Michelle,


I don't have a "hookup", but I get most of the parts for my LS at Hoy Fox Automotive Group. They seem to have the best prices and service, but they are not local. Hope this helps.

I do in the service dept at Freeman Lexus in Santa Rosa, they actually service my Z, that way I get a loaner car and don't have to wait. I sold my lexus, but they still do periodic service for me. don't know any of the sales people but i could ask my guy if he has any pull with one. Sounds like you want to buy one??

yeah, if it wouldn't be too much trouble, i'd appreciate it.

btw, i'm looking for a (04 preferred) white sc430, if that helps.
and once again, i'm having trouble finding one and a dealership that takes me seriously..... its like my 350z hunting experience all over again.

I will ask. I don't see too many of them at the dealership. They are pretty nice! Funny back seat, a midget couldn't fit back there.

I went to Lexus of Marin to pick up my IS300. The service there was great. Ask for a lady named Glee Israel. She was a pleasant person who had no bs. If you seriously wanted the deal she'll make it happen.

Goodluck in your car search. Lexus is a great choice. Service is top notch.

Default Good hunting!

MGL, Try Amir Bak, he is the GM of Serramonte Nissan but his dealership group includes a Lexus dealership.
415-559-4042, I bought my ZR from him at $1100 under MSRP.

Or Steve Cacela at Pleasanton Lexus, bought my RX300 for $900
over invoice from him. 510-386-3444

Wait til the end of the month, better prices.

Hope you find the one you want, I love the SC430!

You should have told me you were looking for an sc430. I went to the Taste of Lexus event at Alameda Point last month. It waS FUN!

Good luck in your search. Lexus build great cars!
