tax tags fee and those stuff.

 

deals?... pssh~ here in hawaii we ALL PAY MSRP...

 

42000 OTD. USAA car buying program is the greatest thing ever. No memory seats or the premium sound system.

 

If it doesn't have memory seats it's pretty far from "fully loaded"

For pre-11 models anyway that'd be pretty much a base car with maybe premium, nav, and 18s

2011 is a bit of a weird bird though because the Sport package dropped memory seats (and half the other options it used to include)... plus PCS is gone entirely as an option so that's another 2500-3000 thousand in optioning no longer possible compared to previous years.

A lot of folks seem to think if it has nav that's "fully loaded" though despite there having been like $10,000 in other available options without even counting F-sport stuff.

But anyway, to the OP, for a RWD model I'd expect to pay awfully close to invoice (check edmunds.com for that) since it's essentially in its 6th model year at this point

For an AWD 350, since it's the first year on those, I'd expect to have a bit of a tougher time getting that sort of pricing. (plus only 20% of 2ISes are 350s at all, so the # of AWD ones is even smaller)

 

50k otd cash ... Got a ton of xtras

 

OTD is a fairly useless measure FWIW...

sales tax alone varies greatly between states (and sometimes within states) not to mention all the other fees that go with buying a car from a dealer.

Someone in CA for example would've paid over $2000 more in such fees alone than I did for my IS350.

The actual price of the car is a lot more useful figure to compare between folks located in different places... ideally the exact amount with all options listed... failing that price-in-relation-to-invoice will be a lot more useful than price-in-relation to MSRP.... and all of the above more useful than OTD unless the other person is buying an identical car in an identical state/county/etc

 

Wasn't there a big thread about this, can't seem to find it.

 

this one?

Ha, that's a first.

 

I live in michgan so tax is only 6% which is alot less then other states.. I'm gonna try to go through the costco program, since I have a membership their.. Hopefully I can get a better deal

 

Yup, this one thanks.

HAHA not true.
