I'm totally dissapointed by the approach of the sales people at Sewell Lexus in Dallas, TX.

I made an appointment with Dawn Betrus, Sat. 9/12/09 to test drive a used '07, IS 350, Blue, w/ tan interior. I arrived 5 minutes earlier, she was busy with paper work and could not see me right away, instead, she sent her " assistant" a half hour later whom took us to the " Pre-owned" building. Again waited in the lobby for another 20 minutes. Finally, her assistance took us to meet " Dawn" in which she told me that the car I was interested in ,and came to test drive, was not operable since it needed repairs, but I could drive a " similar car " I asked her why she didn't called me to let me know that the car I was interested and PRE_CERTIFIED needed repairs. She said: " I just found out, 2 minutes ago" . I was shocked. I drove 42 miles ( round trip ) for nothing. This morning I spoke with David Keilson about a Pre-owned IS350, '09 w/7,000. His approach was just as arrogant as Dawn's. After I sent this complaint, I received a call from James ( last name ? ,
assistant to the pre-owned manager ), he asked me to come in and test drive the original car I was interested in and another that was available...I drove once again to the dealership thinking this time, I would be driving home in one of the Lexus. I never imagined the poor customer service and approach I received from James. He really needs a refreshment course on how to treat people. He accused me of being confrontational when I tried to negotiate the price down $500, he
asked me to leave if I didn't accept his terms. WOW! talk about good customer service? His incompetence/poor behavior is a reflection of the training he received at Sewell Lexus.


Mr. Sewell ought to know that his book and remarks ( below ) are not applicable to the Lexus on Lemmon Ave. in Dallas.

Customers for Life:

Details
Carl Sewell's customer service philosophy serves as a guiding tenet for all the people who work at Sewell Lexus. Sales, service, parts, finance and administrative personnel are guided not by a long list of rules, but a deeper commitment to total customer satisfaction.
Mr. Sewell's book, Customers for Life, is available from the Sewell Lexus parts departement...

BTW, I bought a BIMMER '07, 550i series, 360 horsepower!!
Navigation and comfort package, with maintenance and warranty till 2011.
Just AWSOME!! with 27,000 miles and much more class, quality and reliabilty than the Lexus. Best of all Classic BMW is by far SUPERIOR than Sewell Lexus.
Price: $ 33,000 out the door at 5.5 % financing. Vengeance is sweet!

My advice to whomever wants to buy a luxury car is: don't settle for crumbs, demand COMPLETE SATISFACTION.

My BMW was purchased at Passport Motors in Dallas, TX not at Classic BMW in Plano. However, the car will be maintained and service( free of charge )at Classic since it has two years left on the warranty.
