Soont to be Newbie

cclcal · 05-10-2005, 10:37 PM

Looking to purchase A8L
Read some fishy things about Riverside Audi. But they do have a Silver/blk with 1049 miles, VIN 8022 for 60K. Any suggestions, go for it? Stay away?

Miramar Audi in San Diego were rude. I'm in San Diego, Calif.

Still looking for that car.

Walter's is a pretty standup dealer. Audi sales service is a bit lacking, but not unethical. Their service department is decent.

Walters is a dealer for Mercedez, Porsche and Audi - unfortuately Audi tends to be a bit of a poor cousin.

I meant the one in NJ.
Yeah I've spoken to Walter's Audi in Riverside, CA.
They seem decent.

CCLCAL - did you see my response to you below with details on my car? My car has a few more miles (right around 2,000) but it was extremely well cared for - not a demo as I fear the dealer car you are looking at is/was.

But, it is in NY which is not the most convenient. However, the guy who bought my M5 lives in SF and he had no difficulties trucking the car. I have in fact had 2 buyers truck cars they bought from me across country with no problems.

If you are not interested, good luck.

I actually got my car from Miramar a couple of weeks ago. The salesman that helped me was Frank Martin who seemed like a stand up guy. I can't speak for anyone else there however. I knew about the reviews for the dealership and they came out pretty bad but its pretty close to me.

Since you're in San Diego why not try Hoehn in Carlsbad. Haven't heard any complaints about them. They seem to have pretty good customer service. Plus all these dealers are all connected so you can get that car shipped to you without putting extra mileage on the car.

Thanks for the info. I was going to go up to Hoehn sometime this week. Did you buy the 05 off the showroom floor?

No, they had a Black on Black but I'm not a big fan of dark colored cars so they looked to see if there were any Platinum Beiges in the area. Turns out there was one west of the Rockies so only took them a couple of days to get it.
