My contracts (I signed two) say they have 30 days from the estimated delivery date to deliver or else you get a full refund. I would walk into the dealership and play hardball. First tell them you want your money back. Point out that you needed a car by 11/4, that you have been renting this whole time, and that is why you came to them and they have been lieing to you all along, that you have to be the one calling in to check the status, and that you are getting poor attention. They will probably refund your money, but to avoid that, I am sure they will try to bend over backwards. Then maybe knock money off your price if you want to, or take your dough and go to that shady dealer. And mention you appreciate it, but who cares about a first free service, that is not solving the problem.

Yeah, that's what i was thinking re playing hardball. I thought ultimately I'd give them one more shot and commit to a drop dead delivery date (Friday or Sat). If they cannot deliver by then, I want a full refund and I will take my biz elsewhere. If they were to guarantee that then I'd be looking for other incentives to make up for the irritation, i.e. wheel locks, all weather mats, HID security, etc. Not really sure what to look for given that the car is pretty loaded to begin with!
Thanks . . .

yeah, sounds like the car is already loaded, but i guess they can always knock off money or give you X amount of scheduled maintenance or something.
i would act sooner than later tho since they already have been pulling wool over for a week now. i think it will get into the right manager's hands if you voice your displeasure now. no Lexus dealer wants bad impressions, they have a mint there and would not want to upset that.

We got to a "delayed" situation last May when shopping for RX. We decided to buy from other dealership when we found out that the 1st dealer is playing the delaying game. We finally got the fully loaded 4WD $500 less then the invoice as the 1st dealer quote. The car is made by Toyota, so I really don't think there is a need to buy from a certain dealership. We got the refund back from the 1st dealer without any issue. I suspect the reason for the delaying by the 1st dealership is due to the car is being sold as quickly as it arrives, and hence the dealership has no incentive to sell the RX at that price. When I asked for a refund, the dealer did it right away. I can tell that he is quite happy for not having to get my call again. Good luck,

Any suggestions? Thanx in advance.

I think $35,800 is fair. The invoice on this car is $35,477. If you subtract holdback and addback 3% dealer profit, then you get an offer price of $35,800.

Expanding Audience - Lease Questions

Hello Folks,
I am interested in a 2006 premium plus with nav. MSRP 45,708. I am planning a 39 month lease, with 12k miles/yr.
Please give me an opinion of the following parameters:
1) Sale price $41,800
2) Money factor 0.0026
3) Residual = 57%
4) Acquisition Fee = $650
5) Security Deposit = $0 - assumes excellent credit
This gives me a monthly payment of $598.53
Another questions; Maryland has a 5% sales tax. Should I pay this amount $2090(5% of sale price and acq. fee) up front at signing or can I pay this with the monthly payment.
Thanks,
Michael from MD

Thank you. I could not get that price $35.8. I think I will settle for $36,101. It's only $300 more.
Do you believe that 56% residual and money factor of 0.00235 is good? They claim that there is a $600 acquisition fee from LFS. Is that true?
Thanx in advance.
