Smile New E55 From Fletcher Jones

I just brought my 06 E55 home. Steve Howard at Fletcher Jones in Newport Beach, Ca. is the man! When the car we were initially working on wasn't quite right, he really gave me a screaming deal on a Alabaster White car with Pano premium package, lighting, keyless, parktronic, navigation, trunk closer, & chrome wheels. I can't stop grinning! I'll post pics as soon as it stops raining outside!
If you're in Calif. & looking, call Steve Howard

Glad to hear that you had a positive experience at Fletcher Jones. I most certainly wouldn't do business with them ever again in life. For me, its all about Laguna Niguel, but to each his own.

Yes, please do take pics as we have nearly identical beasts. Did you get Distronic?

Congrats on the new ride! What was wrong with the other car???

Also, what does FJ have left on the lot? My father in law is thinking about getting one.

I'm there for service on my SL55 tomorrow. If I have a chance I'll take a look.

I didn't get Distronic or Sirius. I think the experience at a dealership starts with the salesperson. I just happened to get a good one.

I could tell you a horror story about Southbay in Torrance, but by blowing me off, they actually did me a favor!

The other car was a silver one & when we agreed on the deal, it turned out to be a brand new 05 that somehow got stuck in their inventory. They didn't catch it until the deal got into finance, so they had to back track. Since they didn't have another 06 silver, they did a screaming deal & put me into this 06 white one!

Wow sounds like you got one hell of a deal. Any mods planned?

Manny Molina took great care of us at Laguna Niguel. Awesome experience as well.
Could also be the USC connection. The wife's dad and Manny were fraternity brothers. Either way the deal was easy as pie.

I would like to get an ECU reprogram & pulley, but I have to see how it will affect the warranty first. I have a 01 Porsche 996 Cabrio that I started mods on & I know it can become an addiction fast!

USC is the shiznit haha. Laguna Nigel is quite the dealership I must say. Everything from their inventory down to their service is top notch. No hassle dealership and finely cared for automobiles makes it a lovely place to go hang out sometimes and just test drive away.
