Default MSRP Question before purchasing

Hey guys,

I'm about to pull the trigger on a 2014 350 IS ultra white with rioja red interior W/ f-sport and NAVI with MK for $51,500 out the door. Dealer wanted $52,000 at, but i've got them to knock down a couple of dollars. My goal is to get them to sell it to my for 51,000 out the door. my tax rate here in San Diego, CA is 8% which equals to around $3,822. I'm located in San Diego,CA. What do you guys think of my deal?

-another question i have is why do you thing this specific dealership is charging $48,205 for the MSRP while others are charging $47,700 for the MSRP?

The difference in sticker is probably because you are looking at an AWD version versus a RWD version. The F-Sport package is about $500 less on the AWD.
Also, you and your dealer are $500 apart from a deal. I feel that this small amount is not a deal breaker and is worth the price to be the first one with one out the door.
I am jealous as my 350 RWD F-Sport is not due in until late July.

yeah, thats true about the $500 is a small amount to pay to be one of the first to own. i just called and they said they'll take my offer at 51k and they also told me that its a RWD.

As I stated previously in this thread, There is a difference in the pricing of the F-Sport package for AWD and RWD. The sticker you are presenting is for an AWD and the other was for a RWD.

The AWD cars are listed as IS 350 AWD (or IS 250 AWD) at the top of the window sticker. If it just says IS 350 (or IS 250), you are talking about a RWD car. You can also tell by looking at the transmission listing. If an 8 speed transmission is listed it is a RWD car because none of the AWD models have the 8 speed transmission.

Yeah, but that sticker shows $39,465 base, which is the price for the RWD. Then the F sport option is shown as the $3,115, which is the price on the AWD version. Something is out of whack.

Guys.. Both of these stickers show to be RWD.... (AWD is not in play here)

The only thing I can think of is that w/ the Blind Spot monitor system.. you catch a break on the F-Sport Package pricing..

The price difference on the two cars is only $505 when you compare the MSRP #'s...

So Blind Spot is $600 . when paired with F-Sport its $3,115 for F-Sport.. RWD

F-Sport is $3,620 - when Blind spot system is not present... RWD (You're paying more for less)

Again just a guess

Also, looks like we are comparing a computer image verses an acutal printed Window Sticker.. (just in case)

I think joe z is right I'm going to see if I can get a picture of the actual window sticker price.

I do agree that the stickers are both RWD models due to the 8 speed. However, when I ordered mine in May, the two F-Sport package prices were $3,115.00 (AWD) and $3,620.00 (RWD). Blind Spot Monitor is a stand alone option for either that had no pricing at the time.
It appears as if Lexus may have screwed up the second sticker and priced the wrong F-Sport Package onto it.
