Alright so I am going to purchase my 335i Soon. Honestly I went to crevier and they told me to order my car and they don't negotiate. I just pay the MSRP.. now am I getting screwed? Because from what i'm reading, dealerships should be able to chip away at the price off MSRP. Only 30 minutes in there and they're already loading me full of shit with "We're the best in Southern California, what would it benefit us to discount people". I don't know, they seem a bit cock of their own name.
I've bought my E46 from Assael BMW.. or should I say. "Assshole BMW" Once you buy the car, it's all down hill. Their servicing takes two weeks to get an appointment thats always a terrible time. Then I went to New Century BMW in Alhambra, now honestly, appeal is a big thing for me. I like how Crevier is right off the 55 freeway with an easy flat - easy to get into dealership. I like modding my cars and I know in the future when I slam my 335i on some big wheels with a lowered kit, theres going to be some scraping going on.. so Crevier seems the easiest to get into. New Century was in a rather cheap looking area and a stupid place to get into. When I first arrived I was wondering "Why the hell is a BMW dealership around THIS area?". New Century seemed very nice to me, courteous in all aspects. They seemed to be able to give me a price but they said they'd give me a price when I'm finally ready to sit down and have a go at the final stages of my purchase. But he was definitely hinting that there would be a solid discount involved. I live in the Diamond Bar area, so flying to all these dealerships is a real pain in the ass at times, especially since they give you ridiculous times for service appointments. Even though Assael is closest, I refuse to buy from them again, but... Please give me some insight. From what I've read, it seems new Century would be the place to go but, in terms of overall service and getting in and out? Is it worth it? Or would Crevier be alright? |

Can you beat that because Crevier offering to me the same rate too.. irvine saleman said i can get u down to 5 percent at 6 years term and under 700 per month. sound good right? i drove there first he show me the car n drove it. feel good more roomie .. so far so good.i told him while testing driving it that my bro also work at shelly bmw . they are both owned by the same owner. so i figure i get good discount right? sound good. so he ran a credit check again. he saw my score was the best. so he came back n sat down with me . he told me well your score is not that good. YOu are getting 17 percent and with 2000 down and 1100 per month. i got mad and pissed off. i told u guys are lying to customer. and false advertise to comsumer.

I told him that one reason i went n give u guys a chance because my brother work for the company. He told me i would get good deal out of it in the car and over the phone. in front of everyon in that office. I also told them I can see now how you guys treat family memeber in a company. This is outragious and false advertise. i got mad drove home extremely upset. I called my old dealership .. talk to my saleman .about how he can help me out. i kinda bs a little bit. i told well creiver give me 7.99 at 670 per month with 2000 down. n 6 year loan. i told him if u can give me similar deal n plus my trading car. ( upside down for like 4K). i will take it. he called me like 3 hrs later. he also told me come down in. i told him i dont like bs or play around .. he knew who i am ..i m his return customer. The last time he play me around . he sat in his office for liek 5 hrs to make a sale to me.lol. ok .. i also told him i want that this t-silver with no pacakge n stick shift. for this price. i will take it.. i drove down there. i told him i want 37000 n same rate n monthly payment. i will take it. after sitting down for like 2 hrs. he said i have deal. lol i told him that i want t-silver car from IRvine Bmw dealership to deliver to me at New Century BMW. by the end of the day. I also told him . i work tomorrow. Unless he will loan me a bmw car from NEw century BMW. lol He got me wat i want it. lol I basically got the car from the place that try to high jack me with price .. with the price i want it. i think Irvine got piss off. i guess they think they can sale for better price to a right person who really want it badly. |

For those of you wanting to pick up a 335i coupe soon...
I recommend Valencia BMW. Check out their inventory on-line here. They have three on the lot...including the loaded one I cancelled(picking up a different one next week!). Wait......here is the best part = click on "Get Your Online Price". Ask for Steven Sherwood or Robert Grass. No hidden fees, no games, they had the most competitive pricing from the get-go of all the dealers I contacted within 50 miles of L.A. I'll post a more comprehensive review after I pick up my car next week. Just wanted to share the info with my fellow Socal residents. |

I posted this somewhere else but I thought I would share it here.
Yesterday I was in Alhambra area having lunch with a client a block away from New Century BMW and decided to stop by and check out what they have to offer. We (my client and I) walked into the dealership and asked the receptionist to get us a sales person. She paged someone to come over. However, right at that moment this guy walked up to the receptionist counter and said that he would take care of this (talking about c-blocking other sales people). So I told him I want a quote on a 328i. He told me that he would have to run a credit check. I thought, "credit check for what?" So I asked him why he needed to check my credit. He told me that so he can tell me precisely what to quote me. I asked him if I am buying cash would I need the credit check. He told me yes - unless I don't want a precise quote. At that moment my client and I just looked at each other and walked out. What was that all about? I didn't dress poorly and I am not a young looking guy - so I didn't think I was putting out the "I-can't-afford-a-BMW" vibe. If another dealership could give me great quote over internet, why couldn't this guy do the same while I was standing right in front of him. I couldn't understand his attitude or logic. In any case, just want to share that story. This guy was an Asian (I think he was Chinese but I spoke English to him) and dark looking. Didn't bother to get his name but definitely someone to avoid. |

Experiencing such service yesterday, I went to Long Beach BMW and sat down with Will who has been helping me via e-mails and phone calls for the past two weeks. He got me a good price and great interest rate. The entire ordering process (for a 328i sedan) was painless and took about an hour. Now this is the kind of sales person I can recommend.

p.s. your "Drives: 328i on order (week 51)" is incorrect. Your car is a long time away if that was the case Try Week 21 |

Just bought my new 328i Sedan from the Internet Managers at Pacific BMW (Mark & Steve). Both have been excellent to work with and they provided me with an unbeatable price on the car. Highly recommended.

Crevier has advantages: 1. car wash - you dont want it anyway. you'll get swirls altho they claim it's hand wash 2. car storage and shuttle to airport (i dont trust it's ding-free storage) I say go to Irvine and talk to Kate, or Will at long beach. If you want more contacts PM me and i'll send you more contacts of all of the above dealerships i contacted. |

I had a great experience at Beverly Hills BMW. They got me the car I wanted, CA was very curteous and down to earth, threw in the floor mats, gave me multiple follow-up phone calls and emails. Even recommended a couple of SAs that he likes. Shoot me a PM if you want the SAs and CAs name.

Resurrecting this thread from the dead...
I'm looking for a good Service Advisor in the northern LA/SFV area. I previously used Manny at Valencia BMW (awesome) but he was promoted to a sister company and is no longer with BMW. Every time I went in for service, he would have a loaner available for me. I called around to several dealers (even Valencia) and now they all say they do not provide loaners for oil changes. Anyone know of a SA they can recommend at any of these dealers? Bob Smith Rusnak Valencia Center Steve Thomas Santa Monica Beverly Hills Pacific Thank you!
