Northern California recommendation by rreis

I am ready to buy a IS350 but our top color choices are Desert Sage or Smokey Granite - both uncommon colors. I have contacted several dealers around Palo Alto, CA and once they hear what colors I want, I get the usual BS about "they don't make the IS350 in these colors" or "I have checked the national inventory (supposedly) and there is nothing available in the entire country".
 
I am willing to pay for transportation if we find the right car. Can someone recommend a professional Lexus dealer who doesn't mind doing a little searching to make his money?
 
Thanks,

at keyes lexus in sherman oaks, i negotiated a price of $36,250 out the door (IS 250 with nav, premium pkg, 18" wheels). but this must be the "take what's in the lot, i'm not going to lift a finger to find the color you want" price... because after they took my deposit and promised a car in two weeks, he hasn't contacted me since.
 
at jim falks, he quoted me a price $1,500 over invoice which is $33,791 for a total of $36946.22 after T/T/L.
 
overall i paid $700 more at Jim Falks but i got the color i wanted, but more importantly the service and respect that i deserve.
 
happy shopping :o)

A little off topic but still can apply to car buying, it definately influences ones decision of when to purchase.

Highlights are 3 colors being replaced with new ones, 2 features previously only available in a package are available a la carte. Instead of the traditional antenna it will sport the sharkfin antenna look (I believe that's the one in the middle). Biggest tweak in the authors and my opinion is the VSC/VDIM defeat button, and there will be a second, less expensive sport package.

Yeah, same here for us .. they are a "factory"
It's a "take what we have in stock, cause this is all there is"
But funny to know that LEXUS of VALENCIA is also a KEYES store but they were so very helpful and special ordering a car was a "no problem" and they didn't even take a deposit!!
His attitude was:"If you flake on this car, I can sell it to someone else for probably more than you, so it's no problem!"

I think the invoice was 32000. The color was blue because i didnt want a black car in las vegas. otherwise i would baked myself alive on 110 degrees day. well, 32000 was my aiming price but i didnt get it. so I let them share the profit, the truth is since i work at the bank, i am getting such an awesome rate Prime minus 4, i cant complain.
 
i still cant sleep, too excited =]]
