#78 of 536 Purchashing a Lexus by patrick2 Apr 24, 2004 (10:28 pm)
I had a great experience with Countywide Lexus in Hollywood Florida. The salesmen was Wayne Summer. I met over the internet with their great price and then I became a repeat customer because of good service and price. I priced all over. They were by far the cheapest.

Thanks guys, went and looked it over yesterday in heavy downpour. Not exactly what I was thinking of in ride quality, fairly rough. Not sure it was tires, suspension, or normal ride as I didn't take time to check tire pressures in the rain. Think I am going to hold for now as he will have another one coming in with about the same miles without Sport soon that is Blk/Blk. That Ivory interior is not the best looking for me.

I bought custom lux but was hunting for the sport. it's not easy to find. A friend has the 2004 sport and it rides very quiet and smooth and nearly as good as the base suspension. I'd be surprised if you find otherwise on that next one they are getting in.

Made the decision on the LS - Custom Lux, SmartAccess in Moonlight Pearl and Ecru interior. Great opportunity at Lujack Lexus using the Internet Contact person in Davenport, IA with a terrific discount off MSRP of about 9%. I've been chatting with them for a long time and finally decided to make it happen. They are terrific here and have serviced my GS since moving here almost 2 years ago so the relationship is there.
#82 of 536 Wow - What a Car! by aggie76 May 22, 2004 (2:59 am)
Wow, had some time to go through my owner's manual and just keep finding amazing things about my new LS. Took family for a long ride last night and all are just overwhelmed with comfort and quiet of it. Am so glad I decided to stay in the Lexus family.   Delivery experience was ok with dealer. I still rank the experience I had in getting my first Lexus at Superior Lexus in Kansas City as the finest. They had an interior room at the dealership with the car in it; decorated with chandeliers, couches and easy chairs, carpet, mirrors & music. The room was dark when we entered with music and the lights rose up as we stood there. They had soda pop and non-alcoholic champagne to celebrate the event and we spent as long as we needed to go over options, etc. Then when we were satisfied the curtains at one end parted, doors opened by remote and we could drive out.   Having taken delivery of new car in all weather conditions this was, and 7 years later, still the best experience. Don't know if Superior is still at same location but they sure did it right.   Dealer here was excellent in the entire buying experience and the car reflects that too.
#83 of 536 Why prices vary from Zip code to Zip code by cove148 Jun 04, 2004 (2:36 pm)
Looking at the LS430, when you go to Lexus.com and "build" your car you will get different option prices per market/zip code. Example in Dallas the PM package comes with the smart access when you enter that zip code. Riverside California pricing for the PM package is all together different and results in a lower price car. Mainly because you do not have to pay for the smart access. Anyone know why Lexus markets this way? Looks like $1500 over invoice is pretty standard.

Replying to: cove148 (Jun 04, 2004 2:36 pm) 1500 over invoice? Not in Tampa Bay! I was quoted $57,200 for LS 430 with premium package and smart key which is $5500 above invoice. Carsdirect.com's target price is $54,766 although Edmund's is just under $57,200. For leasing this vehicle they want 5.9% interest even though I have a 747 credit score. This is way out of line in today's low interest rate environment. I told them "good luck!" since I could buy the vehicle and with my credit score pay under 4% for 36 months and with so many other dealers out there, do better on the price. I disagree with one of the previous posters who must either be a car dealer or is married to one-that we should sympathize with the poor dealer who after all is only trying to make a decent living.We must shop around to get the best possible price even if it means going to or emailing or calling every dealer within 300 miles because as you can see Lexus of Tampa Bay was not looking out for ME! {The difference between 5.9% and 3.8% on my lease deal is $86.40 a month for 36 months($3110.)} Replies to this message: cove148 (Jun 13, 2004 3:03 pm) hpowders (Jun 14, 2004 7:15 am) wil1688 (Jun 14, 2004 7:48 pm) and 11 more... hpowders (Jun 16, 2004 5:59 am)

Replying to: hpowders (Jun 11, 2004 8:17 am) Try the Miami area. I got a $1250 over invoice price by just calling the fleet manager over the phone. Also please note if you go to Lexus.com and price/build your car you will get different options and pricing depending on the zip code you enter. The PM package means different things in different zip codes. In Texas you are not offered the PM package without the smart access. However enter an California zip code and you can order without. Got to make sure you have apples and apples.

Replying to: cove148 (Jun 13, 2004 3:03 pm) Thanks cove148. Yes I already "built" my Lexus on the website. In my zip code you cannot order the premium package without the smartkey. Wow! $1250 over invoice sounds very, very good! When I emailed the web guy at Tampa Bay Lexus about my dissatisfaction with his figures, he changed his tune and said those were just "preliminary" figures because I was only "just looking." Yeah and if I accepted his original deal, he would have stopped me because his figures were just "preliminary." I really appreciate your input. hpowders Replies to this message: wil1688 (Jun 14, 2004 7:48 pm) ess (Jun 16, 2004 2:39 pm) wil1688 (Jun 19, 2004 10:06 pm) and 9 more...
