2.I test drove the RX300 and wanted to buy it.
I quite frankly told the salesperson, Mike Pescatore that I would be contacting a dealer in Scottsdale for a competitive price. He INSISTED I call the competitor from the dealership, which I did. I got a price and when I told him, after a brief deliberation, he got very angry. He asked me where I lived and why I didn't want to support the local economy. He also stated that should I buy from an out of town dealership I would then be given low prioity for service at their dealership. I also would be given low priority for a loaner car should the need arise. I left the dealership upset. I called the General Manager, Mike Spector, later that day and he concurred that special priviledges are offered to customers who purchase from his dealership. He stated that I would be given low priority if I bought from another dealer. This was the way Lexus of Tucson did business.
3.I recently replaced my RX 300 with a RX 350. At first I was very happy. The problem occured after the air conditioning would intermittently stop working. The second time it went in to Warnock Lexus in Livingston, N.J.(the dealership where the car was bought) I asked they research why my airconditioning was not working and why they could not figure out what the problem was.
