Default Ordering my IS-F

Hey guys so I am finally stepping to the plate and ordering my IS-F.

The funniest thing happen at the dealer. Went to the dealer and asked to see a Starfire Pearl IS-F that they didn't have in stock. The first thing the guy asked me was what kind of car I was driving at the moment ( like if that matters ), anyways after they tell me they don't have one in stock the sales guy tells me that I can order one and it would take 2 weeks. I was like OK so how much is it. The guy tells me 63k starting plus options. At this point I had to ask the guy how many options the car came with... Like if I didn't do my research. He starts with all this stuff and I asked him if he hadn't been on the Lexus web site lately because you can build and price one out and it is 63k loaded. So that kinda pissed him off and he went to see a his manager and came back out telling me I had to put a deposit on the car if I wanted to order it. Then I asked again how much was it. He goes back in the managers office and come back out. Tell me that it takes 2 weeks and I have to put a deposit on it. At this point I am like OK... We got that covered already but what is the price on the car. He tells me it starts at 63k and I told him again.. Dude the site told me 63k LOADED now your telling me 63k Starting why the price difference. He said the site was not accurate and that they start at 63k. As I was walking out I asked for a brochure and the guy asked me for what.... LMAO cause I want and IS-F

Long Story Short does anyone know a good place in FL to purchase an IS-F.... Some place that allow people in Flip Flops to purchase a car. I have seen some used ones but the price difference is not that much so after financing the monthly payment is about the same.

Anything I should keep in mind when ordering my new baby?

Go online and contact all the dealerships in your area. You will get a much better deal working 5-10 dealerships against each other then trying to work something out with one. I contacted dealerships all over the country and got an excellent deal on my car. It takes time, but it removes the hassle part of purchasing a car. You can take your time with zero pressure. When you find your deal like I did you can have the car delivered or go pick it up and have a fun drive home.

Wow, you need to make a complaint straight to his manager.

If you want a good deal on your ISF make sure you get a good deal over the phone with the fleet manager then see him in person, usually you can get better deals with them.

Are you referring to the terra cotta interior that was available on the 2008 IS-F? The idea was a move in the right direction, but the execution looks like a half-assed quilt. Looks terrible in my opinion. Good luck on your purchase!

Yeah, I would do kbb.com or edmunds.com and do a dealer inquiry, punch in all your info and click the few nearest dealers to you and you will see the competition begin. lol
