I've been searching the forums and have decided on getting an IS with the following options:

• External Color: Graphite Gray
• Leather Package w/ Black leather
• 17" Polished Graphite Wheels
• Moonroof with sunshade

Is LSD worth the extra $400? I live in the SF Bay Area and don't really come accross hills that often. The only thing that bugs me is that I'll have two empty spaces where the buttons for the Heated Seats would have went. Oh well...
What is a good price to pay for the car with the options I chose (not including tax and license)? Judging from old posts, the consensus seems to be that $32k seems to be a fair deal. What do you guys think?

32K is what I'm getting for quotes too. That's loaded as well.

 

[saltedeggman]

32k seems reasonable...
but members are getting lower and lower quotes...

well, although i don't have LSD equipped IS, i'd 400 bucks is well worth it.

32K in Georgia sure...we live in the Bay Area..I'd expect to see it go for $34K.

I paid that back when the market was hitting - you might have some luck but who knows.

I got the LSD and all the goods...it is worth it. I haven't seen the LSD come into play but it is nice knowing its there.

32K is good, but make them include LSD and include locking lug nuts and a trunk mat too.

Thanks for the info, but it would be nice if you guys explained what you mean by loaded. Loaded meaning every single option included or loaded meaning leather and sunroof???

My guess is "loaded" is every option except the lux package with the fake wood. I'd expect that to be mentioned separately. For example, my SBM with black leather interior is "loaded", minus moon roof.

Man 32k - 35k. I was looking at a fully loaded IS300 for 36k here in San Jose, CA. Where can I find a lower quote. www.greenlight.com is where I found it and that is without tax or anything.

I've been quoted 31,789 for the following features...
Leather Package
Graphite Wheels
Moonroof with sunshade

directly from the dealer. Right now is a slow season for them and they are giving pretty good discounts. I'm going to try and get it for 31k.

Softshell,
How much is sales tax where you live? I think I'm going to have to pay a whole lot more for ttl than you did. We have 8% tax here in the SF Bay Area.

Just got my IS300!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Graphite Grey
[LS] - Black Leather Package
[SR] - Moonroof
[AL] - Polished Graphite Wheels

31k before ttl, 34k out the door (damn tax is expensive in CA). Got it from Magnussen Lexus.
