It appears as if Lexus may have screwed up the second sticker and priced the wrong F-Sport Package onto it.
I don't think soo... Hope you ordered "Blind Spot Monitoring system..

I got 500$ only because I'm a 4th time repeat buyer at same dealer/sales guy and thought that was a good deal. If you now got 1K$ off, pull the trigger right away!

I know the price now with the options. I was referring back to May when little was known.

that's what i was thinking too! I mean i know its hard to negotiate the MSRP price on a new model already, but since i got 1k off the MSRP i couldn't resist and i made my deposit on it this morning!

I agree that it is hard to negotiate, especially when a deal is done without knowing the exact price. My dealer and I came to an agreement that ended up being fair for both of us so the special order could be put through. I think that getting 1k off sticker is pretty good. I have said this before with many posts, there is a premium that is paid to be one of the first. Also, I do not want to sound arrogant, just truthful, but if that premium breaks the bank then the bank was already broken.

Did they give you the breakdown of your prices for the Special Ordered options & Packages ??

I did some research on the price sheet released in April, and I do see some different numbers when comparing them to the these recent Window Stickers..

$1,000 off sticker is a good deal, especailly on a First Delivery & Special Order..

I was shown a breakdown on Tuesday when I went to see a '14 IS 250 up close and personal, and the individual options are actually a little less expensive than what was anticipated. We had

The car as ordered:
$39,465 - Base IS 350 RWD
$3,620 - F-Sport Package
$3,225 - Navigation / Mark Levinson Package
$400 - Variable Gear Ratio Steering
$500 - Dynamic Radar Cruise Control
$210 - Rear Sunshade
$600 - Blind Spot Monitor
$895 - Delivery

$48,915 - Total

When I ordered, we were anticipating just over $50,000 and came to a deal that included accounting for the unknown pricing. Basically, if Lexus pricing changed, so did my pricing. It was nice to see the pricing come in less than anticipated. This very rarely happens. As far as discount, I got what appears to be the standard 1k.

Japanese yen value went down hence reduced price. Simple economic.

So they are working off "paper"...

I hope when the Window Sticker prints for your car, it prints @ $48,410 MSRP

Looking forward to seeing your Special Oorder arrive..

My dealer is now working off the printed prices that they have received. There is no sticker for the vehicle yet. It would be nice to see the price drop for the second time.
I am extremely anxious to see it arrive.

I could only hope that there is a Ride and Drive event near me before my car gets delivered.

Hate to break a consensus, but I hate blind spot monitor on my last car (a Volvo S80) and considered it a gimmick. I'll easily live without on my new IS!
