I have always been a fan of Twitter, but I would never have imagines I would have bought a car using Twitter. Yes, three years after joining Twitter it led to me buying a car, well - leasing a new car. How can I lease a car via Twitter?
This morning, the Lexus dealership I ordered my two previous cars with tweeted a deal that caught my eye:
Payment Waiver Sales Event! LFS customers, waive up to six of your lease payments. http://tinyurl.com/ybxzz2n
Prestige Lexus

My current lease technically has 6 payments left, so I went over to their web site and clicked on the Live Chat button to make sure this was the real deal. I ended up talking with a guy name Steve who leased me my new car within 3 hours from the time I clicked on the URL in the tweet.
Technically, I was told I was their first sale via Twitter. What did that get me? Probably nothing - but at least I can go on record as saying I bought my car via Twitter.
The car should be here Monday and maybe I'll write about the car itself on my personal blog.
Update: On Thursday, May 13th, about two days since I picked up my new car, the dealership tweeted a thank you:
@rustybrick Mr. Schwartz, thanks for being our 1st Twitter sale! We appreciate your business & hope you enjoy your Lexus.
