Is 350 Pricing - Is This A Good Deal Or No?

[ckeck]

Hello again, I just posted concerning the IS 350 vs the TL Type-S...I wanted to put this in its own thread to hopefully get some more specific responses...

I got a quote today from my local Lexus dealer for an IS 250/350 and I was rather shocked at the prices...especially for the additional items...can you all tell me if this is about right or am I getting shafted?

IS 350 w/ Premium Package (incl. Nav, Rear Spoiler, preferred accessory package, etc)

MSRP: $42,407

My Price: $41,399 <--- HIGH?? (1k off sticker...not much at all)

Ground Effects Kit/Body Kit

Retail: $2,495

My Price: $1,900 <-- Thought MSRP was $1500 or so?

XM Satellite Radio

Retail: $995

My Price: $895 <-- $485 MSRP??

18" X-Package Alloy Wheels (exchanged)

Retail: $3,600

My Price: $3,499 <-- I fell out of my chair! And this is includes giving up the tires and wheels that come stock...

HKS Exhaust System

Retail: $1,899

My Price: $1,799 <-- Not sure about this one...

Extended Warranties

6 Yr/100K: $1,750

7 Yr/100K: $2,025 <-- These both seem a little high, but would like some input.

IS 250 w/ Premium Package (NAV, rear spoiler, preferred accessory package)

MSRP: $38,127

My Price: $35,487

I would appreciate any feedback or other experiences...if I am to get an IS 350 I need to make sure I get the best deal possible. This is in South Texas (San Antonio).

I love a nice sounding exhaust, but I would rather have an extended warranty for the same price. Even more so compared to the Ground Effects/Body Kit.

[ckeck]

Yeah, the exhaust isn't something I am too concerned about...I just wanted to know a price on it. I won't be touching it for that price...

Any other comments or recent pricing from anyone else?

Looks like those prices are pretty average for Lexus from what i know.

Maybe this is normal for Texas, but you can do much better in Southern California.

Last Thursday (Last day of the month), the lowest quote I got for MSRP $42,052 (NAV, Premium Plus, and Accessories) was for $37,400. This was in Ontario, CA. I didn't take this one.

The lowest quote I got for MSRP $45,732 (Luxury Plus, NAV, Mark Levinson, XM, Spoiler, and Accessories) was for $41,174. This was in Newport Beach, CA. I didn't take this one either.

I used these as leverage and I went with one with the Luxury Plus, NAV, Mark Levinson, Accessories and Dual Exhaust. I didn't want a rear spoiler. MSRP $46,391. I got it for $41,500.

The internet quote system was a great tool.

Hi there, I'm a new member of this forum. I just got my IS a week ago. My deal was IS350 Premium package (NAV, rear spoiler, accessories). I got the deal for $38,500. I think it's depend on location, but I'm pretty happy with the deal.

manchi - What dealer did you use around Atlanta? Any contact names? I am in the Market in the next couple of months, and I live in Birmingham. Atlanta is not far to go for a good deal.

Those are some good prices...I wonder if I can get my dealer down anymore. Compared to the other dealers in the area though this is a pretty good price...here is my final quote:

$40,207

07 Lexus IS 350

Smoky Granite (Exterior)

Black Leather (Interior)

Premium Package:

Auburn Bird's-Eye Maple Interior Trim

Perforated Leather-Trimmed Interior

Heated & Ventilated Front Seats

Lexus DVD/NAV

Bi-Xenon HID Headlights

18" Alloy Wheels

Preferred Accessory Package

Rear Spoiler

XM Satellite Radio

The XM added about $500 or so to the cost so before that I was about $39,700...

I was quoted $500 over invoice by Kearny Mesa Lexus (Penske) in San Diego. It would have worked out to $38500 for the IS350 with Luxury Plus, NAV, XM and parking sensors.

$37400 sounds like a good deal too, if you're not after certain package options, I guess.

Cliffj, the dealer I went to was Hennessy Atlanta. Try talk to Don Bonura (dbonura@lexusatlanta.com) internet sales. He'll match other dealer's price too. Tell him CK send you there.
