South County Lexus

South-County-Lexus

South County Lexus

If you’re in the market for a Lexus, whether you plan to lease or finance, take advantage of the a.m.azing specials on the most popular models and save on your next Lexus.

You’ll find the best diagnostic and repair services in Orange County are at South County Lexus. Did you know we have more Lexus Master Certified Technicians than any other local Lexus dealer? What this means is you will have a highly skilled technician working on your Lexus vehicle regardless of the level of difficulty of the work being performed. Visit South County Lexus, where you’re treated like family.

Whether you’re looking for enhanced capability, the added performance of F Sport accessories, or just want to add your own personal touch, you’ll find something special for every Lexus model. Every item is designed and tested by our engineers for a precise fit and finish, and back by the full Lexus Warranty.

Confidence commands its own category. Introducing L/Certified by Lexus, a collection of hand-selected pre-owned vehicles that stand apart. From an unlimited-mileage vehicle warranty up to six years to financing and leasing offers designed to make driving a Lexus a reality, it’s time to experience all the luxury and benefits new Lexus drivers enjoy. Choose to own confidence. Choose L/Certified, exclusively at your Lexus dealer.

HAND SELECTED
Not all pre-owned Lexus vehicles are worthy of the coveted L/Certified By Lexus designation – only the best. If a model is older than six years or driven for more than 70,000 miles, it’s immediately rejected. No exceptions.

HISTORY CHECKED
For extra peace of mind, CARFAX® vehicle history reports are provided for every L/Certified By Lexus Vehicle, helping you and your Lexus dealer identify potential problems that might otherwise be difficult to detect.

COMPLIMENTARY SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE PROGRAM
Owners of L/Certified by Lexus vehicles also enjoy pre-paid maintenance benefits. Each L/Certified vehicle includes factory recommended maintenance for 2 years or 20,000 miles, whichever occurs first [1]. The complimentary scheduled maintenance program gives you the peace of mind to enjoy your L/Certified vehicle and keep it running like it should.

METICULOUSLY INSPECTED
Every Lexus Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle must pass a comprehensive 161-point inspection by a Lexus-trained technician. If any discovered flaws cannot be repaired to Lexus standards, the vehicle will simply not be certified.

THOROUGHLY RECONDITIONED
L/Certified By Lexus Vehicles must be in like-new condition. That means using only certified Lexus parts for any necessary mechanical repairs, performing paint and surface restorations to meet Lexus standards, and thoroughly cleaning and detailing each vehicle to bring out its true beauty.

CONFIDENTLY BACKED
Because every L/Certified by Lexus Vehicle undergoes a comprehensive 161 point inspection, we can comfortably sell them with an unlimited mileage vehicle warranty up to 6 years.

NEW-VEHICLE FINANCING
Our strict certification standards eliminate the risks typically associated with financing pre-owned vehicles, allowing us to offer the same rates and terms normally reserved for our new vehicles.

LEXUS CUSTOMER-CARE BENEFITS
Those who acquire a L/Certified By Lexus Vehicle also enjoy the perks of Lexus ownership, including 24-hour Roadside Assistance [3], trip interruption coverage and dealership amenities including a Lexus loaner car for qualifying repairs.
