Stering Williams at Cerritos getting me a killer deal on ls460 right now. I just have to wait for the car to come in.
Also if you are a Costco member, Westminster will get you a good deal also.

Personally I had some bad experiences with our dealers but I had the best experience at Longo Lexus. They worked to find a car on my budget. I would start there.

Default Recommend me a dealer in SoCal Please

Hi guys, my 2011 IS lease is almost over and need a new ride.

Can you guys recommend me and give me a name of a no-nonsense Client Adviser/ Sales Rep who I can deal with invoice + pricing ?

I dealt with a guy with Longo Lexus, but he quit few years ago.

thanks in advance

Chris Clark at Newport Lexus. Keeps a great line of communication and gives it to you straight. He helped me with my 2012 IS, sold my parents a CT and I just traded my IS for the 2014 IS350 F-Sport. And through his staff, Bill (the GM) is running a great dealership.

He is also helping my co worker and my boss and both of them are raving about him.

chrisclark@newportlexus.com

Just mention Richard Oshiro =)

Good luck!

Find someone else at Longo Lexus. I personally haven't bought a car for them. I used their service department a lot, but I have seen a lot of people get great deals from Longo after shopping around SoCal.

I had a terrible experience with Chris at Newport Lexus. We ended up going to South County Lexus in Mission Viejo.

Much more professional and better pricing. Hit up Greg or Patrick. It's best to know what you want to pay before to show up.

I'm sorry to hear that. He was/is great with both my vehicles. I'll probably be getting my third one from him. I hope the rumors about the SC are true!

Glad you had a good experience. Without getting into too much detail and turning this into a bashing session, he told me to come down and make a deal on a car immediately if I wanted to finalize a deal. When I got down there ready to buy the car, he didn't have it on the lot and tried to sell me something else. Felt like a classic case of bait and switch which I did not appreciate. Chris told me something to the effect, "If you come back tomorrow, I can't give you the car at this price." B.S.

I personally found the sales staff at South County much more professional, courteous, and were offering better pricing.
