Check out the recent article up there. It says that Lexus had a 11.8% decrease in sales versus last March. That, in my eyes, says they will begin to discount these cars if inventory goes up.

I think that this trend will continue, given the current state of the economy headed toward recession. Luxury items are usually the first to feel the effects of a down turn. I think that once the the buzz has played out on the ISF, say about this coming fall / winter I think that you will be able to find an ISF discounted nicely below MSRP. Some other incentives such as financing rates and options on the car might be helpful bargaining chips when it comes to some one looking to purchasing an ISF in this time frame...like my self ![Big Grin](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)

haha, you say "verge of recession" we are in a deep recession on our way to a Depression. The dollar is falling hard becaue the Fed keeps printing phony money, interest rates are dropping. All I can say is buy metals.

Keep the "Depression" talk to those that have nothing better to do then talk about their frustrations instead of working towards resolving them.

Depression... I highly doubt it. One of the main reasons the depression happened was combination of companies making up there books due to no account regulations, to keep stock prices inflated. Once this came to light stocks plunged people made runs to the banks in an attemp to pull there money (again no regulations). This in turn made the crash even worse. This is a quick and dirty explantion but there as alot more to it. Hell I did a 20 page paper on it in college (Economics Major Minor Finance)
.
What was gained from this was circuit breakers in the markets to prevent these kind of melt downs like in 1929. Yes, the markets go in cycles and we are entering a down turn toward ression, but deffinately not a depression.
I agree that Bernake is not helping much by continuing to lower rates. Where is good old Greenspan when you need him most ?

there different kinds of depressions, we are facing an inflationary depression. Go to www.infowars.com and educate yourselves to make valid arguments instead of parroting what the main stream media feeds you.

The reality is that YOU are the one feeding off media hype. How old are you anyways? 18.... maybe 19? Did you professor tell you about that website? Did he also tell you about this "massive depression" were in for while he sits in his ivory tower doing nothing but spilling conjecture into your mind? Go read a history book and tell me about all the depressions this country has seen.
The only thing you are doing is typing drivel that is intended to scare people or create controversy. Go to the local street corner with this garbage and spare this forum from your non-sense.

I could see there being more 'consistent' deals on the is-f next yr. Right now, this is still a highly sought after special enthusiast car and is doing double of it's projected target. I believe they planned to sell only 150-200 per month in the USA.. but looking at last month (March) they sold 323. That's double baby!
I do feel bad for those in Japan that have to wait a year on the list.

I am most likely going to buy an ISF in a few months when they will offer discounts.
No I am 29. I graduated 7 years ago. And I have read the history books and I know history repeats itself. So what are you saying, by saying "go read the history books" you are further backing up my point. END OF DISCUSSION.

IS-F is a low production vehicle....let us remember CAli got MOST of the allocation so far, as other dealers get their cars, sales will rise, as will warmer weather.
I do agree, this economic climate though doesn't favor this ENTIRE market. Everyone is pretty much down in sales.
