Most automotive websites have an option to "Locate your vehicle" and view the dealer inventories within a zip code or city. The Lexus websites allow me to search the used car inventory, but are there Lexus dealers who have their new car inventory online?

It still varies dealer to dealer and I think a lot of them are still missing the boat on internet sales here. Some will show everything including the window sticker and others just show a generic picture and a msrp price to others who have nothing.

 

yeah, this has always irked me about lexus dealers and the purchasing process you need to stop by on sundays or call someone (which always turns out to be a long phone call) for someone to tell you what they have in stock only to be told that they have nothing that interests you. then when something comes in that you might buy, u didnt call or stop by that day and its already sold.
lexus needs to get on the ball and have these dealers list their inventory online

 

Interesting note about the Bobby Rahall dealership link provided above (thanks!)...when you link this dealership throught www.lexus.com you get the generic Lexus webiste that does NOT list new inventory. The link above is for another website (seperate from the official Lexus version) for this dealership that does list everything available online. I am looking to purchase a GS this summer/fall but the local dealership (West Michigan) is the only game on this side of the state and does not deal. I am willing to travel if the car I want is in stock and I can get a decent price on it.

If you have links on any other delerships that list NEW inventory online please post it! Thanks in advance.

 

You are correct about generic site through lexus.com. In case of Bobby Rahal, if you go to www.bobbyrahal.com, and select Lexus, it brings you to their private site. It even gives you vin # on their inventory.

 

Most Lexus dealers want you to contact them for current inventory. Typical sales stunt.
