Lexus delivery charge

Has to be a mistake? Are they sending it in a container by itself??

Lexus Dealers are very challenging to deal with, When I enquired about a straight cash price from one they told me they were not in the business of discounting their cars and before any would talk to me they asked where I lived, I had access to addresses near them and that made them happy, I felt triaged.

New Dealers now in Waterford and Letterkenny adds a Little competition in what is really a cartel in our country, try them as that’s simply an attempt at extortion, buy something else ?

Is there someone with a gun to your head forcing you to buy a Lexus?

Tom murphy in waterford new dealer likely to be keen to deal or letterkenny ?

Try educating me. What's the point that I am missing?

Do you know why exactly they asked where you are from? A lot of the time its just to figure out how you found them, for marketing purposes I think

The only sensible answer to that is to establish if I lived within their ‘ patch ‘, I had to give addresses local enough to three dealers in order to get a quote, I was triaged.

One of them would only quote me if I traded in my car with them at a stupid price.

IMO these cars would sell more if the sales process were easier and there was competition, another two dealers is a step in the right direction.

Yeah thats a bit weird alright

They must have a car people want to buy, hasn’t happened in a long time. Last relative hit they had was the IS220d nearly 20 years ago. The UK import market killed then in the 2010s, so they’ve only really been a glorified servicing network in Ireland in recent years. They’ll be wanting to make money if there’s a desirable model out.

I don't think Lexus have much interest in the Irish market, it's too small. The UK is their biggest RHD market in Europe and even there they don't sell near the same numbers the big 3 German marques sell. I'd say Ireland probably gets a small allocation of models destined for the UK. I think in general looking at their range on offer in Europe, they are only really interested in the US market.

It really was terrible.
