I used to work in a Lexus dealer, and you had better believe those people will drive around and work for every single penny they can. Most of the high end buyers are pretty tight with the wallet and will beat you down during a deal, since they know they can go wherever they want and buy a car.

I just saw one of my neighbors has imported one. Haven't had the chance to talk to him yet but it looks like it's in decent shape.

If you’ve never worked in a dealer then you don’t understand, I on a daily basis get people coming in with 460 credit scores, 9,000 in negative equity, no money to put down and on some occasions no insurance that want to buy brand new 70,000 dollar suv's with a 350 dollar budget. The thing everyone on here fails to…

Because in the last 5 years I've never had a credit union rate I couldn't beat. It's not all its cracked up to be.

Are you secretly hiding in our showroom?

And then they get mad when you finally do run their credit and they can’t finance a Schwinn but are trying to buy a $40,000 dollar car.

You'd actually be surprised how many people were content driving their 300,000 mile ES's and RX's, often they would say there was nothing wrong with it and they couldn't justify a new one.

I used to work for a Lexus dealer, this type of thing was not uncommon.

Shotgun!

Any idea if this is the same Serra that has a bunch of stores in Michigan?

I used to work for a dealer that did the same thing, taking cars that we had sold and reporting them as sold by our underperforming sister store.

Do you follow Doug on Twitter? Because the answer to that question is absolutely yes.

Chevrolet is going to be doing this again with the current gen. Since the new body style wont launch until the end of the year we are going to have a short model year run of the 14-15 body badged as a limited selling side by side with the much nicer new model.

Good Call, I apologize, it was the continental and LS that were also built there.

Yeah I don’t think anyone is.

I had a buddy back in high school who’s dad worked the line at the Ford Wixom plant, building Towncars and Crown Vics, we’d get home from school right before he got home from work, and every day the first thing he would do is taker 6-8 empty beer cans out of his lunch box. It wasn’t a joke at all.

I used to be social media director (among many other titles) for a luxury dealer, the toughest thing that I always ran in to, no matter what type of content I would come up with was simply getting people to give a shit and get engaged. I'd run everything from service and pre owned specials, product reviews and…

Totally agree.

That's great advice. I used to work a Lexus dealer for 3 years, and I learned that the guy who comes in on a Tuesday afternoon in torn up jeans and a faded t shirt is usually a guy who's doing very well for himself, doesn't have to be at the office and has the time to kick around and buy whatever he wants, and has…

My buddy and I used to play it a ton in college after the bar, until we'd get tossed out for yelling and trying to hit eachother.
