Price Paid for an IS250/350?

I totally don't understand this. I went trough the same thing back in 2008. No ML AWD for some reason. 4 week wait for my '14 350 AWD and a custom 4-6 month wait for an ML w AWD. The standard system sounds fine but I would have sprung for the ML but the wait was just way too long

I talked to a dealer yesterday over the phone about a 350 AWD F-sport with navi and ML audio and he said that I would have to special order. He also said it could take 90 days for it. This isn't a big deal for me since I don't plan to purchase until around May anyway, but does anyone know if there is any truth to the 90 days statement? If it is, I need to start moving asap or else it could turn into Sept.

Good luck!
PS - forgot to mention that Ed gave me the option of having a car w/ ML transported from the west coast where those are stock on dealer lots. It would have cost me upwards of $1,500 and a few weeks to have the car brought in from 3,000 miles away. I didn't think it was worth the time or expense. The ML package is already an extra $1,200 + the $1,500 transport. I could get a pretty sick aftermarket stereo if I had an extra $3,000 lying around.

Trying to lease an IS350 F-sport white/red
Hi guys
From this thread, I feel like everyone from CA is getting a really great deal.
I went to Longo (el monte, ca) looking for similar deals because the 350 fsports all have very similar MSRPs (at least the ones I have looked at).
The sales person gave me:
12k miles, 24 mos, $740ish(including tax) with no drive off (MSRP: $48,212).
I knew this was a BS deal given that it was my first time sitting down and also I went on the 1st of March. I said this was very far from what I expected and just left on the dot saying that this is not the dealer for me. I received several calls right after I left and didn't pick up cuz I was driving. Several hours later, they call my house and tell me that they can offer me:
15k miles, 24 mos, $485(including tax) with no drive off
I was going to try to negotiate more off the offer seeing that some people on this thread are getting better deals than that.
I said I couldn't come in until the weekend. I called during the week to see if they have the white/red they said they don't have one coming and confirmed the offer that they have said when they called me before. They said the offer still stands. They said they will call me when they have a better idea of when it actually gets to the lot in couple of days. I actually asked if he can get a dealer trade in and he said no. (I just thought they didn't want to because they didn't want to lose money by doing that)
They did not call after a week so I called them and they said it's coming in 2 weeks. I told them that's fine, but in the meanwhile let me know if anyone before me cancels their deal on the white/red so I can go in and get it. And just to be sure, I asked one more time for the offer and he said he it was for a 250...-_- But he clearly told me the MSRP: $48,212. So I was kind of ticked off because he was trying to play me.
He offered me:
15k miles, 24 mo, $540(including tax) no drive off.
Resid value: 71%
MF: 0.0008ish (didn't make sense to me. I have very very good credit)
He said that's the absolute best deal he can offer me and that the car comes in on this saturday.
Am I getting shafted by this guy because I made him feel like I'm in love with the white/red combo by keep on calling him? DId this happen to anyone? AHH!!! so frustrated!!!
Sorry for the long post.

I'm looking to purchase in S. California and was curious if I'm unrealistic with the following:
2014 IS250 RWD
-FSport Package
-Navi
-BSM
$42,000 OTD (9% sales tax)
I have one dealer, through TrueCar, offer $38,550 before tax. Every time I try to confirm the price with him via e-mail, he would not answer my question. He finally confirmed that I would get $3,850 off MSRP, which is NOT what TrueCar guaranteed. I'm guessing he got his numbers mixed up. I thought Internet Sales guys don't play around? Seems like this guy is playing games with me.
Anyhow, I contacted Cerritos and they quoted me $40,500 before tax and fees. I told them I'm looking to spend at most $42,000 OTD and they haven't returned my e-mail that I left this morning.

The MSRP for the following package appears to be $42,800.
2014 IS250 RWD
-FSport Package
-Navi
-BSM
So going by your suggestion that I should look for 12-15% off MSRP, I should be negotiating for an OTD price between $40,380-$41,800.

Good luck - keep us posted.

When I look at the local stock for my local dealer, I actually see a White/Red 350 F sport with ML Audio and BSM system for 50k. Problem is, I'm not looking to buy for another month or two. Hope that it doesn't get sold, but if it does I'll settle for standard audio. No way I'm waiting 3 months for premium audio.
