Default Contacts at So Cal dealerships

My sister is looking into getting a GX470. Plan on shopping around. Have already gotten a quote from crown lexus
A 2006 Lexus GX 470 with voice activated navigation, Mark Levinson audio, Bluetooth technology, third row seating, rear air conditioning, tow package, rear spoiler, wheel locks and cargo mat has an MSRP of $53,173 and a special internet price of $46,880
I know invoice is 40,484 + destination + 2471.00 (Levinson/Navi)
But plan on going to Longo and checking out their pricing. Does anyone know someone personally who could hook up a CL member with pricing as close to invoice as possible regardless if at longo or other local dealer. I'm in riverside.
Your help is appreciated.

There is a woman from Longo who is active here on CL, but I don't know her personally.

I do know Verone over there, however - he actually is the Scion Sales Manager. His buddy Mark Sata at Longo Lexus would be a good guy to talk to about a new Lexus. Mark has a sweet white SC430 on 20" wheels - it doesn't hurt that he is a car nut.

Unless there is a new rep, you might be talking about Elizabeth. Liz used to be at Longo. She then went to Glendale but now is no longer with Lexus.

Dave - try doing the "contact a dealer" option on Carsdirect.com or cars.com. I've gotten some very aggressive price quotes from all over the LA area without having to leave the house.

I can't say that he's going to drop his pants right off the bat and offer the cheapest price upfront... But he's very straightforward and has awesome follow up and customer service skills, and we were able to get down very good prices with him.

Well guys I was able to get a good deal at Lexus of Riverside for the GX470 fully equipped. Paid 45880, which no one else, not even longo could match . Dealt with Ron Gilmore there and he almost convinced me to trade for the new gs.
Thanks for all the recommendations though guys.

It is a very nice ride. My wife was interested in getting the RX but now fell in love with the GX.
