OT: any reccomendations for LA area MB dealers/ salesmen?

Going to be buying a MB in the Los Angeles area and was wondering if anyone has a recommended dealer and sales person they work with?

Thanks!

Well the Sales Mgr and Service Mgr at WI Simonson in Santa Monica are friends of mine so I'm partial to them. I just refer people, I don't say "give him a deal" etc. I can, however, ask the Sales Mgr to assign a sales associate to you. That puts you on the map in a good way and then I can go in, check on it and see how it's going. PM if you want the intro. Just so you know, Simonson is a small store, so that has advantages and drawbacks. I like it that way though, the experience is more personal and genuine.

I should note the Simonson is the number nine M-B dealer in the U.S. based on sales volume. Lots of AMG's. They have a good culture in place on the sales floor that makes it a nice place to stop in, look around and have a chat. And maybe buy a new car...
