I have always been a Mercedes man and was seriously looking at the new C Class as our company car. Literally stumbled across the Lexus dealership in Derby and fell for the new 220D ! I have seen the adverts etc and honestly thought the car looked too similar to perhaps Mazda/BMW etc, but after seeing it in the flesh, well needless to say i ordered one there on the spot. Being delivered 16th May with the standard fit, opting to have the Multimedia option fitted too. The main reason behind us choosing Lexus over a Merc, was in the main down the sales person in the showroom and the genuine warm welcome we recieved as we walked in, wearing jeans and trainers :crying: A big Merc no no.

We are going to keep the car for the 3 year term and if all goes well, looking to purchase a higher spec one at the end.

Found this forum to be fantastic too guys, very informative and friendly too. I am a member of the Ferrari forum (we all have our dreams) and trust i know that info you guys have on the Lexus range, will be most valuable.

Kindest of regards to all.

Hello & welcome to the club mate

what colour is your car??

Sorry, colour is Meza Red. Its just one of those colours that i always pick for my car.

See your Derby area too? What do you think of the dealership? I found them to be brilliant and am in the process or sending a letter to the Lexus UK HQ, asking them to send on thanks.

The main reason behind us choosing Lexus over a Merc, was in the main down the sales person in the showroom and the genuine warm welcome we recieved as we walked in, wearing jeans and trainers :crying: A big Merc no no.

I had the same response from Mercedes when I went in on Saturday. They saw my jeans and trainers and wrinkled their nose. Oh well, I took my 30k+ to Lexus instead. Oh well, Lexus are better made anyway. :)

LMAO, its a real shame though, because having owned 3 from new ranging from CLK to the new SLK, I love them !!!! They let you walk into the showroom in jeans and trainers when its time to get the thing serviced :blush:

But again you cant thank the Lexus guys enough, we were also given a bottle of champagne in a lexus wooden box (signifying a coffin? ) and have leant us a car for this coming weekend, because we got the delivery date wrong. Now you cant go wrong with that now can you ?

You see it's attention to detail and service like that that made me choose Lexus in the first place. I hear they are on target to get the number one spot in the 2008 JD Power survey too.
