Replying to: sicom007 (Apr 02, 2007 1:42 pm) Not certain what you are saying: "Please ask Lexus if you can buy a car in Calif. and use it in WI." I could not find a reply to another member as you indicated or I didn't recognize the context. Can you clarify please? Thanks. Also is KDSS routinely available now in CA? Mike

Replying to: hunts1 (Apr 03, 2007 9:25 am) Let's say I move to another state next month and I have already purchased the car you think I cannot use the car there? If KDSS is already available in CA then you can always buy it if you want. The dealer I bought it from said that it was not available at the time I bought (3 weeks back) is there any other information that you require? |

First of all, I sincerely do appreciate getting the contacts for the Cali based Lexus dealers.. However, my experiences thusfar are summarized as follows 1) Dealer A wants me to FLY to California in order to "earn my business". That's pretty dumb, IMHO. 2) Dealer B never answers a question, only gives me copy and pasted information about the cars she has in stock. Good information, but just doesn't take the time to read my notes (ie, I want ivory interior and she gave me 2 price quotes for gray) or answer my questions "How do we process payment..?" What about collecting sales tax ?" Really EASY questions. 3) I got a third contact from the Club Lexus board who was VERY responsive, but wouldn't deal for less than 1% over invoice (plus the costs of shipping to NJ) So..again I thank the kind gentlemen that provided the contacts, but for me, it didn't work out..Maybe if you are closer to CA than I am... Good Luck ED |

Replying to: edwardc3000 (Apr 11, 2007 2:58 pm) That dealer works with Brokers in Colorado, so she was familiar with Shipping and out of state buyers. She sent me the paper work DHL Overnight..I sent back with payment checks/Signatures. She priced Shipping - was the best rate I could find. $500 - not enclosed. So she handled that as well. I just sent a check. It should be arriving (hoping the weather doesn't slow it down) Saturday. She reiterated that if I see anything wrong with the vehicle that I can send it right back - same shipper, they would handle it. Sales Tax - because I was shipping out of the state of California - I was required to pay sales tax in my state, (Colorado Sales Tax) and its processed, I believe, when I register the vehicle. So Far good experience...I will let you know as soon as everything processes.

Replying to: infonut (Apr 12, 2007 6:16 pm) I contacted Fleetrates.com at the recommendation of another forum. They could go $1500 over invoice, this without any negotiation on my part. I was simply doing some preliminary work anddid not try to negotiate a better deal. I am not buying for another month or 2. They stated that all Lexus dealers charge $790 dealer prep but they would waive that through Fleetrates.com. I am not sure if this is true or not. Additional shipping charge would apply but that will be an issue from anyone whom I would have ship to me. I coud get it within a week if it is in stock at any number of dealers they work with. Anyone out there have any info on this dealer prep issue? Seems like a bogus charge to increase dealer profit. Good job by the way on your deal. Mike mnordst344 aol.com
