Lied to about Trade-in UPDATE: 7/20/19 Matt Schaefer went above and beyond to work things out. I really appreciate his time and effort, and look forward to doing busines UPDATE: 7/20/19 Matt Schaefer went above and beyond to work things out. I really appreciate his time and effort, and look forward to doing business with him, his team, and Lexus Escondido the next time I need a new vehicle! I traded in a 2016 Lexus about two and a half weeks ago. During the process I was informed by Sam Hajjiri that my trade-in value would be reduced because of damage reported on the Carfax report. Sam claimed that the damage would prevent Lexus Escondido from certifying the vehicle and I took his word for it. I was aware of the damage. The vehicle was backed into in a driveway and repaired by Allstate through their Good Hands Repair Network. I was not aware that the damage would prevent Lexus from certifying the vehicle. I relied on information from Sam and accepted a lower trade-in value because of it. About a week and a half later the Lexus I traded-in is listed for sale as a Lexus Certified Pre-Owned vehicle. Shocking, I know! Looking back, there's no doubt in my mind that Sam knew all along the vehicle would be certified. He had no problem lying to my face and then tried to blame his used car manager for "somehow" passing the vehicle as CPO. Matt Schaefer (General Manager) and Ian Jaffe (Sales Manager) are both aware of my complaint and have done nothing to resolve it. I will never do business with Lexus Escondido again, and would not recommend them to anyone. I'd encourage anyone thinking about trading in a vehicle to Lexus Escondido to strongly consider an online car buying service. More
Crystal Doroliat was an excellent salesperson Crystal Doroliat was my salesperson. She was able to help me understand a problem I was having with a version of the initial SUV I was interested in Crystal Doroliat was my salesperson. She was able to help me understand a problem I was having with a version of the initial SUV I was interested in and quickly provided me feedback for a different version which solved my problem. She further showed her knowledge of the products by quickly providing me with answers to my many technical questions. When I was ready to make my final selection, she had the vehicle waiting for me to test drive when I arrived. After the test drive I was ready to purchase it. A very enjoyable experience with a knowledgeable salesperson. More

They came in with the lowest price out of any Lexus dealer in the So Cal area. Process from beginning to end was smooth and finance was a breeze. More

Deceptive car advertising Do not buy a 2019 Lexus ES350 F Sport from this dealership or any other in the United States. Their much advertised Lexus Safety System+ 2.0 is a fr Do not buy a 2019 Lexus ES350 F Sport from this dealership or any other in the United States. Their much advertised Lexus Safety System+ 2.0 is a fraud on this car model. (“Consumer fraud occurs when a product or service does not perform as advertised”.) The “Road Sign Assist” does not work no matter what you do. Lexus so called “Technology Specialist” and Lexus engineers are unable to fix the problem as of January 9, 2019. I bought a 2019 brand new one for over $50,000 on November 14. 2018 and the system has not worked from day one, even that Lexus advertisement shows a photo showing a red stop sign on the head up. Nice photo shop Lexus. I have been in contact with the Lexus dealership and Lexus Head Quarters since I found out the system just does not work, and all I have gotten is a run around. On January 10, 2019 I received a call from Lexus Escondido Technology Specialist telling me that the 2019 ES350 F Sport they sold me does not have the “Road Sign Assist” I paid for, even that Lexus advertise it does and all my paper work on the car says it does. If this is not fraud, I don’t know what is. I will now file a complaint with the California Consumer Protection Agency and the Federal Trade Commission about the deceptive car advertising Lexus is doing. More

I called to hopefully get an answer on how to set up my Pandora Radio and was forwarded to Patricia Kelly. She suggested that she would be in my city (Temecula) two days later and would either come to my house or meet me. We met in town and she fixed my problem. This is definitely "Customer Service" at its best. This is why I go to this Dealership. Thank You! More

Blatantly lied to! Unfair dealership. NEVER BUY, LEASE, OR MAKE ANY DEALS WITH THIS DEALERSHIP, THEY ARE UNFAIR & LIARS! If zero stars where possible that's exactly what I would rate th NEVER BUY, LEASE, OR MAKE ANY DEALS WITH THIS DEALERSHIP, THEY ARE UNFAIR & LIARS! If zero stars where possible that's exactly what I would rate this dealership. I have been blatantly lied to and been treated unfairly at Lexus of Escondido. I contacted the dealership to see what their best deal was for them to roll over my excess miles onto the new lease. I sent them over a deal that Lexus of San Diego was offering me and wanted to see if they could beat that price. I worked the deal with Karen MacKichan and the entire 2 hours that we sat down and talked about the deal I constantly repeated over and over that the overages of miles were going to be included in the deal, and she agreed. I had a witness with me the day the deal was made and i drove off with a $460 monthly payment that was suppose to include the overages of miles. A month later I get a letter in the mail from Lexus Financial Services stating that I owe them $3,200!! I called Karen right away and made her aware that I had received this letter, she calmly told me that it might take them a month or so to notice that the miles where rolled over to the new lease. So, I called Lexus financial and made them aware that I had got into a new lease and the mile overages where rolled over to the new lease. Now in October I get a 3rd letter stating that I owe them for mile overages. I contacted Karen AGAIN and this time she said that her or her manager Matt Schaffer do not have ANYTHING on file stating that the deal made was to roll over the miles. Now they want me to pay $3,200 in mile overages and then they left me with a HUGE monthly payment of $460!! on a Lexus IS300 where I could have gotten a much better deal somewhere else like Lexus of San Diego where I had purchased my first Lexus. I would not recommend anyone not friends, family, or even people I do not like to this dealership as they are fraudulent business people along with liars. I will be seeking legal help in this matter and will not settle for this unfairness. More
