Is this the same salesperson you wrote about in your other IS250 w/ nav thread yesterday? Theone who wouldn't budge from MSRP and told you to wait a month and a half? Now they have a car? I would call around for sure.
Good luck.

I've had nothing but great experiences with Longo. When I was shopping for my GS430, they beat four other dealerships prices (Kearny Mesa, Santa Monica, Glendale, and Cerritos). Good perks buying from Longo also, like the flatbed pickup of your car for servicing.

I am pretty far away from Longo, so doubt I'd be using them for service..........I wish Carlsbad or Riverside could get what I need.........Guess they don't have the clout to Git er' done.....

Glendale offers flatbed service too and that's the whole point of using flatbed pickup so you don't have to drive far for service. They come to you and your car's not driven. And it's free! No extra charge. Also, appointment wait time is short, anout a few days advance notice. Longo's wait time is about a month. I don't know about you, but I can't plan that far in advance for anything. I have a hard time planning a dentist appointment a month in advance, much less a service for my car. lol

Just found a car at Glendale, but it's not the black interior like we wanted..........I have mixed emotions about the silver interior........The black seems to just set off the red paint.....anybody agree or disagree?

Yeah, I agree...a red exterior w/ black interior looks great

Try to be patient and get the exact car you want...may seem hard now, but don't settle for a color combo that's your second choice.

That's what I am thinking.........we are going to buy this time instead of leasing, as milage is a big concern now. I want to get just what I want this time..........Originally, we went in to get a fully loaded 325i, but left with a 330i with no Nav......I always regretted not getting it, but the 330 deal was too sweet.....oh well...


I think I'll hold out for "The One"

I bought my 99' RX from Longo Lexus back to 1999. I was very happy with the purchase. I brought my RX in for the 30k, 60k and 90k miles service and also very happy with it. Good luck.

Same here. I never even met him nor did I step foot in the dealership. Got the best price and they delivered the car for free. Negotiation was completely online via email. My experience with Jim was

Glendale Lexus just quoted us a money factor of 0.00410 on a 36/15K about 15 minutes ago when I've seen the same LFS/TMC credit check two weeks ago at a local dealership of an Experian BEACON 5.0 score of 817 that put us in the top-tier plus in the Seattle market with LFS/TMC.

Shady. Very shady.

EDIT: Now they're saying they messed up and it's actually 0.00255. ... Mmmmm. Shady... And that the IS lease deal ended yesterday. Mmmmm.

Cheers,
Kermee
