Default Dealership / Sales Rep Recommendation

Hi guys,

Im in the market to leasing a NX200t and was wondering if anyone had any recommendations to which dealerships or specific sales reps i should contact. I live in the San Jose area and am willing to drive a bit if theres someone who can help w pricing better than the standard deals. If not ill most likely just go to Stevens Creek Lexus.

I bought my new IS at Putnam Lexus this past July. My sales rep is Victor Lu. It's independently and family-owned. To me, this is an advantage over dealing with the corporate dealerships such as Stevens Creek and Serramonte (where I bought my previous IS). I had a better experience going with a non-corporate dealer. Not sure about Magnussen although I refinanced there so the service is good.

CL member, specONE, also got his car at Putnam Lexus. His build is awesome.

Call Ferrante & Son down in San Jose. Ask for John and tell him that Harry referred you. Got my 2015 IS 350 from him for about 1k less than dealers were willing to go back in March. He'll find you the car from any dealer and get it to the Bay for you.

thanks for all the recommendations guys.

Just an FYI for everyone, I contacted basically every dealership the bay area and the ones i spent the most time with are below:

Stevens Creek:
Absolutely horrible experience and they basically told me to just go to truecar to see what vehicles are worth and then shoot them an offer (this is for a new vehicle btw). Would never go back there again.

Magnussen Lexus:
Probably by far the most helpful dealership i've ever been to and also the most knowledgeable about each specific car. Unfortunately they didn't have a specific model we were looking for which was unfortunate. When purchasing another Lexus, i will most definitely be going back to this dealership to see if they can help me first. Very open and transparent with me when we were trying to negotiate and find a vehicle.

Putnam Lexus:
No thrills to the point. I went in there, told them exactly which model i wanted. They had it, i told them what price i wanted to pay, they said ok. I picked the car up a few days later and left. They definitely did their best in trying to help me, but they were not up to par with the service that was offered at Magnussen.
