RC-F Track Edition Count Down
So can anyone expound what's the rationale behind this comment from the GM?? I'm trying to understand what this sales tactic is.. Thanks.

If you want to sell the GSF I might know a buyer

It is still great. After 6 years of ownership I still love driving it. Many cars have come and gone but can't bring myself to even thing of getting rid of the LFA.

Stevens Creek had charged my card 5k for 3 weeks and the salesman said the car was mine for msrp plus any port installed options. I spoke every few days with a salesman and one day the GM emailed me back and said my salesman wasn’t there anymore and he was taking the deal over. His first question to me was where I was registering the car and after multiple conversations I was told the same out of state crap as Longo. I knew what was happening but nothing I could do because I didn’t have anything in writing.
They are sister stores and both of them have since added 20k plus to msrp.
Pretty frustrating deal to be honest but my local store is supposed to get 1 allocated so my fingers are crossed.

That really sucks and how the dealerships are taking advantage of the situation. Hopefully, you are able to get one from a sane dealership.
Longo had my card info/not charged but authorized for 5k and had sent me vin, build sheet, total otd and asked who my loan was through..We also got quotes on enclosed transportation. My my salesman was a good guy and easy to deal with during the deal. 2 weeks in the Vp called and said the out of state deal/Lexus frowned on it blah blah and my reply was they are in business to sell cars, if it’s about $$ atleast give me the opportunity to say no which he never admitted to adm.

I had given up until my local dealership who I have purchased from before said he can get one so my fingers are crossed. Longo and Stevens Creek wore me out that’s forsure.
If this deal falls through I’ll move on from trying to buy a TE and keep saving $$$ for something better.

I'll say...that is ridiculous. Best of luck with your local dealer, but if that falls through, keep looking. I'm confident you can find an out-of-state dealer who would have NO issue with selling you the car regardless of where you want to register it.

disappointing that they are making it so difficult for people with money in hand to buy at MSRP just to be greedy and take a real chance that those buyers have moved on once they finally realize they can't move at that price.

I am not sure how it works with Lexus. However, Ferrari works much that way with new cars. Depending on where you live, a dealership may not want to sell you a new car if you live close to another dealership. Preowned doesn’t matter.
