What Should I Do?

Hello, everyone, I am new to the forum, but I was thinking about getting an IS 250 or an IS 350. I really wanted the 350, but I would have to pay a few thousands more for it, so an IS 250 is fine. I sent emails to some of the Lexus's dealer, but they said it cost me at an MSRP of $36,504 for an automatic with a Premium option package and the Navigation system. This is what Oakland of Lexus said to me :

"Should you reconsider the IS 250 with automatic transmission, we are expecting 2 IS 250 Sport sedans, both equipped with the Premium option package and the Navigation system, to arrive sometime between June 7 -16. MSRP: $36,504. Your Internet Price: $35,504 plus tax/license." To reserve either of these vehicles in your name will require a refundable $1,000 deposit.

They told me there was only 6 manual transmission being distributed in the 13 western states to be divided by 56 Lexus's dealer in the month of May-June.

I was wondering where Flipsonic got his deal from, I would like to know since he's from the bay area. I was also wondering, should I wait til the '07 comes out and get the IS 350, the dealer told me that Lexus is going to cut down in the 250 production and increases its 350 production. What do you guys think?

You can look around out of your area and possibly find what you want. Once you make a decision on the car, hold out for what you want, especially if it's manual trans that is your main point. Lots of people have bought from ouside their area since allocations and options have been sort of strangely distributed.

If you get on Autotrader and search new IS250's you might find it.

OK, I will look for it on autotrader, but usually the prices for those are up there. Thanks
