Default Trying to fight an ISF into my budget, has anyone seen any isf's close to invoice?

I'm in talks with my local dealership (brookfield Wisconsin) to see if I can get an ISF for just over invoice (about 53k). I just refuse to pay more than $550 a month for a car but I'm trying really hard . I just got my 07 TL-S last feb too...*sigh* I should have waited. Has anyone gotten any dealers to go that low yet?

I was offered about $2500 over invoice but I am still holding out to get a better deal since the dealership has 5 ISF on the lot.

It's still early and dealers will give the "it's a hot car right now" excuse. You might have to wait longer for the best deals.

i agree with the above.

if we all hold out as a group for a few months, there will definitely be some heavy discounting.

Well there is always the option of calling dealerships nationally. Call till you get the deal you want. Downside is you might have to drive / fly to pick up your new wheels. Upside you get to drive it home and break it in

That's true! Sometimes shopping nationally is the best thing to do. A lot of dealer do a pretty big internet business, and they might even trailer it to your door for about $.30 a mile.

here in the seattle area, they scoffed at the idea of discounting an IS-F, even as they have 3 sitting in their garage.

Default Here's the deal I'm sitting at

75month finance - 56833 for a black with alpine interior, the mark lev stereo, headlight washers and park assist. How does that sound for a price? Oh and its actually sitting in my garage right now they let me take it home for the night and I live an hr away! Sick car, though I can't figure out where the built in garage door openner is on the car! I see it in the feature list of the car but I'll be damned if I can find it.

I just did an autotrader search and there are over 122 listings! Here is a tip: Just show the dealer the listings, give them your offer, and then walk if they refuse it. There is WAY too much competition this year and with the economy the way it is, it's a buyers market!

Is $58,500 a good deal? That's before TTL. $59K with the new iPod attachement that gives total control of your iPod through the ML head unit.

Thanks,

Fulmitz
