I sent for a quote at the same dealership and they came back with this INITIAL offer

premium plus package, 18'' wheel, HID headlights $30,487

with nav $32,687

That looks about $150 below invoice. If this is their initial offer, how much lower can I negotiate for it?

Hello All,

I will be honest about this and please don't be *BLEEP*ed but I paid a lot less for my car. I live in Santa Monica CA and I contacted 6 dealers and looked for 6 weeks before I made my purchase. Use the internet to your benefit. Have someone email you a price and then use that at other dealers to get them to beat it.

1. 2007

2. IS 250 with Nav, 18" wheels, XM Installed

2. $37,500 MSRP

3. 33,500 Invoice

4. $33,000 including XM ($700 value)

5. 10/27/06

6. Westminster Lexus

7. Internet

8. The only bad experience I had was the dealers that did not know anything about the car. I had an offer from one lexus dealership that a few others said they would match or beat and then realized how good of an offer it was and refused. Don't rush and don't pay over invoice. I started at $1000 over and after 5 weeks I had them to $200 over and then I got lucky on the web with a dealer an hour away who wanted me to buy from him. I took his email to 3 other dealers and they said they would beat it by $100 bucks but they did not have the car instock. Be ready to walk away, they need your business you don't need their car.

Good Luck
