I just want to start by saying that this dealership destroyed every chance of me buying a vehicle from Jim Hudson ever again. Since March 2021 I've showed interest in buying a Lexus IS500 Launch Edit More

We are sorry this scenario has unfolded the way it has from your perspective. Unfortunately limited number special edition vehicles are sold for market value and we do not take deposits because we never know how many we will receive and we try to avoid taking a customers money and holding it when we do not even know if we can fill a request. Once vehicles are actually allocated to us and we have a vin # we then and only then offer them for sale. The sale price on these limited edition vehicles is based on market conditions and the customers with interest can determine if they have interest at market pricing. We are truly sorry for any confusion as we try to avoid these type of scenarios at all cost. This is one of the downsides to having limited edition vehicles where there is much more demand than product available. They are only making 500 total IS 500 launch edition vehicles for the nation and there are over 250 Lexus dealerships so the availability is extremely tight which drives the market value higher. Again sorry we could not perform your request and we are sorry that you are disappointed in us.

I do understand market and value but do not tell your customers that you will charge MSRP and then back down and decide to add an extra 15k just cause the market value. At the same I was told no deposit was going to be taken and then I have written proof that you took multiple deposits from other interested buyers. Mark up price was one of the things I was worried about when it comes to this car, and months ago your management told me that you will not be doing that and even less to a frequent buyer like myself. I was even given an example of a customer who bought an LC 500 at MSRP when they came out new. I wrote this review back in December 21, 2021 and I was told multiple times that management was going to contact me to make things right. Today is January 12, 2022 and still nothing. Like I said before, you guys simply don't care about your customers relations, even when they're frequent buyers. I'm currently on waiting list at Hendricks Lexus up in NC for any IS500 that comes up and they charge MSRP, plus they offer Military discount on top of that. The seller keeps me updated at least every week on allocations and even the General Manager contacted me and offered assistance, without ever buying a vehicle from them before.
