Ugh…same here. Went to a Cars and Coffee a few months back and remarked how nicely chill the event was. The overwhelming response: “Wait until noon, when the MOPAR folks show up. It will become super loud and the vibe will change.”

I left at 11… 😜

Lmaooo. I couldn’t relate more. Went to a meet two nights ago. The ad for the meet said no revving, burnouts, or loud music. What did the Mopar people start doing at 11? Revving, burnouts, and loud music. That’s when the JDM people started leaving

LOL! See!

I’ve seen the word ‘hooliganism’ used a lot to describe them. I don’t say those types of things, but geeeeeez those folks are a bit too much! 😂

I just don't understand how dozens of people are okay lending the dealership $1000 for a few months. That $1000 would be better spent in a high yield savings account.
markups were the outlier on select highs demand /low inventory vehicle models prior to the pandemic. I can’t remember a time when a Chevy Malibu had a markup. It’s unreal.

Am I the problem? No, it's the dealers who did this to me

Anthony was my salesman and I had nothing but the best experience at Longo Lexus when picking up my IS500 @ msrp. There was a tiny scratch on my AC vent and they got it replaced, no questions asked.

How has the used market been? Has anyone had good success selling theirs?

One sold for MSRP at Cars and Bids. The used ones at Dealers sell for well over MSRP

I was working with Anthony Nguyen at Longo. He seemed like a cool guy but now I’m seeing he’s not even on their website anymore. I was about to send my cc info to him for a deposit until I saw that life-changing post here about Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Santa Fe is another MSRP dealership y’all should look into. What a gem. They drove me an hour from the airport to the dealer and even pointed out Madrid from Wild Hogs and then where that criminal Alec Baldwin killed that poor girl. Experience of a lifetime.
Hi macmaster, Anthony has moved to finance now, I will be taking over, my name is Dixon and I am a sales at Longo, 2023 IS500 will be sold at MSRP, unless it is a special edition IS500.

Any questions you can reach out to me.

Sounds to me like you guys want to get sued. Your website does not have a disclaimer that special editions will be sold over MSRP...

Longo Lexus is a sham, they have 76 people on a waitlist and are not selling them at MSRP. I called in and they told me all IS500 would have a mark up and the Molten Pearl would be 20-25K over. They also told me they have Deposits on those 76 people, I specifically asked them that question. Why take 76 deposits when you're not even going to get 76 IS 500's. Longo is losers. There are dealers out there with minimal wait-lists who will charge MSRP, with no dealer add-ons. The downturn is coming in the economy and its coming to cars too. I cant wait until it hits and we can go back to working the dealerships for Invoice pricing. I am on 4 waitlists for a car, all at MSRP. This will be the first car I buy at MSRP, all my lexus vehicles have been at $500 over invoice.

Agreed. And I swear these dealers all must think that we have Alzheimer’s and we are going to forget their current practices later when they’ll be begging people to just step into the dealer. Their time will come. Don’t worry. For now, just blast them with 1 star reviews.
