The info on this page should really help you out. They have great deal to drop price between 3800-5000 off stickers and 698 is not tier 1 plus but they can still get u a tier 1 deal especially if there's no repo or charge off on their. Good luck and hope to see you in 1 this weekend

250 over invoice fully loaded AWD 350 IS, it took some haggling but that is what I like about the purchase of a car..plus they threw in all weather matts.
I traded in a car and financed the rest.

Ultra white Rioja

Sounds like people are getting under invoice by a few thousand?

Hi. SoCal here... just bought (financed) a 2014 Lexus IS350 F-Sport ultra white with rioja red interior... w/ mark levinson audio... MSRP 48.3k... got them to agree to 43.7k

I also received an email for 1k off so total was 42.7k. Got them to throw in and extra set of all-weather mats and the memorial sale had 25k miles free maintenance...

I ended up getting the eckbond coating & warranty for $849 (I had to think for awhile on that, but it seemed like good insurance in case a grocery cart or something dents my car or if a bird poops on it). I didn't find any reviews on if eckbond was worth it so I don't know... Anybody have experience with eckbond?

Stock on my particular car was pretty rare at the time. Is this a good deal?

One week ago, from Serramonte / Daly City I leased my MSRP $48,212 (350 F RWD ultra white/roja red with Navigation, Mark Levinson, Blind Spot Monitoring, and trunk mat/cargo net/wheel locks). Our agreed upon price was $42,816 with 5,000 and 10,000 service. Your service deal sounds pretty good, as well as the all-weather mats. I opted for the (lease) excess wear and tear for $875. I hope your financing worked out. What was your rate, and how much did you put down? Sounds like a pretty good agreed upon price. I haven't seen anyone else beat us dramatically (unless they didn't have Mark Levinson).

What was this $1K off email you had received? Was it from that particular dealer or from Lexus? Would you mind sharing which dealership you got yours from? If not then you can PM.

A few days ago I received an email from Lexus for 1K off on an IS, valid at "participating dealers." It was actually in my junkbox but luckily I caught it! (email title was something like limited time offer on an IS). I got the car in Riverside, this particular dealership had a 25th anniversary sale and that sale included the 25k miles of maintenance.

I bought a 3IS Ultra White and black interior. The MSRP on the car was $45,147. I got the car OTD for $45,600. I'm financing at 3.1%. I made a mistake by telling the dealer what my bank was offering 3.6% for my interest rate, so they tried matching the rate. I told them that there would be no point in financing with Lexus if they offering the same rate; after a couple of minutes of negotiation they brought the interest rate down to 3.1%. The financial personnel also originally charged me an extra $1100 to the bill of sale and he said that was local tax. Since I'm still new to the car buying I didn't notice that he increase the car price to achieve the extra $1100. The financial personnel took advantage of my car buying experience. But since I refused to take the car off the lot on Saturday I went back on Monday and had them fix the bill of sale and took it home. They didn't argue with me about the extra $1100; they just said it was mistake made by the financier.
The car was bought at Woodfield Lexus in Schaumburg, IL.

A dealer 10 miles away was trying to sell me the same car for $45,000 OTD, but it was a demo with 6,000 miles on it.

Another example of dealer employees just plain lying to a customer - "a mistake" Sure

Sooo sooo shady !!! " Mistakes " do happen since we're all far from perfect but funny how it's never a mistake to the consumer's advantage ??
