Good salesmen at auto dealers...

Just wondering if anyone has had good experiences with salesmen at like Lexus, BMW, Acura dealers locally? Looking at something in one of those makes and would be easier if someone had a reference of who to talk to so I dont have to go through the BS. Other dealers too I guess if they have similar cars. Looking at Acura TL, BMW 330, Lexus IS or similar cars.

Thanks in advance...

Weren't you going to move back to the mainland? The land of little to no crazy markup? I'm guessing you're asking on behalf of a friend.

I worked at the Lexus dealership for nearly 5 years. I know the good guys from the crumbs. PM me if you want details.

okie dokie...you asked for it...

at BMW see Curtis Fujimura, tell him jayson sent you...VERY VERY cool guy...bought 2 of my bmw's from him...

at Mercedes, see Han Lee...another pretty cool guy...again, tell him i sent you...worked real hard at getting me a good deal on a C32 and E55 when i was looking...and my auntie bought her E430 from him...

dunno anybody at lexus, BUT i do know of a cool guy at the Lexus pre-owned center...see Aaron Feinstein...very cool guy, and was real easy to talk to...i made an offer of low 40's for the red Z06 they have out front, but manager wouldnt go for it...he also remembered me when i went to go look at the silver porsche out front...

at the Porsche dealership, i forgot the guy's name, but he was a younger local white (or white mix) guy...VERY cool...another guy who's cool was a Darryl (i think his last name was Lee)...didnt pass judgement when i was asking about the used porsche turbo...

with all of these guys, i showed up in shorts and a t-shirt...they all helped me out, and didnt pass any judgement...

i know chevy's arent on your list, but just in case: forget JN chevrolet, dave was a cool salesguy, but the managers there are all idiots...instead go and see Conrad Chinen at Servco Wahaiawa...bought my blazer from him and he's setting up the *possible* purchase of my 04 Z06...tell him i sent you...

Cool! Many thanks. Just seeing whats out there now in the range and all. Will most likely wait til mainland of course and see whats there, but just want to do some pre-shopping now.

So you still driving the M3? Or you sell it?

still got it dave...havent really advertised it, as i'm still not sure of what i want...and if the trade in value is too low, i'll just keep it...

the 04 z06 will be here soon, but the pictures of the next gen vette look great...i'm still debating whether or not to get the current z06 or wait for the 06 Z06, which is rumored to have 500hp and 500ft-lbs of torque...

laterz...

I bought my car from him, and my parents did too. My kind of salesman - didn't blow any smoke up my ***, just handed me the keys and allowed me to make my own decision.
