you know what, coming from a Nissan, I'm just glad i have the OPTION of a loaner car! I really don't care what it is, but it's nice to know they have them. If i asked for a loaner from Nissan, they would have laughed at me, lol.

With that said, i rarely take a loaner. I use their shuttle service much more (i work 1 mile from the dealer). I don't like the contract you sign for the loaner (being liable for a $5k deductible if anything happens, yeah, no thanks!). If they offered an insurance option for some $$, i would take it in a heartbeat.

I got an ES once, Rx twice and currently have an IS250. Makes me appreciate the power of my 350.

I've had ES350, RX330/350, Camry, and Dodge Dakota (?) as loaners. All were for a day or less...

I have never been asked to sign a contract, anyone else?

The dealership I use, Ray Catena, offers their customers a choice of an ES350, IS250 or RX350.

We went to 2 dealers in San Diego. One dealership gave us Camry, and ES 350, and the other one gave us an RX330. I did found out the the first dealership will loan out all the Lexus first, then they will start loaning out Cmary or X3. However, the other dealership seems only have Lexus loaner.

I took mine to dealer only once. They gave me a Hyundai Azera. Other choice was Ford Taurus. Partially it was my fault since I took the car in without confirmed appointment.

Every month I take my car in for a Polyshield treatment and everytime so far I've gotten a ES350. I miss my car even before I drive it out from the parking lot.
