Default Leaving Texas, moving back home to LA/MS gulf coast!!

Moving back home to the MS gulf coast area. Thinking of buying a house in Slidell, LA. Just wanted to know how many CL members live in this part of the U.S. I have noticed a couple. We need a gulf coast meet!!!!!! By the way, where do you guys get your cars serviced? The only Lexus dealer in that whole area within driving distance is Lexus of New Orleans and there is one in Jackson MS. I also found a Toyota in Slidell.

I live in MS and get my car serviced at Allen Toyota in Gulfport or drive it back to the dealership Lexus of Mobile for warranty issues.

If you are coming toward the MS gulf coast you'll be suprised to see the car scene we have. Both imports and domestics alike! If you'd like to meet up with the MS/LA/AL car scene shoot me a tell.

Slidell is closer to New Orleans, but you can try Price LeBlanc Lexus in Baton Rouge. My folks live in Baton Rouge, and have always used his service department. They've been happy. The old man that owns the place is rated tops for customer service in both Lexus and Toyota.

Do note however that their service department is paired with Toyota (dealerships are side by side on Airline Highway). They are a relatively small Lexus dealership.

I did not know that Price LeBlanc owns Lexus of New Orleans. Price is the old guy now confined to a wheel chair that gives away country sausage with every new car. Are you sure that the New Orleans dealership is owned by him? I was under the impression that Price does not have any dealerships outside of the Baton Rouge area. His service department, by the way, is top notch.
