yes, no data, just my opinion.
By that logic, an IS250 RWD AT without Nav should be $34-35k OTD right?
Also does anybody know what is the Money Factor for lower credit scores - mid 600s ?
One dealer told me that the IS250 does not come with the ML/Nav system. I would need to look at the IS350 for that. AND, I was told that it also did not come in the Golden ALmond color.
Now, the Lexus website has the ML/Nav system as an independent option. AND it has the Golden Almond color listed. So, why is this dealer telling me this? Do I need to special order?
Has anyone see these colors on lot? I haven't visited any dealers yet...just doing the internet thing so far.
Thanks!

Which leads me to my next question. How "painful" a process is it to special order a Lexus? I also want the ML sound system in my IS250 which they don't seem to include in their option packages. So, maybe it'll be better to order the car I want.
Has anyone special ordered the 07 IS250 AT RWD? Was it easy? Did you pay MSRP for that?
Thanks!
But on Lexus.com, when you input the zip code, it shows Premium with additional options (HID, 18-inch wheels, preferred accessory package).
You can get it with or without Navigation, no other options except probably dealer-installed stuff like rear spoilers.
So the sticker with destination is either $35,222 or $37,772. This is with automatic transmission.
Anyone finding any different configurations in the Bay Area? In particular the memory seats and rear shades would be nice to find.
I tried the IS350 and it has a couple of other options like some Sport package but still no Luxury Plus package.
i finally purchased my 2007 IS 250 this saturday at VISTA LEXUS in
woodland hills, ca.... this site has been pretty helpful with my purchase so i want share my experience..
went to glendale they offered $2700 off sticker
went to keyes van nuys the offered $1200.. plus their selection is not good... they accessorize their cars with spoilers and rims which adds $3-4k on top of the sticker
then i finally went to VISTA... sticker $37772.00 got the car for $34500 (before tax).. got it $3272 off sticker.. happy with my deal coz they even lowered my financing rate... 6.60% apr for 72 months... at first they gave me 6.90% apr but they lowered it so i'm happy.... so total for everything with $7k down plus the extended 5 year warranty -which i might add has a money back guarantee if not exercised - is $550 monthly payment for 72 months...
i'm sure i could've got a better deal at newport but vista was closer to my house and if i have issues it would be alot easier to have the dealer nearby... so i'm happy
the car i got is SILVER with BLACK INTERIOR... i really wanted the SMOKY GRANITE but they only had two IS 250 in stock... but silver is not bad.. its starting to grow on me..
out of the three dealerships i went he was
the nicest one.... the rest were not nice...
hope this helps!
Overall the process was easy, the only downside is that you end up paying a slightly higher price because they are less likely to negotiate since they don't have the car on the lot.
He wouldn't give an out the door price, even though I mentioned that there are all these fees like advertising and others that they tack on.
I said I wanted $34k OTD for the non-Nav or $36,500 OTD for the Nav, based on what deals people were reporting.
He said people make bogus claims online and offered $500 discount from his previous price to "earn my business now."
Hmm, Stevens Creek is much closer but they're not replying to emails.
Oh well, BMW has better lease deals and an ED option. Lexus IS is in a very competitive segment.
07 IS 250 RWD AT with spoiler for $31,900 plus Tax and License.
Contact their Internet Sales Manager to get a quote.
Hmm, actually that's about what Putnam was offering with the $500 discount.
If they only put tax and license on that, it's probably okay.
But I suspect they might pile on some bogus fees like advertising, inflated doc fees, training fees, etc.
Did they give you an out the door price?
spoiler. I have not bought the car yet, but I contact the guy multiple times to confirm the price.
It's $31,900 + Tax and License.
I contacted Magnussen's Lexus of Fremont and was quoted
$32,600 for the same car.
Concord Lexus, the internet sales manager, said he can do better then 34K plus fees.
But these days, when they won't give you the OTD price, you get suspicious.
Thanks.
Was your car 36,300 OTD or is that before tax, title etc? That is the exact car I am looking for.
FYI: Edmunds listed the following for my options...
MSRP = $42,795
Invoice = $37,316
TMV = $41,753
I got quoted at 3 dealers for $42,500, $41,000, and $40,000 at the color I wanted, and obviously went with the lowest.
The car is excellent, the luxury package and Nav system a MUST (in my opinion), and I feel like I got a very fair deal. I bought mid-month in August.
I am in NJ area tho.
Lexus probably was not accepting orders bc their plants are gearing up to make the 2007 models-- so the dealer was likely giving you a fair shake (information).
If you haven't bought yet, investigate the 2007 model year.
Anyone have thoughts about whether this is a good deal or not? Thanks in advance.
Was yours an 07 with Bixenon adaptive headlights? I just got a 37,700 OTD offer and it is going to be on the lot this week. Nav, bixenons,prem pack, spoiler, accesory package. Did you see the invoice on your car? I got a MSRP of 38,120 and 35,000 befor tax title etc.
Mine did not have the Bixenon lights because when I ordered it they were not offering them separately. The invoice on my car was $31,209. This was for Nav, and the PT package(wood trim, & ventilated seats). OTD $36,300. Basically the dealer had a $2,400 mark up on my car over invoice. Hope that helps. What dealership are you buying from anyway?
I just negot. $40.5K OTD, no tax in Oregon. TTL is $200.
07 IS350 Blk/Blk
XE-X Pkg w/ moonroof, illum scuff pl, sport suspension. and 5-spoke X-Pkg wheels.
PT-Premium pkg
NV-Nav
HL-AFS Headlights
Z1-Pref. accessories
LR-Rear spoiler
I hope this was a good deal.
I am in the market for the IS 250. I was intending to get one this past summer, but the dealer in Plano, TX told me that the wait would be over 2 months. Now that the new '07 have arrived, I'm wondering if I should get the new '07 or an '06. If I decide on the '06 what kind of deal can I get on this since back then they wanted to give me $2500 off already? This is my first time buying a new car and would greatly appreciate the input. Thanks!
I have emailed the dealer in Plano and also in Mobile, Al. I can buy the car in either Texas or Florida, with Mobile as an option, but Mobile replied back with the following baloney...
This car's MSRP is $39,794.00. We do not discount this car at this time. With this color choice it would be a special order that would take 90-120
days.
Does anyone know where in FL or TX I should search to get a good deal on a Starfire Pearl '06 or '07 IS250 with Navigation system, black with metal interior?

MY car is MSRP of 39541. It comes with Spoiler , HID, ALL weather mats, NAvi, Wood Trim. I just got a QUote for 36,000. I went to a couple of other dealers and all just laugh when i told them the price i can get it for. So i'm not sure if that helps.
I know the current OTD I can expect now is around 36K in the LA county area.
my question is, can I expect any more discounts in december ?
if yes, by how much ?
