Hello everyone - this is a very busy message board which is great to see! I am in the market for a new sedan and this lexus is at the top of my list so far. What dealerships in the Atlanta area are best to deal with? I live up near roswell as a reference point. I will likely do a 36 month lease but that could change as well. thanks for any information you all care to share.

Awesome message board by the way, I have been reading all theses posts for about the last 4.5 hrs trying to educated on these cars and what all the owners think of them.

One more question; I am assuming you can get the factory 18" wheels in chrome as an option however I have not been able to locate if this is fact and what the cost is.

I got my Lexus from Nalley Lexus of Roswell off of exit 8 on 400. Their service was great and there was no run-around.

I agree with the above post (Nalley Lexus of Roswell). I actually live in the Gwinnett area and first began looking at Hennessy of Gwinnett (closer) and was not too happy with the way the salesman treated my wife and I. We both felt like he was talking down to us. Came back with this ridiculous deal, and when I responded with what I felt was more fair, he responded with "well, this is a Lexus". We said see ya. Started working with Nalley on-line at first. Ended up with a step up in the package we were looking at and ISP wheels for less then Hennessy offered on their less-optioned car. Service has been excellent at Nalley Roswell too. It has been about 1.5 years since the purchase part, but if (Rizzo - salesman, not sure of spelling), he is great to work with.

I purchased my IS250 at Hennessy of Gwinnett. My experienced was totally different from dw8787. I got this korean lady Kye Sun. She's friendly and worked hard to get the deal we wanted. A year later came back to her to trade and received great offer for trade-n and the new car. Never experienced with Nalley of Roswell but heard good reports from them from friends.

Thanks folks for the feedback so far. I have already sent an email to Nalley on mansel road. Waiting to get some more info on their cars and what kind of deals they will make.

Chrome wheels are not a factory Lexus option, they are a dealer offered option.

Yes,

Even with the internet sales at most dealers, they attempt to give a run-around at times. I have heard at some Lexus dealers, they basically have a couple of particular models on the late and say, "We'll it is a Lexus" and use this to optimize their negotiating tactics in there favor leaving the customer to feel like they have less negotiating power. It is better to play dealers pricing betwen each other. Another thing, it is the law in most states for the dealer to provide a "Buyers order." Get one from one dealer you don't plan on buying the car from and then take it to another dealer and use it for your advantage.

Got a good deal from Steve Fischman at Nalley in Roswell. Good Luck!
You can get those Chrome OEM wheels off ebay for good prices.
