Been awhile since i joined but now i finally have the funds to buy an L. I was just wandering what dealerships the Houston L owners would recomend. ANyone that yall know that i could talk to would be great. Its hard trying to find ppl that will listen to a 19 year old.

 

yep i had/have the same problem last year....once you ask to test drive a 30k vehicle...people just give you that look.

 

I wont deal with a dealership that questions me b/c of my age. Who are they to question you? It pisses me off specially when they run a credit check and it all comes out good. I am also 19 by the way. The best experience i've had was at a high end car dealership. I was loookking at a Black Diablo when the salemen came up and asked me if i was looking to finace or pay cash.

 

Try here for info:

I understand where you're at, but it is their loss...

I'm 44 and just dropped 65K for a new Lexus. When I visited the Audi dealer to test drive the A8 (the only other car I was interested in) I was dressed in Jeans, a tee shirt, tennis shoes, and quite frankly lookin rather sloppy...the fact that I pulled up in what they believed only to be a pickup truck didn't help either. The schmucks there wouldn't give me the time of day.

Too bad for them.

Walked into the Lexus dealer and drove out with a new LS430.

If they don't treat you right and with respect, walk away.

 

Usually i can get them to talk to me untill i mention x-plan.

 

LOL The dealer I talked to about L's and cobras said they would sell at sticker w/ the xplan on svt's as they charge a premium! Called the new ford dealer down the road and said anything including the cobra he would sell on xplan! I was extremely happy as I am 22 and need all the breaks I can so hopefully around xmas time I will have sumpin new in the garage!

 

Yea I know what you mean. Well their loss, I just went to another dealership that had know problem with dealing with me.

MEAT BAG:
I'm only 19 myself and just got my L last year and been loving every min of it. These trucks rock hope you enjoy it once you have it.

 

well if 5 grand in ur hand for less than 1/2 of the a down payment, they will be running after you, literally,,

i just got my l a week or so ago and im only 17 and still in high school (5 days a weekand) and work full time

you want to get the dealership after you instead of you being after them, just bull**** wit them that you saw a year newer model wit less miles goin for the a grand cheaper than the L your lookin at, and have mad cash on you, i got my L 3 grand under wat they were askin for wit a 4 year xplan

 

Get some Grey hair dye. Stay up drinking all night long so you have bags under your eyes. Get some of those cheap reading glasses from Walmart to wear to the dealer. You will look about 10 years older. They'll be all over you...LOL.


Rocks

 

I think I would have been able to guess that Sorry, couldn't resist

 

GOOD ONE 03

Meat Bag, I walked out of two Dealers before buying my Cobra a few years back, and one Dealer before buying the L this time out.
I'm funny like that, If I can't get treated the way I WANT, then they don't get MY MONEY. look around, you will find a money hungry Salesman somewhere to kiss your CASH

GOOD LUCK

BTW, I'm old and that happen, so it's not just an age thing,
people are just a$$holes these days

I spent 4 months looking for a good truck that was what I wanted (4x4, V8, full size, extended cab, power windows and locks, etc) and finally found one in my price range with most of features, and then went ot the dealer it was at and walked around for 20 minutes checking out the other cars after I found the truck I was looking for before a salesman came up to help, they had been sitting in the office before they came out, real annoying, but I still bought it since it was the truck I had been lookng for, they got off easy on that one
