Longo Lexus.

Congrats on your new car!

Longo Lexus can give greater deals because they have a bigger inventory of cars and I think they are leading seller of lexus' in Socal and maybe all of california.

Thanks again you guys. As far as mods go, the usual tint, exhaust, front lip and rear spoiler. I wont post pics just yet, i am sure we all know what a stock IS looks like. Once the mods star coming, I will post some pics. Believe me the Canon 7D cant wait to get out!

I recommend selling the car private or try carmax, then buying the car from the East Coast or South and have them ship it free! That's what I did with Lexus of Easton in Columbus, Ohio. A salesman name Aso Danso got me an ISF for a lot cheaper than the ones on the west coast who were trying to get over KBB or Black Book! Never pay more than Black Book (what dealers use) especially towards the end of 2011!

Also Dealerships make more money off used cars which they buy at Auctions and sell for a profit. Even if it's likely below KBB at a discount, more than likely they are making a profit! I don't mine dealerships making profits because they have to survive and I understand that but you shouldn't be cheated.

Default socal dealer

Im shopping for 2013 rx350 for my wife. Emailed whole bunch of them..

Westminster - not going to mention his name but terribly rude and he says he doesnt want to waste time talking about numbers via email or over the phone and i must come down.

Then he calls me 3 days later and asks me when i am coming down. So i told him that i rather go to a dealer that is straight up with number so i can just pick up the car? He says "you are a business man so you should come down and we will talk about number" ...

Am i wrong how i feel about this?

Tustin ok?
El monte?
Southbay?

anywhere else or name of salesman you recommend? I like to deal with normal human being. I understand everyone is there to make money but geez... who are they hiring these days..

If you can't deal with the dealer, ask for the Sales Manager.

They always say, "Let me check with the Sales Manager about your offer." You might as well go directly to that source.

Dad has bought his last few through AAA pre-negotiated program. He calls AAA, they give him the contact info and he calls the dealer to verify. Does the paper work, cuts them a check and he's happy to not have done the pretense of haggling even if there is a built in percentage.
