Default Purchase questions

I am planing to send a couple of emails to nearby dealers within 100 miles. If I turned out to get the lowest offer from a dealer 100 miles away, I have no problem to go purchase as it is one time. Does Lexus offer 2 free maintenance? Do I have to go to the purchase dealer for those maintenance or any Lexus dealer?
Another problem I have, I really like some important safety options such as lane departure warning, blind spots warning, and parking sensors. But those features are not listed in the standard package like basic, premium, L or UL. The way I like is, for example, these features will be included in all models above premium. Then I will forget base model. Personally, I am ok with just the base model, but I really like those safety features. So when I check with dealers, do I need to list the package ( basic, premium, L or UL) and also list all those safety features (lane departure warning, blind spots warning, and parking sensors). This really makes the purchase more complicated.

New Lexus vehicles come with 2 free services. The first, at 6 months or 5000 miles, is just basically a tire rotation and some inspections. The second, at 12 months or 10,000 miles, includes an oil change, tire rotation, and inspections. And you can have those two free services done at any Lexus dealer.

The Lexus Safety System + 2.0 is standard on all 2019 ES. It includes the pre-collision system with pedestrian detection, lane tracing assist, radar cruise control, lane departure alert, road sign assist, and intelligent high beam headlights.

Other safety features, including the blind spot monitor, rear cross traffic alert, and parking assist sensors are extra cost options. They are available on all ES trim level vehicles. For any ES with those optional safety features will have them listed on the car's window sticker.

I drove 180 miles to buy my 2019 Lexus. I have a Lexus dealer who is 3 minutes from my home but they were unwilling to make any kind of deal. Just wanted to sell at MSRP. I wasn't about to fall for that. The dealer I bought from gave me a great deal. Don't forget if you have presently own a Lexus you'll qualify for a $750 loyalty cash incentive.

But you can still get those two free services at your neighbor dealer, correct?

Thanks for the details. So in order to get blind spot monitor and parking assist sensors, I do need to check separately. Hopefully I won't forget. I wish they make these standard above certain trim levels. It is much easier to check multiple dealers in that way.

I think the loyalty cash is currently 1,000?

Yes. Absolutely. I bought an ES 350 out of state about 10 years ago and they (my local dealer) serviced it for the entire time I owned it. You should have no problem at all.

I would recommend that you configure all the features you want and at the end you can email it yourself for the link...you can send that link to the dealers and ask them to quote.
