I went to the dealership a couple of weeks ago and held off writing my review thinking all lexus dealers are horrible, but of course I was wrong
I went a couple of weeks ago to buy a 2016 lexus es CPO, we were met with Rod (Farhad) when we arrived, he showed us the car and also test drove it with him. When we went back to the office, we were informed about an accident on the car for about 7500$ that was not listed on the autotrader ad for the car
Regardless, I was still interested in the car and wanted to buy it but where things changed was when Rod would not agree to negotiate the price for the car even after informing us about the accident.
The issue was not with his ignorance about negotiating with the price but when he was asked to speak to his manager of our request, he simply said 'I cant do it as I'll be embarrassing myself' We weren't being silly with our request but anytime we spoke of anything, he simply didn't want to listen, rather just asked me to sign the paper to commit to buying the car, when he was told that unfortunately, this is not how things work for me and that I'm not going to blindly sign a paper, his attitude completely changed and told us hes not even sure whether we can afford the car or not, at which point we left all together and decided that we'd rather go to a different dealership (probably the best thing I did)
I highly recommend any other lexus dealership or simply do not deal with Rod, unless you're unsure how arrogant a sales guy can be, then definitely check him out
I should've read the reviews before I walked in as other people have also written negatively of him and spoken to someone else
I have bought 2 brand new cars and 1 used car in the past 5 years, this was definitely the worst experience I've ever had
Also a side note to the dealership: you should put 'firm price' like they do on kijiji ads so people like me and others dont waste our time or yours
