  1. Canadian prices are higher. You should be able to compare by looking at Lexus Canad website. The retail to invoice ratio may be similar though. I thought the CAD was getting closer to the US dollar these days. Maybe you have huge import taxes in Canada or something? Anyway if I was in Canada I'd be shooting for the AWD model. :)
  2. You're welcome. I hope this gives some people a bargaining edge when they hit the dealer for their new IS. :)
  3. I'd say have at it. I've had my IS into the dealer for creaking/rattling: door panels; moonroof; dashboard; seats; The dealer service hasn't been good - in fact the service manager arranged to meet me and discuss the problems then failed to show up. Here's the response I received from Lexus after the last visit: Dear Mr. D[edited for privacy], Thank you for the opportunity to review your concern and with the moonroof on your 2006 IS 250, Vehicle Identification Number JTHCKxxxxxxxxx. N[edited for privacy] Lexus of L[edited for privacy] and I have reviewed your concern and we apologize that the dealer was unable to duplicate the creaking noise in the moonroof. Lexus respectfully declines to provide any further repairs related to this issue, because Lexus was unable to duplicate the issue. We appreciate your understanding in this matter and your concerns have been documented at headquarters. If you require further assistance, please respond to this e-mail, or contact Lexus Customer Satisfaction at 1-800-255-3987, Monday through Friday, 5:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., or Saturday, 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Pacific Standard Time. Sincerely, [edited for privacy] [edited for privacy] Follow Specialist Lexus Customer Satisfaction That's some warranty. Unable to duplicate huh? I'd make one of their techs take a ride with me and show them when and how it creaks. That'll give them the duplication they need to go forward with the repair.
  4. One word: ceramics. Just get some ceramic brake pads if you're sick of the dust. Hawks...well they screech. There are other brands out there (Akebono, TRD, EBC, you name it), you just need to shop around. That or get used to hosing off the front wheels. BTW have you guys seen the 18's they offer as a TRD option for the new Camry? Pretty dope.
  5. Sorry for my long absence, I really need to have this forum email me when I get replies. :whistles: Originally I had planned to just post bits and pieces here but since I'm on vacation and bored, I've decided to type up the entire 4 pages of stuff and put it in an excel document. Figuring that not all of you have Excel I'll just post the whole thing here in a code block. Yes, it will be a big post but a very, very good one that's long overdue. Prepare to pin this one. :) IS 250/350 2007 Suggested Price Guide Code Description Suggest Retail Price Dealer Price 9501 IS 250 Luxury Sport Sedan - 6M/T 30,255.00 25,716.00 9502 IS 250 Luxury Sport Sedan - 6ECTi 31,425.00 26,711.00 9506 IS 250 Luxury Sport Sedan - 6ECTi AWD 34,285 29,141.00 9510 IS 350 Luxury Sport Sedan - 6ECTi 35,705.00 30,349.00 Options FT 18" Alloy Wheels with summer tires 720 576 (RWD Models Only) HL HID Headlamps 875 700 (Requires LL, LT or ST) HW Headlamp Washers 100 80 (Requires HL, LL or LT (9501 & 9502)) (Requires HL or LD (9506)) (Requires HL, LL, LT or ST (9510)) LD Luxury Plus package includes Lexus Memory 2205 1764 System; Bi-Xenon HID + AFS w/Auto Level Headlamps; Outside Auto-Dimming Mirrors; Power Tilt/Telescopic Steering Wheel; Rain-Sensing Wipers and Power Sunshade (IS 250 17" AWD only) LL Luxury Plus package includes Perforated 3495 2796 Leather seats, heated and ventilated front seats with Lexus Memory System; Bi-Xenon HID + AFS w/Auto Level Headlamps; Outside Auto-Dimming Mirrors; Rain-Sensing Wipers; Power Tilt/Telescopic Steering Wheel; Power Sunshade; Bird's Eye Maple Interior Trim (17" RWD Models only) LT Luxury Plus package includes 225/40R18 + 4215 3372 255/40R18 Alloy Wheels with Summer Tires; Perforated Leather seats, heated and ventilated front seats with Lexus Memory System; Bi-Xenon HID + AFS w/Auto Level Headlamps; Outside Auto-Dimming Mirrors; Power Tilt/Telescopic Steering Wheel; Rain-Sensing Wipers; Power Sunshade; Bird's Eye Maple Interior Trim (RWD Models Only) ML Mark Levinson Premium Audio Package w/AM/FM/ 940 752 CD Changer and 14 speakers NV Navigation System w/AM/FM/CD Changer and 13 2550 2168 Speakers includes Voice Activation, Bluetooth, and Backup Monitor PA Intuitive Parking Assist 500 400 PS Lexus Pre-Collision System (PCS) & Dynamic Radar 2850 2280 Cruise Control (6AT models only) PT Premium Plus Package includes Perforated Leather 1290 1032 Seats, Heated and Ventilated Front Seats, and Bird's Eye Maple Interior Trim (RWD Models Only) ST Sport Package includes 225/40R18 + 255/40R18 Alloy 3695 2956 Wheels with Summer Tires, Sport Tuned Suspension, Bi-Xenon HID + AFS w/Auto Level Headlamps; Perforated Leather seats, heated and ventilated front seats with Lexus Memory System, Alloy Brake and Accelerator Pedals; Power Tilt/Telescoping Steering Wheel, Rain-Sensing Wipers (IS350 Only) VN Navigation System/Mark Levinson Premium Audio 3990 3320 Package includes DVD Changer and 14 speakers, Voice Activation, Bluetooth, and Backup Monitor WV Wood Interior Trim (IS250 AWD Only) 450 360 XE X Package with Sunroof (IS250 M/T) 1485 1188 X Package includes 18" Five-Spoke Alloy Wheels with Summer Tires, Front Lip Spoiler, Sport Tuned Suspension, Alloy Brake, Accelerator, and Footrest Pedals (incl.

  6. Hello everyone. My apologies if this has been posted before but I thought someone would find this information useful. You may even want to pin this post for future reference. My brother works for Toyota so I had him send me a price list of what I would pay using his factory discount through Toyota's Vehicle Purchase Program (VPP). All immediate relatives of Toyota employees are eligible. These prices reflect actual MSRP vs. dealer invoice...employees don't get any discount other than just paying invoice plus freight. Without further ado, here is the list complete with factory codes. Lexus IS 250/350 2007 Suggested Price Guide, August 2006 (I doubt it has changed, this is recent as of November 21st). Code Description Suggested Retail Dealer Price 9501 IS250 - 6 M/T 30,255.00 25,716.00 9502 IS250 - 6ECTi 31,425.00 26,711.00 9506 IS250 - 6ECTi AWD 34,285.00 29,141.00 9510 IS350 - 6ECTi 35,705.00 30,349.00 If anyone is interested I'd be willing to post more details, as I have full information on all option packages including MSRP and invoice prices for everything.
