Hi new here and was looking at getting a new IS 300 AWD F Sport. Buying from MN and dealer quoted me $44k for white/red w/ navi. MSRP, according to their sheet they gave me was a little over $46k. Thanks for your inputs.

I was lucky enough to get a 41k car down to 32K. I was on my way to the dealer expecting to buy a 32K car(White is250 2014 F-Sport w/ Nav) when they gave me a phone call to let me know that someone has already bought the car, so they got me a different car that was 41k(Black is250 2014 F-Sport w/ Nav) and gave it to me for 32K

If you are seeking the best possible discount off MSRP, you'll need to shop anywhere other than MN----BOTH Lexus dealers in MN are owned by the same company---Village Automotive Group.
The highest discounts seem to be located in Southern CA, where dealers are (get this) actually competing for your business....
Good luck.

yeah I called a dealer in Madison, WI and they were able to beat that price at $43,098. I originally offered the dealership at MN $43,000 but they wouldn't do it. I guess I'm going to Madison

I went shopping a few weeks ago for a is350 F Sport. Found a '15 for 20% off with a few hundred miles which the manager offered me; but, I did not counter his offer as I decided on a '16. Did a little more searching and found one with the options I wanted and was able to get 12% off with no fluff.

I got a brand new 2016 Is350 Fsport in January.

OTD 47,500

You just gotta look at more dealers, and make them out price each other lol

From reading this forum, I noted some folks were getting from 10% - 12% discounts. So this became my target price. There are several ways to deal with dealers. In the past, I sent out 12 to 15 emails listing the options I wanted and requested the internet sales person to give me their best price. I have purchased two cars over the internet and had to fly to pick them up.
This time, I checked first about 10 dealers internet inventory for the car I wanted within 250 miles from me and called each dealer who had a car in stock. I talked with the internet sales person. I learned from this, its more likely the bigger dealers would be willing to sell for less than others.
I made a trip to a volume dealer and was able to get the deal. I told the dealer, I was here to buy a car today and asked them for their best price. I never made an offer to them. I kept them on the defense and controlled them from the start. Remember, keep one in the chamber. By the way, I was a negotiator for most of my working life.

This was a walk in deal. I needed to drive the different models available to see which one I liked the best. Also, what options I wanted and what colors of exteriors and interiors I liked best.
