how about http://www.lexuswestminster.com/ ask for Kerry, he is a big IS guy, a long timer from my.is.
Tell him Fig sent ya I just hooked him up with a RMM splitter for his car.


Fig

 

I haven't heard very good things about them, I'd definitely look around! Start where Fig sent you, he wouldn't lead you wrong

 

Yup, can't go wrong with Lexus of Westminister. My family has bought 4 cars from them and always have gotten great deals. Go and try to talk to Ralph, the salesman( he is an older guy, but very good salesman and person I might add). We brought our IS-F from them and definitely great service.

 

from what i've heard, the socal dealers are not getting 09s until they clear the 08s....

david from cerritos lexus is a nice guy...

 

Tcelicargtsd did you go to that dealership by yourself? And also what's your age? I notice that these shady dealership judges you by your appearance. I went through the same thing as you did but it was in NJ.

 

Sorry to hear about the b.s. treatment you received at Longo Lexus--doesn't really surprise me. When the IS F came out early this year, they put me on the waiting list and never even called me back to buy a car!! I couldn't believe it (I was absolutely serious and bought a car from another dealer right away).

I'd recommend trying South Bay Lexus in Torrance. Good guys and no pressure. Also, there's an excellent strip of road near the dealer that surrounds a muni airport, so you can really get on the pedal for a bit if you'd like to.

Good luck.

 

I have nothing but great things to say about Longo. I have purchased 3 Lexus' from them in the last 4 years. The most recent one was my special order 2009 IS F which I just picked up this past Friday.

 

ohhh Flipside got a new IS-F! Where are the pics?

 

BTW, since I was there just recently, they have a 2009 Ultrasonic Blue with Black interior in their showroom as we speak.

 

I have delt with Jim Brown at Longo Lexus and have sent more then a few other people to him for cars and Jim and Longo have been nothing short of awesome to deal with. I would give him a call and see if he cannot make up for your bad experiance you had with Longo so far.

 

thanks everyone.i chose to go to Longo because its only a few miles from where i live. and crazee i dont think it was my appearance even though i'm a bald 21 year old chinese guy. i went with my dad and we rolled up in a BMW 535i parked in front of the salesman. i also think they wont be getting 2009's until they clear the 08's because they have around 5-6 left. some of them have the red tag sale which is $3000 off so $59k plus tax or out the door would be great and possible. i guess i'll try making some phone calls next month or something

 

What color are you looking for? They have one 2009 Ultrasonic Blue in their showroom as I mentioned previously. As for 2009 inventory, you wont find any in the Western Region until they deplete most of their 2008 in the current inventory.

 

I picked up mine today for 53,500 fully loaded with clear bra, xm, and tint. 45 miles on it brand new. You can def. find great deals this month. You need to be patient, because you hold all of the cards.

 

i'm actually looking for a white one but i want a 2009 just because but i might think about swapping the tail lights for 2008's if possible. i think the older gen tail lights look a lot better but i dont mind. i'm not in a rush still trying to sell my Celica. and bro 53k thats 3-4k cheaper than MSRP. great deal who did you talk to and where??

 

Actually, the '08 and '09 F tailights are the same. The '09 2IS changed tails, but the F didn't. Mine is an '08, but i've attached a pict of an '09.

thanks low rider thanks for the good news

 

I got mine at Crown Lexus in Ontario. If you are a Sam's Club member, you'll save $4,700 off the sticker price. Talk to Jim Martin. He's very professional and accommodating. He'll even give you a chance to step on it!

 

$53,500?? is that "out the door price"? and where did u get it from?
i am still deciding i should order the 09s or pick up the 08s....
= =...

 

It really depends on whether if you mind paying full MSRP or want to save a few grand. There is no performance upgrade and there's only a few minor cosmetic change in the '09s. Right now is the best time for the deals on the '08s.

 

If you're in an area with a large number of F sitting in inventory, there is a possible chance of getting it for very close to invoice pricing. But I would recommend go around the dealers and do your research. However, if you plan to trade in your car in the future its better off to pay for sticker price so you get more value out of your car.

 

Longo Lexus, call Mr. Jim Brown and deal only with him.

Tell him I sent you They got me the first IS-F they ever had for sale in CA and have taken good care of me. Call Jim today ! We also got my wife's RX350 from there and have referred a dozen other customers there.
