Default Where to buy in So. Calif?

Greetings!

I'm getting close to buying a 225 TT Coupe, hopefully in the next 3-4 weeks. Does anyone in the LA/Orange/San Diego areas have any recommendations for particular dealers? I've visited Newport Auto Center and Commonwealth Audi which are both in Orange County. I haven't had any serious discussions about price yet.

Also, can I realistically expect to buy below MSRP? If so, how much?

Thanks!

Kirk

I had a great experience with Rusnak in Pasadena. I paid sticker last Nov. Ask for Manfried.

I had a wonderful experience at Beverly Hills Audi. Ask for Dean. He's great.

I got a 225 Coupe about a month ago. Seems most dealers are willing to sell under MSRP with some prodding. Call around and shop prices from the various dealers; Westlake, Keyes, Pacific and Newport were all willing to go under MSRP. I eventually bought from Newport, though I would have definitely gotten a better price had I been willing to get it another day (possibly from elsewhere).

I don't think Dean is still there unfortunately.

Default You had a great experience with Rusnak in Pasadena?

Those guys wouldn't give me the time of day when I went in there to look. It wasn't until after I'd bought my coupe from Keyes in Van Nuys and went back to check out the 18" after-market wheels they had on a display roadster that they noticed I was even alive.

Even then, I had to say something cute like, "I really like this TT roadster." SALESMAN: "Uh-huh". ME: "Yeah, I was thinking of buying a sister for my coupe. You know, to complete the set." SALESMAN: "Oh! How can I help you today?"

Sorry ... I wouldn't recommend Rusnak unless you feel the need to strip naked and pee on the showroom floor just to get some attention.

PS: Keyes in Van Nuys has been great, from purchase to service. I can't say enough nice things about them.
