I'm new to forum and have checked archives and FAQ...but no stuff :-(<br>Anybody know of a good dealer that won't snob a very young buyer seriously looking to own a '99 1.8TQMS? Just want a good deal (don't we all) and a nice buying experience (don't want to get eaten alive by the salesman). TIA.

Mark White at Audi of Van Nuys. He is the General Sales Manager. I ordered a car from him in July and he was really honest, no games, always kept me up to date on the status of my car in production and made the purchase smooth and flawless...even though I live over 1000 miles away in Washington State!<p>He is a really great guy. Several others on the forum have gone to him in recent months after problems with other dealers. He WILL actively search for the car YOU want in other dealers' inventory if he doesn't have it. I would stay away from Commonwealth, have heard bad things.<p>Let him know that Kirk from Seattle sent you, he'll get a kick out of it. 818-785-7111 is his phone number.<p>Kirk<br>picking up my 99 A4 2.8Qtip on Saturday after it's long flatbed trip from So Cal...and accessorizing.<p>

I went to Beverly Hills Porsche/Audi. They treated me very well...talk to Vadim, he's a great guy and was not pushy or harassing in any way. I managed to get 5% over invoice. Also try Rusnak as some of the guys there aren't bad either. Just don't go to McKenna, as most will tell you they are punks.

Check out the guys at Circle Imports in Long Beach...they're great guys, and they won't give you much trash. Honest, straight forward, they'll tell you exactly what they can do and what they can't...<br>got a great deal from them back in June on a 98.5 2.8<p>DON'T go to Rusnak Pasadena...complete and utter jerks, all of them.<br>

While most of the people at Rusnak are jerks, Jennifer is pretty cool, and I bought my car from her. Circle Imports is not bad I hear...<p>Albert

I will second the comments about Circle Audi. I bought a 98 A6q, last Nov. Buying experience good, service has been great. Go see Rainer Stiller; he's the fleet mgr. He can deal, most salesmen can't!<br>Cheers<br>Pat

otherwise known as Newport Auto Center. Ask for Rob Desantis. He's a nice guy and will make you a fair deal.<p>
