It was Ira Lexus of Manchester. Our primary reason for going there (I think I may have previously mentioned) was they had the 01 ES300 there for a very good price and we did a package deal and overall got a better price. We're keeping the 01 ES300 btw as it hasn't had any serious issue's, and those that it has had Ira Manchester has repaired.

G'Man, it doesn't surprise me that other dealerships have tons of RX350's on there lot and we've been waiting all these weeks. No wonder they don't want to do business and trades with this dealership. We're gonna go to Ira in Danvers and see what they have to say, where we would have gone anyway other than that they had the 01 ES300 in Manchester. Danvers run by different people than in Manchester so I'm not worried about that carrying over between the Ira's. We also purchased our other 03 ES300 from Ira in Danvers new and were very happy with their sales and have been happy with their service department. We may check out Herb Chambers as well.

We're actually thinking about getting it in red now (maybe black was bad luck, haha). Before anyone asks, the idea of color change didn't come to us until after we pulled out of the deal and had zero influence on our decision; it was an after thought after this whole headache.

 

Wow, they clearly don't want to earn your business. Take it elsewhere to another Lexus dealer. They are not all the same, I refuse to go to some here in Atlanta.

 

I am not sure if Lexus had some production issues with their Japan plants, but my local Lexus dealer has six unsold 2010 LS460 regular wheelbase models on the lot. Two sport versions one in the showroom and one outside.

I have never seen one LS460 on the lot at this dealer except back in 2007...not they six..Dealer also has two LX570 and a number of IS models. 2010 SC430 is nowhere to be found

 

GoodRevs, I would think if Ira in Dnavers have the RX you want, it would have been sent up to Manchester and sold to you. It is local competitions that wont trade with each other, since both Manchester and Danvers are owned by the same dealership, I dont see that happening.
Are you looking for a special package or just the routine premium package, if so, there are pretty in stock in NE.

 

G Man, I was referring to other dealerships not want to trade, I figured that the Ira's would trabe amongst themselves though.

We're thinking about red now. Like I said, this whole ordeal caused us to reconsider the whole process, so we're gonna go with red which looks very stunning.

Hopefully we'll get down to danvers this weekend, maybe they'll even have one on the lot. It was a pretty basic package btw. Nav with wood trim, whatever that package is called.

 

GoodRevs, thats as basic as it gets. You should be about to find one with no problem. I guess the reason why Manchester Lexus couldnt find one is that they just did not want to do business with you for whatever reason

 

My mother went earlier today to danvers and spoke with the second in command. They found a red rx350 with nav and the wood trims that's due in next week. They also know it's exact whereabouts and where it is coming from, which is more than could be said for manchester. They've got it tagged for us so we should have it by next weekend, when I hope to be able to line up our cars and take some pictures to post up here.

I wasn't actually there today, but my mother told me they were exceptionally helpful and well informed of our situation. We were compensated for the 6 wasted weeks and assured we would experience no further such issue's as we had at manchester.

BTW, she loves the red now. She said it looks fantastic in the sun and only slightly maroon in the dark. Apparently it's also a limited edition, so that should make our rx a bit more exclusive.

 

GoodRevs, congrats. I am glad everything worked out. So how did they compensated you for the 6 wasted weeks if you dont mind me asking.
