i talked to glendale, aneheim, penske, beverly hills, long beach, rusnak arcadia, fletcher jones(dont go there) and house of imports. i ordered my car from house of imports, theyre supposedly giving me the best deal. talk to mark newton and tell him that thomas, (the guy who ordered a white/ash c320) sent you. pm me, maybe we can get a better deal

I've had excellent luck with Laguna Niguel, both in sales & service.

Ditto (ask for John Maxwell). Although their parts counter is the worst I've dealt with.

It's best to buy from the closest dealer to take advantage of customer percs, parts discounts, free car washes, etc... Use carsdirect.com to get a ballpark price to pay.

Don't go to Fletcher Jones.. They don't give much discount.. I got mine there only because I want the free lifetime car wash and I don't want to drive 30 minutes to the 2nd cloest dealer near me.
