Hey guys, first post here! I'm looking to get a brand new 2012 IS250 with F-Sport+HID+NAV. Pretty standard build and most MSRP is around 41,600. Now I got an offer for the exact car i want for 35,998+tax&license fee. This includes the 1k college graduate rebate i'm qualified for. Being in Norcal this should be around 39,500 OTD. I was given the quote by email and haven't been to the dealer yet. Do you guys think I can go lower? I've seen people getting the same OTD price 6 months ago. Thanks in advance for your feedback!

Sounds like a good deal to me, since it includes the navi, but if u don't really need the navi and can get it lower without it I would do just that.

If your honestly serious about getting one. Call up a few different dealers and save the one that's maybe closer for last and have them compete for your business. Never hurts to try. For a car like that try and save everything you can.

Sounds like a good price with all the extras you listed. But I agree with others, I would call around the local dealerships and ask for quotes. Have them compete for your business. Hopefully, you end up with the 2012 F-Sport in the end. Good luck.

$35-36K sounds about right.

You can always check with TrueCar.com for reference.

ok.. i pulled the trigger! Got the car for 35.5k+tax&license. Could probably went lower but the next closest dealer is 30miles away.

Anyways, it's an IS250 with F-sport + Navi + HID in Ultrasonic Blue. Loving it so far, will post pics when i have time this week! Thank you all for the input!

Great deal!

Just make sure they did not drill the holes for the front plate bracket! ha ha! Well if they did, I guses you could always get bumper plugs!

Thanks! But in california, the front plate is required by law.. so i have to drill it sooner or later =[

Nothing crazy on mine. So far, only roof spoiler and the f sport lowering spring are on my list. But i read many people complaining about noise issue on the springs, so i'm not sure.

Good choice of color! Get ready for a lot of attention :-) I got tired of people looking at me and got tints within a week

Congrats on your purchase

Sounds like a good deal for 35.5K with NAV + HID

What other added options were included or thrown in?

There' s a few ways to attach a front plate without drilling holes... a search ought turn up a few threads on these methods.

Pretty fair price! Got mine for around that in 2011 with a few extras. Looked at trading it in a year later and they are offering 29k - 30k, so I feel bad for anyone that paid around MSRP.
