Default SF Bay Area Dealers Recommendation

I’m shopping for a 2006 IS250 RWD. Can someone here recommend me an honest dealership around SF?

Thanks in advance.

Henry,

Have you gotten all of your cars in SoCal because of the great relationship you have there or have you had bad experiences here in the Bay Area or both ?

Is your contact Elizabeth ?

yes liz is my contact in LA, and honestly i don't think i need anything else

back when i was shopping for my is300, i asked around (in fact i kinda wanted to get the car in norcal, easier). however, by comparing all the prices and such, liz' price is just a lot cheaper than all the other prices i got. even if you throw in the time and money i need to go down and then drive the car back up it's still worth it. afterall, i don't own a bank, so money talks in this case

now regarding service, i talked to several sales here, they were ok, but still i think liz has better service in terms of having everything ready, be frank with you, patience, follow up, etc... and she actually remembers you even after the first time you see her.

so base on all these experience, i pulled the trigger and got the is300 from her. and next thing you know, one yr later i got my sc430 and i didn't even spend too much time at other places.

she has moved on to another lexus dealership now (thank god she didn't go for another brand!), but seems like the service and prices stay the same

Any good dealerships in SoCal. I'm close to Falk Jim Lexus in Beverly Hills and Santa Monica Lexus, but I think Longo Lexus in Long Beach will give me a better deal.

For me, Lexus of Serramonte gave me the best price when i was shopping for my GS300 back in 2000. They were able to beat all the prices i got from socal including Longo...as a result, i was able to save some $ and a long drive...
