Kuni actually owns 3 other dealerships in Colorado - Kuni Lexus, Burt Kuni Honda, and Lexus of Colorado Springs (corporate office is based on Vancouver, WA). We have 12 dealerships including smart center Denver and smart center Portland which are both stand alone franchises - designed to meet all your smart needs! See our website at www.kuniauto.com for more details.

My bad, got bad info from another thread. Of course Kuni is in Colorado all ready. Good luck on the smart dealership! And I know if they don't end up buying a smart, you'll be sure to direct your potential customer to another fine Kuni dealership!

MicroNut, what humor you have! I'm still LOL. I doubt that poor, not I mean unfortunate, Lexus salesman will never get it about the smart. "Open his mind", I doubt it, though he probably needs it. Cooties. That really describes the distain.

Now when I told them my plan was to drive the vehicle in the area of the Northwest on vacation it didn't matter to Jerome (customer service) since they knew my physical address was here, and they wouldn't sell it to me until either I move south to a state that has an area dealership or they find someone to establish a dealership here. Thanks

Bernie,

I wouldn't worry about it. With a 1333 reservation number, you would not receive your car until 2009, regardless of your location. By then, the dealarship issue will probably be taken care of.



Please ignore: BMX already adequately responded to Bernie.

We don't know that they aren't going to get into the 1300s this year. Anything can happen.

I can only hope that living in this mass populous of DC means that my 1352 will scrape in sometime this year
