I don't think you'll find under MSRP pricing unless you trade in something to get money back. My dealer gave me a little more on my trade in and discounts on everything else I put on the car b/c I was buying at MSRP. Atleast they aren't marking it up any more than MSRP.

Audi R8's by me are going for 50k over sticker price. In case you were wondering that is 190k.

Good Luck with your search.

I have a funny feeling that things will be different in Cali, where there's tons of competition. I've been seeing the same silver (I'm thinking not many people want a silver IS-F) IS-F in the dealer showroom for a while now. I've purchased 2 cars from them... if I made a serious offer under MSRP, I think they would budge

I got mine for right at sticker which was 61k and some change. It would be interesting to see if somebody can get one below sticker since they are only making 5k units for the U.S.

I agree, once the "buzz" has died down, there will be deals available. Also, the competition in this segment is intense with the M3 and C63. Don't think dealers can successfully ask for MSRP/+ MSRP...especially in this economy.

Some of our Southern Ca dealerships IS-F inventory, are begining to increase..

Which means sales are slowing down on these.. I predict by the summer or sooner, they will be giving deals of maybe $1,000 to $2,000 off of MSRP.. to help move these units along..

I agree. They will be sitting before too long. This is a buyers market on these cars.

I didn't get any money off but they took out the processing fee and some other crap and lowered the money factor to .00245 from .00295. At the beginging of the deal we started at $1130 a month and ended up at $999.

I want to get a new car, but I want a little more room than the IS has to offer. So I looked at the GS and I noticed it is a little bigger, but the ISF is so enticing. I have an IS250 now and just reluctant to get another tiny car.

The ES is a good step up without costing too much. I believe it's the model right after the IS. Bigger and more power, coming from an IS250 of course.

Eh, an ES is nothing more than a camry with a wooden steering wheel, they are not impressing at all. I think the IS is a far better car, in my opinion.
It is hard there really isn't anything out there that impresses me that much for under 100K. I really like the ISF, but hate the fact that it feels kinda cramped inside and doesn't have thigh support. What type of "sport sedan" doesn't have thigh support. BMW, Audi, and MB all have better seats. This is very important to me since I do a ton of driving approx. 24,000 miles a year.

I'm up there with you. I measure out very close to 24,000 myself. I like to just get two cars. One for commute, and one for the weekend.

RIght now has got to be a good time to buy an 07 model right? If you want them under MSRP due to the fact that the 08's been out for quite awhile. Dealers hate inventory so they're willing to jack down the price.
