Revin9k · 08-03-2008, 01:07 AM

Hey all..

My cousin is lookin for a new 335i (auto trans. close to invoice pricing) in the so cal area. She had a terrible experience at the Valencia dealership..so can anyone recommend a good dealership thats straight forward and honest?

Thanks in advance!

I just went through the process of working with several dealers in Orange county ... Irvine BMW, Sterling, Crevier. I wound up working with Irivine BMW to make my purchase primarily because I felt they were on the level and I was able to get a good deal.

I had a good purchase experience with Robert Dixon at South Bay BMW.

I spoke with Will before my purchase and he was very helpful. If he had a car in stock I would have gone with hi. My Crevier experience was very pleasant.

I had a very pleasant experience with the Internet Sales Manager Henry Suh @ New Century.

cbattle · 08-06-2008, 01:38 PM

I too, spoke/emailed with Will from Long Beach before making my purchase, and I have nothing but good things to say about him. He's got a really good grasp of what folks are looking for with internet sales (and it shows based on his rapport with the folks who use this site). He's up front, fair, and responsive. He was the first of the dealers I solicited for quotes to respond (within a couple of hours, despite it being late at night), his quote was fair from the git-go, and he didn't play games.

Though I purchased from my local dealer (see my previous post in this thread), and I am completely happy with that experience as well, I must admit that geographic covenience played the major role in my decision to continue shopping around after talking to Will. Out of the numerous dealerships that I contacted (and there were many), Will and my local CA were the only guys I would have bought from. Competitiveness of quotes aside (though they had the best quotes as well), they both were just the easiest to deal with.

I just bought my 08 335i e90 from Henry Suh at New Century in Alhambra, Ca.

By far, the easiest auto purchase I have ever made.

Henry was the quickest to get back to me and the ONLY one (out of about 5 CA's) that immediately sent me the exact quote with all the deatils - NO GAMES!

I was pretty quick with you too, man, and I had the exact car, and I sent you all the details in PDF format...

Go with Will - you won't be disappointed. I picked up a car from him last month. Very easy, in and out in an hour.

positiveions · 08-12-2008, 04:06 PM

WILL @ LONG BEACH. I just talked to him today about E92 M3. I will give him a chance.

Mike Sisco at Cunningham BMW. Great price and they stuck to it when they delayed my order (through some unfortunate situations) by a week. Picking it up tomorrow. Just tell them Joseph w/ the 335 sent you.

You might also want to try Scott Munson at Encinitas BMW.

Kyosho · 08-12-2008, 04:38 PM

New Century or Pacific BMW in Glendale.
Stay away from Crevier
