Default Price quote for Lexus IS350 2009.

Hi,

I am looking into 2 options to buy the Lexus IS350 2009.

OPTION 1
---------
This option needs to be special ordered and the car will take 3-4 months to arrive.

So far the best price I've got for the Lexus IS350 2009 is invoice price (includes destination) + $1500, which is:

Invoice $39,777 + $1,500 + fees = $41,277 + fees

MSRP is $44,630.00, so I'm getting $3353 off MSRP.
The options include:
1. Luxury Plus Pkg. with 18 inch alloy wheels.
2. Navigation and Mark Levinson Audio

Color: Obsidian black (or Smoky granite mica) with black interior and dark gray wood trim.



OPTION 2
---------
In this option, the car is available at the dealership lot.

I also got a quote for:
1. Prem. Pkg.
2. Navigation

Invoice is $37,980 (includes destination)
internet price is $38,980 + fees
MSRP is $42,735.00, so I'm getting $42,735 - $38,980 = $3755 off MSRP.

Color: Obsidian black (or Smoky granite mica) with black interior and dark gray wood trim.

Do you guys think that the above are good deals? I am just wondering if the luxury pkg. is worth the extra $2K? Can you guys help me decide! I appreciate it.

You could get a 250 at invoice price, but my '08 350 is packaged the same and that's a better deal than I got so I say good deal

Are you talking about option 1 or option 2? Do you think they'll sell the 2009 at invoice?

The luxury package w/ nav and ML.

If you're considering the lux pac, then I think it is worth it because some of the features included are not something you can add later if you wanted them.

For about the 3rd time, a black / black 350 Lux is not that uncommon. Just get your dealer to do a locate and find out shipping costs. Should take about a week instead of 3-4 months.

Sewell Lexus of Dallas, Texas and Eskridge Lexus in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma both have 2009 Black/Black IS 350 Nav/Lev/Lux cars, $45K MSRP's.

Transport to California should run around $1200 or so.

There you go.

Thanks.. but do you think I can get the price to be close to $41,277? If they charge me $1200 wouldn't that just add to the cost and make it higher?

That's true, that's what I'm checking with my dealer right now! But for some reason, I like the tail lights on the '09 and interior as well!

I'd ask for $42,000 + fees and taxes, with transport included. This way they get a December sale out of it.

I'd rather pay a little more and have it right now than wait, though.

Contact the Internet Sales Manger (Gloria) at South Bay Lexus...!!!

Let her know Joe Z sent you...

There is no point of paying for a car to be shipped when there are tons of dealerships in SoCal (and CA in general)
