Default New here, just saying hi

so... here it goes. Ive admired Lexus foe a while now, paid off some debt and saved a little money and finally got my first one. 2012 is250 Fsport. well the day i got it, the weather was nasty out, so the dealership came back a few days later to get it and detail it for me.......andddd they backed it into a pole So now I've owned my Lexus for 2 weeks, but only had it in my possession for about 7 days lol. Just waiting on it to get back from them fixing it.

Congratulations and welcome aboard. Sad to hear the dealership backed it into a pole. If you can post pics, that would be awesome.

Welcome neighbor to the north! Sucks about the bumper, but the good part is it is only a plastic bumper and easy to replace/fix. Milk some additional goodies out of the dealership for the hassle they put you through!

well i got screwed, they replaced it with a crappy knock off, it looks horrible. The lines are cut so bad and they did a bad job. You can tell where the body shop was struggling with getting the bumper in the clips, and put a flat head screw driver in the crease and warped it up. I demanded them replace it with an OEM bumper like the agreed and now were in a fight

Why did the lexus dealership replace the rear bumper with a non-OEM part? Any pictures of the repair and non OEM part?

I would demand nothing but lexus OEM parts as a replacement.

Good luck.
