rnguy001 Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 Hi everyone. Close to signing the deal. about 200 over invoice is what they're quoting me on an IS 250 AWD (i need the awd for the weather..) my question - I know the new 2008 models will be arriving soon so I was wondering what impact this might have on the prices of current 2007 models. Do you think it is worth waiting a few months longer? Also, any new changes to the IS 250 model? i know it's relatively new, but has anyone heard anything? is the engine going to be the same 206 hp engine? thanks again in advance richard Also if anyone has had any experience with lexus of silver spring in maryland, I'd be grateful for some advice..

bartkat Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 At that price, go ahead and buy it. They plan pretty well and it's unlikely they'll have much in the way of left over models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrobsea Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 At that price, go ahead and buy it. They plan pretty well and it's unlikely they'll have much in the way of left over models. Just curious. Does the invoice price include an advertising fee? I saw a recent post from someone negotiating based on invoice, and when they did the paperwork, the dealer invoice was a few hundred over the 'invoice' price you can find on cars.com or edmunds.com. The difference was that the dealers include an advertising fee in their invoice price. I had the same experience. If you haven't, I would get clarification of what exactly the invoice price is for that car so you aren't surprised when you go in to buy it. I think you've done pretty well to get them to $200 over invoice - even if you're paying a $500 advertising fee on top of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartkat Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 The invoice price should only be the stated invoice cost plus transportation fee. Anything else the dealer tries to add in is B/S. Adding in stuff like that and document fees, etc. is like trying to add in the dealer's utility bills, trash collection, etc. His operating costs should already be built into his price.

tex2670 Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 I don't think anyone is really sure what is coming in '08. I haven't seen anything that states a significant change. That's a great price in the NE/Mid-Atlantic region. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meesha Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Do they even take orders for 08? The price info isn't even out there, is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manolo1 Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 If you keep cars for 3-4 years buy it now. If less than that u may consider waiting due to resale difference between an 07 vs an 08 2 or 3 years from now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
