Default Why does Lexus want to know if I have bought more cars than anyone else??

My dealership told me the other day that Lexus contacted them and asked how many vehicles I, specifically, have purchased over the years. They later called the dealership back and informed them that I have bought more than anyone in the entire midwest, and after they check with a few more dealerships, more than anyone in the country.

Why would Lexus want to know this? What would they do with this information? I asked my Lexus sales manager and he has no clue. His best guess is offer to sell me LS460 s/n #00001 off the line (but at MSRP... ha!).

Has anybody ever heard anything like this? Any ideas?

The midwest, that includes Kansas and stuff right?

So I guess if you buy two you're the highest?

Kansas is nothing, the major competition was coming from Nebraska

Hmmm I wonder if perhaps they were doing some research on how to 'clone' more of you?

Seriously though, I mean each time you sign up for a brochure on Lexus.com, they ask you about what cars you own.

And btw, you currently have FIVE Lexus vehicles??? How big is your garage? And may I ask what you do for a living?

try to get the first Supra when they come out for $10k or better yet for FREE then sell it to me for $5k. It will be the easiest $5k you will ever make in your life and from the cars you own I bet you make alot of $5k's in a year, LOL

This is my old garage the day we moved out. I don't like posting pictures of my current house on the internet for some reason (a lot of wackos out there, I guess). It is kind of small, but you can see an RX (with the hatch up) and an S2000. I had already moved the other cars to the new house by then.

We have really liked our RX's over the years. I believe they said that we have had more RX's (someting like 14) than anyone else in the Midwest market has had total Lexus cars
