I just don't get that. Why not offer a sport-package with a 6 speed manual on the IS350 ? I think they are missing out on many potential buyers. I testdrove the is250 because I want a manual and I thought it was a dog and way too mushy. I do like the looks a lot better than the is300. |
interested in building a truly sporty car. It's a shame-- my IS300
was the only Lexus I'd even think twice about purchasing at any price.
The rest of the line is just a bunch of old men's cars. I thought
they were going in a good direction with the original IS, but i guess
that's not where they want to go.

I really love my Camry, but occasionally I get buyer's remorse and think I shoulda dropped an extra 10k for the intro Lexus IS 250 or ES 330. Would anyone know if these '06 Lexus models were selling at invoice (or perhaps under invoice) like the '06 Camry was last year? I bought the Camry for about $1,200 under invoice. Do you think the same would have been possible for the '06 intro Lexus models? Also, would you happen to know if the size of the interior space is about equal between the '06 Camry and the IS 250? I mean the intro Lexus isn't a small-size sedan like the intro BMW 3 Series model is it? (Looks like the IS 250 is three-quarters of a foot shorter in length than the '06 Camry LE.) |
the fly-by-wire system, it's acceleration lag was as long as 2 seconds(lots
of complaints on nhtsa.gov). I understand the new ES has these issues
resolved.

You're very smart to have bought the Camry instead of the ES. Better transmission at a lower price for an almost identical car. Only thing you might miss is the coffee in the Lexus service center and loaner car (if they have one), but you would pay much more for the Lexus service. I speak as an embarrassed ES owner. |
like.

Thanks for everyone's advice. I feel much better now about buying the '06 Camry rather than splurging on a Lexis ES330. Hmm, maybe I can buy a fake "L" badge at AutoZone and put that on my Camry's front hood... You know like the fake Car Alarm blinking light that you can put on your dash. You used to be able to buy those at AutoZone. Next time, I'll look for the "L." Say doesn't Lincoln's emblem just look like an upside-down "L?" |
upside down
it looks like Freddy Flintstone!

I went to the dealership in Fairfax and was quoted 1500 below the invoice on the ES350, its a nice Ride but I'd rather have the piece of mind buying the Camry. its too bad the Camry has a funny Nose.

or are you talking about a 2006 ES330? Or do you mean $1,500 below
sticker for a 2007 ES350?
That would be a great price for a 2006 ES330.
I can't imagine that the 2007 ES330 is selling for $1,500 below invoice
after being introduced only about a month or 2 ago.

....the Lexus dealers enjoy exclusive markets for the most part. |
there are two independent Lexus dealerships separated by only 7 miles.
I hope Rithkem (AT) AOL (DOT) COM will confirm for us that a Fairfax, Virginia
dealership quoted him a price $1,500 under _invoice_ and not $1,500
under
_MSRP_ or "sticker." Anxiously waiting.

if it's in Fairfax Va., it's Pohanka Lexus in Chantilly Va.
It's where I got my LS430. It's an outstanding dealership IMHO.
