Can anyone recommend a SoCal dealer to order my 1?

David9962000 · 11-28-2009, 11:51 AM

I'm looking for a friendly dealer that won't play games? What kind of discount can I expect? $1000 off?

I want to order a 128 Sport, manual.

Thanks.

I recommend this guy: Mike (Internet sales guy) at Center BMW in Sherman Oaks...make sure to ask for this guy specifically. He's younger and pretty cool..no b.s.

runNgun · 11-28-2009, 11:37 PM

I agree about Mike Kellison, he is a good guy. I ordered my 135 from him last year. However he is now over at Century West BMW's internet sales. His number is 818-432-5896. If you talk to him, tell him James said hi.

Monrovia BMW. They will give you a fair price. Dont go to New century or BMW santa monica.They will try to rip you off over there.

SpaceG135i · 11-29-2009, 02:30 AM

Definitely Go to Rusnak in Sherman Oaks, Ask for Beshoy, I got my 135i pretty much fully loaded including navi,premium,m sport, and a little more for just under 40, Very Well worth it

+1 they tried to pull the old good cop bad cop on me and i walked out

AdmiralAdama · 08-04-2010, 02:21 PM

any new thoughts on this? Im thinking of just sending out email blasts to internet or fleet managers in SoCal...but if anyone's got any better ideas...

derekL · 08-04-2010, 04:43 PM

Shelly BMW? I didn't order mine, but the sales was pretty chill. He told me that he had an integra like i did, but im not sure i believed that. Still chill nonetheless.

Armada · 08-04-2010, 11:09 PM

I faxed out my offer to dealerships within 100 miles. One bit on it saying I had that exact car. They pulled a bait and switch when I got there, I almost walked out but they took my original deal. This was at Brecht BMW. That salesman that I dealer with got fired a month later. Send your offer out, takes time and a little effort but worth it in the long run.

sb335is · 08-05-2010, 09:53 PM

call up fleet managers. best deals are through them. dont fuck around with salesmen

I ordered my car from Mike too! Didn't know he's no longer at Center BMW.

For those who goto Center BMW for service, who's your SA?

I ordered mine from the fleet manager at South Bay BMW. This is the third BMW that I have ordered from him. I have a 128i on order now that will be in the first week of September. I paid $1000 over invoice. Say hello to Steve for me.

Henry Suh at New Century BMW was very easy and professional to work with and gave me the best price i could find. very quick.

coldnate · 10-09-2010, 01:55 AM

Order from me. Autonation has a low price GUARANTEE.

I am a sales PROFESSIONAL. Not a salesperson. No BS, simple and easy, and I take care of you after the purchase just as well as before it.

Based off this thread I found Mike Kellison. He is no longer working for BMW, he has branched off and started his own company.

I ordered my 1 through him about 3-weeks ago. He basically shops around all the BMW dealers in So Cal for you and finds the best deal for you. So far so good.

GOLFFRR · 10-15-2010, 06:36 PM

a Lot of great dealers in CA to pick from. I suggest contacting all of them in a 50 mile radius and see who quotes out the best price. GL

Shelly BMW in Buena Park sucks! the techs are lazy and don't care about your car.Very shady and untrustworthy.
