Socal Dealership Recommendations.

tbonesteak · 07-13-2009, 07:36 PM

Hey Guys,

Can anyone recommend a legit dealership? I've been to about 5 and they are all garbage. The salesmen dont even know that the 370 has a 3.7 liter engine. They think it's still the 3.5. They also don't know what a synchro revmatch is. They don't believe that the sports pkge is available on base models. I would like a knowledgeable dealer that'll hook me up for invoice+500 max and won't go on joyrides with my car upon delivery. Can anyone chime in? Thank you.

I would contact Gilbert Fierros. He is the Fleet Manager there. Also you can contact Mark Ranauro. He is the General Manager. They work as a team. PM me if you need more information.

Dude.. FYI

Sales reps are not automotive engineers. Besides, they aren't driving your future purchase, you are. So who cares if they don't know every bell and whistle? Try dealing with the internet fleet manager FIRST... ON THE PHONE... so you don't waste time.

Personally, I go to where I'm treated like a king (which has nothing to do with technical know-how most of the time). My sticker priced money went to OC Nissan in Garden Grove (Ask for Lucky).

Good luck.

That Scott guy at Fontana Nissan seems pretty cool.

Scott@FontanaNissan · 07-15-2009, 08:02 PM

ahem...don't forget handsome

OMGWTFBBQ · 07-15-2009, 08:11 PM

Fontana Nissan seems legit.

Ask for Cherie at OC Nissan Irvine.
Ask for Trish, Toni, or Tommy at OC Nissan Garden Grove.
Ask for Gilbert at Connell Nissan. (I bought my PW 370z from him)

Listed in order of favorites as far as people I've personally dealt with and highly recommend during my vehicle purchasing process.

Trish is very nice at OC Nissan Garden Grove. That I can personally account for. Not to mention she's pretty darn cute.
