Default I am ready to take the plunge, where should I buy

Im ready to trade in my MBZ 2012 E350 Sport for a GS350 F Sport, based on your experience, where can I find the best pricing in SoCal? is $55k out the door doable? Im ready to pull the trigger this weekend to take advantage of the end of the month rush for sales to make their monthly quota.

Thank you for your help, looking forward to join the Lexus family.

He said F-sport...$55K OTD is probably a stretch, mainly because CA Tax will set you back $5K+

I've talked to a couple of dealerships and I got them to $57 OTD but I want to do better...

Thanks for the recommendation. Is Longo the dealership with the biggest volume in sales in SoCal?

As for pricing, it will come down to what options you want and who has the car. Since they are in short supply right now ... it's really who can get the car configured the way that you want.

I got mine from Cerritos Lexus the day it came off the delivery truck. It didn't even get into inventory and most of the sales guys didn't even know it was there until it was in the delivery area for waiting for me.

Longo is pretty reputable too. From what I was told, they sold an LFA to a customer in Baldwin Park almost a year ago.

i am not 100% but i would tend to think so. i think they are the largest in the western region? their sales figures are pretty insane for sure.

they have sold at least two lfa. one black (very early on) and one white (end of last year).
