I got my Lexus...

...check! We test drove a GS300 a few months back. A friend of my wife's bought two, yes...TWO Lexus's and used our name as a referral. It took about a month, but we finally got our nice little $200 referral check. Thanks Lexus! I'm still buying the Infiniti though

So what's the cut for the friends who provided your name? You're not going to stiff them are you?

I agree with noblert, take this some where else. Its pathetic as it is you sit there and pride on how reliable your Benz is then come in here and talk about your $200 lexus check. Its really a simple concept JIM, Benz talk on this forum, lexus and inifnit on another. I hope I simplified it for you enough.

BenzOwner02 (a.k.a. - BANNED benzC240), since I was test driving the GS300 (we also drove an E320 that same day), as a replacement for my very reliable C240, WHICH WE ONLY PLANNED TO KEEP FOR TWO YEARS WHEN WE BOUGHT IT, it is on topic, jerk
If you were a "regular" around here, instead of a Johnny-come-lately-Benz-basher, you'd remember my post about this.
Had my wife's friend bought a couple of MB's, I'd still have asked her to mention our name for a similar referral "thank you" check (common at most car dealers). Although I'm sure you'd have some stupid remark for that too.

So what's the cut for the friends who provided your name?
Are you serious? A woman walks in and buys two Lexus's with CASH money, and you think she wants, or would even accept anything from a friend for simply mentioning that friends name as why she chose to buy from that particular dealership?

If she's that flush with cash and doesn't need it - I'll take her cut - how about $100?

3 words for JIM, excuses, excuses and excuses. Mr. sell out cannot deal with it. Hey, just remember, why get so defensive, you are buying another car because your car is so RELIABLE. righttttttttttt Sure, we all believe you. Coming in late, coming in early, coming in after you BS everyone means nothing. The cold hard fact is that you are a sell out and use 20 excuses to make up for selling your car. Can this guy stoop any lower in this forum? take the 200 dollars and disappear will you.

Who ever benzc240 is, what has he done to JIM? Seems like Jim is paranoid from this guy.

BTW, I am no regular here like you, but at least I am no sell out
