Default Looking for Decent SoCal Dealers for 2011 S5

I've been lurking here for a while waiting for my Infiniti lease to run its course. I moved from Acura to Infiniti and now I'm hoping to graduate to the German autobahn where there seems to be less plastic and more passion. I'm ready to pull the trigger and order my 2011 S5 coupe. Any recommendations on southern California dealers? I'm not looking for games or melodrama. I just want to place my order, get a commission number and a written commitment on reasonable price (say $1500 over invoice). Thanks guys!

Often times it's difficult to get both excellent service and a great price. I used the American Express car buying service and got a very good price, but the service was definitely not what I was used to. I bought an A8 from Ryan Beavers at Mission Viejo Audi, and his service was top notch. However, his dealership was not willing to deal on the S5 this past springtime so I opted to buy elsewhere. Give him a call and tell him Lawrence referred you over. Maybe they have loosened up a bit when it comes to pricing.

Try Solomon at Audi of Downtown LA. This is the 8th Audi our family has bought from him over the past decade. Service and prices can't be beat. I know it's rare, but he's an honest car salesman (as honest as a car salesmen can get)
Give him a call and tell him Marius sent you.

$1500 over invoice on a 2011 S5? Good luck with that.

I agree with Omeletpants, I think $1,500 over invoice on a 2011 will be pretty tough, maybe on a left over 2010. For a 2011, $2,000 over is what I would aim for. Good luck and have fun shopping for a S5.

I would do 2k or even $2500 over invoice on a 2011. I think that is a fair price. I just want to get that down in writing and not end up in a haggle-fest on delivery day. I hear that Keyes is shady in this way. Has anyone had any epxerience with them?

You talk like you have a choice of what you pay

Nope, I talk like I know how much I'm willing to pay.

Willing to pay and what you have to pay to buy the car may be 2 different things. Considering that you first said 1500 over, then 2000 over then 2500 over you really aren't sure what you are willing to pay?

Thanks guys, I'll give Solomon at Audi downtown a ring tomorrow. Hopefully we can make a deal. I appreciate your feedback.
