Was this the one from Priority Lexus? Did you end up paying a markup?

Nice! It's all fair, you paid your dues.

I tried to get a job as a part time barista (weekends only) at a few Lexus dealerships, so that I could get a discount, but they never returned my calls.

::chuckling:: Yeah keep it to yourself or to just to our DMs. For whatever reason, people would rather get mad instead of celebrating the achievement! 👏🏽💪🏽

I got mine at MSRP and in this market, I’m glad to have paid no more and no less.

*LMAO* I think they read the forum and realize that macmaster greeting clients wouldn't be a good idea (LMAO) - Just teasing buddy, I am just as crusty as you are....

That's exactly what my resume says on the header. "macmaster"

Actually the mistake was probably placing the deposits before I applied. They were on to me.

I'm not here to brag, but I got mine used for less than MSRP in March 2021. Only possible due to an accounting error from the BMW I purchased it from which they were not happy about 🤣

Accounting errors can legally be corrected. They let you have it and acted upset lol.

Oh they didn't act upset, they were. They listed the car for 63,000 on Autotrader and their website around 7pm as they closed, and called at 8am the next day and got a deposit down on it through a salesman through their official dealer portal from a link sent by that salesman, and 15 minutes later they found out they weren't supposed to sell my particular car. For 3 days, that finance guy tried coming up with reason why I, the guy buying the car, had to cancel the sale.

During this time they tried to tell me their sister Lexus dealer was going to override the sale and take the car, why I had to cancel because I was out of state, why I had to cancel because the dealers friend actually wanted it, the GM said he wouldn't sell to a non-Florida resident, and while all this happened they relisted my car for 8k higher than I ended up paying for it.

They 100% were not happy about it 🤣😂🤣

I feel like the 50% of the void left by Incognito was just filled in by Ultra White 🤣

So the #BlueCrew is still the rarest of them all? Hmmm that’s not helping my plans for world domination with volume. I need to pivot, there’s enough of us to be installed in leadership positions around the world! #WorldDominationRedefined 😈😜

Seriously…thank you SO much for keeping track of this information. It’s very very cool!! 👍🏽🤘🏽

Yes I am one of them that made the switch from a '22 LE to a '23 Ultra-White.
