Insane deal. I believe that's below invoice. And you are very fortunate to find an 08 blue.

shoot I was kind of hoping you'd say stuff like "nah wait the market's crashing 08's will depreciate big time 1 month from now and you'll get even better in jan"

looks like I may be forced to pull trigger. fingers crossed.

thnx all

Considering it's an '08 and now that '09s are available AND I paid $54,100 in August..I think you can at least talk them down to $53,000 or $52500.

While it's a fair deal I would still ask for another $1k off if you see more than 5 08 IS-F on the dealer's lot. At the same time, ask them to throw in a 25%-off certificate for future services (part & labor).

there are just 2 on the lot (the other white). been there for awhile. trying to get w wee more off. On the downside they're offering crud on my trade (04 s4 38k mi. offering 15k) so may have to try to sell private.

thnx for good input.

Please do post how your deal works out for the rest of us considering getting an IS-F. I had seen a listing on another forum for one from a dealer for an IS F w/ 4100 miles for $52,873. I know that particular one seemed to have everything though and I'm not sure how that compares to your package. If the packages are comparable, brand new at $53,400 makes me believe that the 4100-miles IS-F I saw has room to go lower in price.

I myself am hoping to see if some lower prices are possible because even at $53k, a new one is still out of my reach. I may have to go w/ a model with mileage, or "settle" for an IS 350.

IMHO you'll be happier with a low-mileage F than a virgin IS350. I was prepared to go that route (used F) until an acceptable deal for a new one popped up. If I were doing it again knowing what I know *right now* I would be looking at lightly used examples exclusively vice new.

Worst case, you'll end up "settling" for an IS350 which is a damn nice car, just oriented differently than the IS-F. Not a bad outcome either way.

You see, you have to get the full picture. You will find many telling you how great their deal was but they don't tell you how badly they got hammered on their tradeins. You might just accept the tradein because you will never sell your car this winter. Be in shoes of that hypotetical S4 buyer and what he can get elsewhere for your asking price...

Good luck anyway and wait for January or February, the bottom has nor been reached yet.
