There is a promotion going on rite now in Great Toronto area!! it's almost $2300 off the MSRP
However, the promotion expires in the end of April, and they said they donno if they will extend the promotion
Any expert from this board can tell if they most likely will extend the promotion to May?? cos me gonna buy a DPW in May

since they may want u to buy the car ASAP, so they would tell u no further promotion will be offered, is it true?????

thx for you guys' help!!!

Anyone know if this applys to Connecticut by any chance???

No, but I am sure you can get one for $2300 or more off MSRP in CT. My bet, 1K over invoice. You can get invoice off of kbb.com
Good luck

[IS-300]

They had this going on during March and they extended it to April... I got it off when I bought my IS300. By the way, it's only $1750 because there is a $500 charge that the dealership pays for some reason (I forget what it is but it was valid). Another thing, I believe this rebate is only valid in Canada. The US and Canada rebates are separate entities.

Don't know if they will extend it once more. From what I see, they don't have to.

PS. I got the DPW IS300 recently. Actually I got the "Display" not demo IS300 so I had a few nice extra goodies on mine as well...

Judging from the ads, the $2300 off is only for the base model. So for models with optional packages, the MSRP stays the same. That's my interpretation of it anyway. But I guess you can deal for a similar rebate for models with packages. And in Montreal, you get VIP passes for the Formula 1 Grand Prix!

By the way, can somebody tell me what's the invoice price of the car in Canada? Or where I can find this info? My estimates would be 40K CAN$ for a fully loaded.

No!
I spoke to 4 different dealers on the phone
It is almost $2300 off the MSRP for Package C
which includes leather, sunroof, ect.....
just wondering if I can get this sweet deal in May!!!!
o, free spoiler and stuff too!!

i got my c package is300 in march for $3700 off MSRP at lexus of london...at that time there was no promotion

so it is possible to get more than the advertised $2300

 

[dysonl]

I'm glad my interpretation is wrong then! So theoretically, we can expect to pay as low as 40K for package C -- that's very good!

I also wish the promotion would extend through May...

what's the difference between invoice price and retail price?
is it possible for us to get the invoice price, which is much lower...?

 

[duffy]

Retail = Sticker price

Invoice = Dealer cost (or close to it..does not include any special incentives that the manufacturer is giving dealers)

Currently, edmund's TMV for the IS300 is around $250 below invoice price.

[yangyang11]

so r we able to get the invoice price for an fully loaded IS300 then?

 

[louiee_g]

Wow

i just checked the tmv on the 17th of this month and the tmv was $1188 OVER invoice, specifically $28,296 before destination charge. that's a drop of about $1500 from today's tmv.

I believe the tmv is pretty accurate. i went to the dealer yesterday and they offered me a fully loades IS for 31000...without any haggling at all, that was there first offer. i was surprised. I didn't take it because i was not impressed with the "luxury" feel of the interior. that's just my opinion. I will still end up getting the IS if the price is right.

 

[yangyang11]

Does anyone know the " Invoice Price" in Canada for the IS300, fully loaded?
want them so bad!!: )
thx!!

Unfortunately, Canadian invoice prices are not very readily available like in the US. However, you can still find Canadian invoice prices....but it will cost you: at CarCostCanada they charge something like $20CAD/car invoice price. It's pretty expensive if you ask me. Welcome to Canada.

 

[yangyang11]

how much above Invoice price would be resonable for the dealer?
is it better to bring in the Invoice price to show the dealer to talk to price down?
: )
