Smile A Dealer to consider

Good day everyone. I am new here and have been lurking for a long time. I'm the process of buying a new LC500.

As a long time "car guy", have owned about 150 cars over the last 70 years, seldom have I encountered a dealer/sales rep that is noteworthy. In my process the past few months, I have been in contact with most of the larger and a few smaller dealers. I have to give kudos to Chad Peterson from Johnson Lexus of Raleigh. He was extremely helpful and courteous. No pressure and no BS, truly an exceptional dealer rep.. I decided to order through him. He can take your order and ship anywhere. I live in Florida and will likely fly in and drive home when it arrives.

I offer this info to help anyone looking as I have and tired of the run around and BS games dealers play.

I have no affiliation or any other connection other than being a customer with this dealer.

This message is worth what you paid for it Smile

@AncientMariner I absolutely agree with you on Johnson Lexus of Raleigh! Although I haven't worked directly with Chad, Gavin Sherk (sales exec), Justin Hardesty (service) and Mike Dalton (GM) have all been outstanding in the nearly three years I've owned my LC 500! Congrats and good luck on your upcoming purchase.

I have spoken to Chad in the past year when I was looking for a vehicle for my wife when the local wasn’t coming through (although ultimately they did) but he was outstanding and confirmed my build w/original dealer through the Lexus system. He just went the extra step when he didn’t have or need to and was very much appreciated.
