tom_hargreaves Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 It was a Lexus - and ironically a silver one. But it was just a Lexus to me, nothing interesting really. You know Lexus don't you? The (Apparent) BMW and Audi beaters you keep raving on about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom_hargreaves Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 (edited) Do be quiet Tom, go and have a word with yourself and report back with your findings. I have the finished report and here and my findings: -I've found Lexus' don't work as cars...Still. -I like driving my pieces of engineering brilliance. -You whine...Excessively. -I like alcohol. -I like sex. The latter you must be in dire lack of, which will explain the frustration you posess towards the opposite sex. ....Waits in anticipation of the awesome reply....

Alphadirective Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 See my above point. Damn, I'm too late! Need to refresh the screen more! I clicked a linky from the vwaudiforum.co.uk. I think we'll all find it very "amusing" you labelled us all cocks and knobheads. Still, should at least make us glad we never chose Lexus! Our dealers may be stealers, and our customer service may leave something to be desired, but at least they're polite when they rip us off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I went into my nearest Lexus dealer, why did they look at me like I wasn't worth the time of day and ignore me? When someone can stand about with a chequebook in hand and the salesmen don't do anything, then surely there is something wrong? Hence I went for Audi!

theduisbergkid Posted December 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 (edited) If you're a real Lexus Dealer, then I'm a Chinaman, no-one would do so much damage to their company by spouting such b0ll0cks.... unless they're working their notice due to lack of sales and don't give a stuff. Am I warm ? But, like the people here at Peartree Productions, a pipe of pringles and some sparkling wine makes everything seem better. We even might go to Long Stanton Spice Museum later. Or the Owl Sanctuary. Would love to join you in some fascinating banter, but I'm presenting a military quiz show on cable on UK TV Gold, then on my early morning slot on Radio Norwich later.

When someone can stand about with a chequebook in hand and the salesmen don't do anything, then surely there is something wrong? Hence I went for Audi! That is a very good point (seriously). There is no excuse for that whatsoever and it is a problem that is being constantly addresses with continued training and "going back to basics" We as dealers need to recognise that any potential customer who makes the effort to come to our dealerships could be a sale - there is no excuse for anyone to be ignored in that manner. (see, I can be sensible) Unless he's a messer who just wants to borrow one of our superior motor vehicles which he desires to aspire to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom_hargreaves Posted December 22, 2008 Report Share Posted December 22, 2008 :roflmao:I love how the accusation of sounding like a 14 year old wasn't objected against. But even better your comment re-inforced this accusation. Priceless. People wasting dealers' time. Boo hoo, we've heard it all before. You aren't the only person here who sells or has sold cars before. See my comments from last week you obviously failed to read: I've been reading this thread with increasing disbelief and have to throw in my 2 cents.Here we go again. If you're one of these complete dimwits who gets brainwashed by everything Clarkson says then you'll recall him aswell that the M3 beat the IS-F in just about every way imaginable - And that's because it's actually Lexus' who are piss poor in comparison not the other way around. Have you ever driven an equivalent Audi or BMW? Obviously not. Or you're judgemental skills are that of a small goat. Stop whining. You're a salesman, and not the only one who is having to survive in the current economical climate. You deal with the general public and not all of them are a salesman's dream. They are parting with their hard earned cash - that they don't have as much of - on a depreciating asset. It's what your job entails, SELLING people a car, i.e Talking to them and (Trying) to convince them not to buy from a rival brand like Datsun...Or Ssangyong. Dream customers who are adament on a certain car without looking at different brands are few and far between these days, and ironically go against the definiton of a "Salesman" because you then aren't actually having to sell them a car. Just filling out V5's and Sales Order forms. When you work for Lexus and comment on a public forum, you represent the brand and the reputation it comes with. And have done a magnificent job in giving it a bad name. The other problem is that you obviously seem to think the brand is bigger than it is. Lexus has never been a BMW or Audi beater and never will be, it's a rebranded Toyota for crying out loud (No offence to Toyota's). Wake up to the real world.
