Yet another story about posh car dealerships comes from the OC Register which reports on a $65 million new Lexus dealership which is said to be one of the most expensive car dealerships in U.S. history. The new Lexus dealership is located down the street from Fletcher Jones Motorcars, the nation’s largest dealer of Mercedes-Benz. The amenities are pretty sweet in both places. The Fletcher Jones dealership has a valet, the Newport Lexus dealer will have a service concierge. Fletcher Jones has a Starbuck’s and the Lexus dealer will have a Wolfgang Puck Café. There are also entertainment options including large TVs and a putting green. I’m not quite sure why they need this in the O.C. but there will be a year-round fire in a cozy fireplace at the Lexus dealer. A BMW dealership in Santa Ana also a Diedrich Coffee shop and is building a $31.5 million showroom that will include iPod stations and individual televisions at every seat and a barbershop that will offer haircuts. All this might actually make going to have your car serviced a fun trip rather than a chore.
