I'm gonna be checking out a few dealerships to get prices on a is200t. Anyone have any recommendations on dealerships they've had good/bad experiences with?

Lexus of Escondido, Riverside, and Newport are all really good! I bought mine through Cerritos, but I had my broker do all that.

Back in the day I sent feelers out to Cerritos, Westminster and Tustin. In the end Cerritos got the sale but at Westminster the sales guy was Just that the options I wanted weren't coming up in the three week window I had.

Lexus of Escondido.

Ask for Randy or Ian Jaffe (sales manager) to hook you up.

I bought mine at Cerritos. The sales guy I dealt with was great and would buy from again. Their service department on the other hand...

On pure price alone, I don't think anyone can beat Longo (biggest volume dealer). Experience might be a diff story.

Concur, you can't beat volume pricing. The long drive and sales experience is another story.

Funny thing is Longo doesn't have the color combo I want in stock, but other local dealerships have it. Think I will be going to to Cerritos Lexus.

Let us know your experience and their pricing! I too am in the market for the is200t. I went to Cerritos on Monday and they seem to have a large selection but I only came for a quick test drive.

I'm guessing white or black exterior with the red seats?

I bought both ES300h in 2013 and IS200T recently from Cerritos.
For the ES, I went to Westminster, Tustin, Newport and none of them ok with the price I gave them (after research in here on what other CL members paid for the same car).
Westminster and Tustin want it for about 300 more than what I want (still reasonable price. Both are nice and not much pressure.
Newport was a terrible experience. Not only they didn't agree or give me the number they want, but instead, the sale manager point me to the CPO ES they have right next to the cubicle. I was so pissed and show him the blank check from my credit union and told him that he was insulting me.
Went to Cerritos, gave them the same number. The sale guy has to ask the manager. 5 min later, he came back and not only he agree with number but beat it by 200 bucks.

For the IS200T I just email Westminster, Longo and Cerritos. Cerritos gave me the best number on 1st reply and it was almost 1K lower than Westminster. I asked Westminster to match the price (I live closer to Westminster vs Cerritos) and Longo to beat the price, but both said it's impossible. At the end I get the car from Cerritos.

If you don't mind me asking what was the msrp on the is200t from Cerritos and your sales price?

I'm not a fan of Cerritos, not a good experience for me, but everyone is different.




I bought mine from Santa Monica Lexus, Kelly Gugerty was my sales rep. so far all my experiences there have been excellent, sales and service.

Seem like I have more luck dealing with Cerritos dealerships . Also bought both 2004 Matrix and 2011 Sienna from Toyota of Cerritos.
