Vegas, What kind of deal were you finally able to work out in relation to invoice?
Tex, did you purchase a 250 or 350 for 700 over invoice?
Hi Janizary,
When I first started, I wanted the Sport Package. I checked (on-line) Utah, Arizona and California, and no Dealer could deliver unless I placed a true special order. This would require 3-4 months of waiting.
I didn't want to wait that long, nor did I want to buy out of state like a friend of mine did. There was no real price advantage.
I then checked the various available packages and found that if I ordered the XE package with the Moonroof, and several other packages such as HL, NV, and PT, I would basically have the Sport Package. The only things missing were front Seat memory, Exterior mirror with memory, Power tilt & telescopic with memory, and Rain sensing wipers.
I could do all of those functions, but manually, not by memory.
I was willing to give up those Memory features in order get a shorter delivery date. In my case, rather than a true Special factory order, it became a Preferred order which means already built, just search for it.
In short, I had my 2008 IS 350 with the equipment I wanted in three weeks. In addition, the car arrived with the Rear Lip Spoiler and Trunk Mat in place. It seems that those two items are almost automaticlly installed at the Port, and I was not required to pay for them.
As far as the Agency, they treated me as if I had just purchased their top of the line special Hybrid Sedan. My Salesman has already given me two hands-on training sessions on the Nav. system and in making Bluetooth phone calls.
All in all, I am totally impressed with Lexus of Las Vegas and with the deal they gave me.
If you need more info, give a holler.
