Is there a thread discussing how much folks are paying for their IS500? I'm assuming dealers are marking them up. Did a search but not coming up with anything other than this thread which stalled last September.

^^ If you go in the general IS 500 thread, you will find some information there but it has varied a lot, many dealers are asking market adjustments that vary from 5-10k to some going as high as 20. Many have bought at MSRP though but production is limited so you will need some luck to get one

If there was a $0 option I would have voted.Everywhere is different when it comes to pricing...where I am it's illegal to mark up the vehicle above the advertised price.Let's assume the IS500 comes as one trim level (no option package) and the Lexus advertised price is $65K...that will be the price at every dealer...plus of course Sales Tax, PDS, Licensing, and Admin Fee.If the dealer wants to sell it for less than advertised, they can certainly do that...but they can't just bump the price to $70K plus all the associated fees.An no the Admin Fee isn't a hidden markup, it's just a few hundred bucks usually for all the paperwork processing.

Both dealerships where I’m from (Oklahoma) don’t charge more then msrp. They didn’t even make me pay a deposit to get on the list or hold the car for me.
I didn’t vote because there wasn’t a 0 option. There is a 0% I would have paid any markup because I am stubborn and would have looked for a different car at that point.

I agree - I think there should be a 0$ over MSRP option. I was lucky to get free shipping (for both incoming and outgoing cars) and paid below MSRP and zero penalty to walk away from my 48 month lease 10 months into it. For the record, the shipping is about 450km which would be ~300 miles and they are using an enclosed car carrier for the new one and regular car carrier for the returned one
