I just got a pre-owned 09 with 6K miles from my local dealership...Lexus of Albuquerque. It stickered at $61.7K new and I got it for $47.2K. It was a little more than what I wanted to spend but they gave me $10K for my 03 IS300 which put it in range. I know that they still have a couple 09's that they siad they could sell "at around" invoice which I think is around $54K. A 5K incentive would put you right there at 49K. Good luck!
My car was purchased new in July of 09 for Lexus of Albuquerque...the owner traded it in for a lower payment in January. I got it last weekend. They had it right around a month and I have been working on the price that whole time.
It seems that the pre-owned examples you are looking at must be 08's. I have made offers on several in the past two weeks. I offered $43 on an 08 with 11K miles...they refused it. I offered $42 on an 08 with 15K miles...they said $43.6. I was working on an 09 with 3K miles and we got it down to $47K but they didn't want my car so that was the deal breaker. There is another 09 that was at $46.9 but that was not good enough to make my fly out to look at it. There are a lot of cars out there but it seems that most are pretty firm in price.
