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

​​​​​​​where do you live. I don't mind paying $1,000 to ship to CA if i can get it for MSRP. California dealers are crazy, they have a $30k mark up on IS500.

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
