#2646 of 3139 Warning for those in NJ looking for CPOs!! by biggerdaddynj Jul 10, 2009 (8:54 pm)
Wanted to give a heads up to the Jersey folks. I recently had a HORRIBLE experience with TriCounty Lexus in LittleFalls. My buddy was turning in a leased '07 RX 350. Spoke with TriCounty all week about transaction--confirmed on multiple occasions that they would take the vehicle and I would purchase it at the residual price (which other dealers confirmed could happen--also confirmed this type of deal was possible with Lexus Finance). I would then decide whether or not to CPO the car (for $2,200) or to buy an extended warranty at some point before the mfr's warranty expired. When we went to make deal today, I informed them I'd decided not to CPO the car (you lose a year on warranty because CPO only has 3 years from purchase--extended Lexus Platinum would get me the last year on the mfr's warranty and then 3 more--also vehicle only had 27K miles on it and was treated well by buddy). They immediately started playing games with me and acted as though they were a low end used car lot (their "offer" was to charge me $110 to detail the car, $450 for a "safety check" and oil change plus $795 in commission--without CPO'ing car!). Would not comply with our agreement (sales mgr was conspicuously absent even after her shift had started, hmm...). Classless organization. Contacted Warnock on Rt. 10 and went there. They did the deal no questions asked at residual. Easy as pie. Classy organization. So be forewarned about TriCounty!!!! On a positive note, would recommend Warnock.

#2648 of 3139 Drove home the RX from Ray Catena Lexus of Monmouth by lw914 Jul 12, 2009 (8:36 am)
Drove home yesterday a Starfire Pearl 2010 RX350. The experience at Ray Catena Lexus of Monmouth (Oakhurst, NJ) was very pleasant. I dealt with several dealership around me (NYC and Westchester area) and all of them didn't want to negotiate, gave me a price and told me that's their bottom line price. Basically a take it or go somewhere else attitude. Finally decided to drive 2 hours to Ray Catena Lexus of Monmouth (Oakhurst, NJ) and got what I want and a deal that's better than all the quotes I've got.   - Starfire Pearl with Parchment Leather - AWD - Comfort, premium, navigation package - wood & leather trimmed steering wheel & shift knob - cargo mat, cargo net, wheel locks - MSRP: $46,825 - Deal: $42,100 - Out the door (include sales taxes, tire tax, title fee, etc.): $45,628   I highly recommend this dealership. The salesperson (CM) I dealt with was very professional and was willing to make a deal on the phone/email.

Replying to: wrahn (Jul 12, 2009 8:53 am) How do the local dealership treat customers that have purchased vehicles elsewhere and or out of state? Replies to this message: lw914 (Jul 12, 2009 12:22 pm)

Replying to: degirl (Jul 12, 2009 9:17 am) I bought my Lexus ES from another dealership as well and I don't feel they treat me differently. Afterall, the service department is what makes money, they are more than happy to service any Lexus vehicle purchased from other dealerships.

Replying to: lw914 (Jul 12, 2009 8:36 am) Congratulations!!! Great deal at Oakhurst and thanks for listing all the info included salesperson you dealt with.   Did you initially deal with the dearlership via internet? I bought my current 2004 RX there and got a great deal when I purchased this one, waited until end of August and end of stock available which I finds helps out a lot with new models and negotiating   definitely going to try my hand at Oakhurst again, went to Catena in Freehold and they would not budge from $44,5 for the vehicle you bought   thanks again and good luck to you Replies to this message: lw914 (Jul 12, 2009 4:44 pm) chrisny (Jul 14, 2009 3:08 pm)

Replying to: chrisny (Jul 12, 2009 3:54 pm) chrisny, I initially dealt with them via internet. In fact, I submitted a quote request from this site.   $44,500 seems to be a bit high, it's even higher than the quotes I got from other dealerships around NYC and westchester. Take your time to find the best deal, like you said wait until end of August to get the best deal.   Good luck and let us know how it goes. Replies to this message: chrisny (Jul 14, 2009 3:08 pm)
