Dealer Recommendation

Hi all, I think your responses to my request will have to be by PM per the forums rules.

I'm looking for a recommendation on a dealership that forum members have used who is used to dealing with customers remotely, and knows their way around a PCD (I typically prefer not to set foot in physical dealerships). Someone I can work with long term. I'm working on my 6th purchase since 2013 and I do not shop other brands.

For a number of reasons, it looks like my long term relationship with my current dealer out in California may be coming to an end (I'm based in Florida).

I want someone reliable, timely, and someone I will not have to spend a lot of time arguing pricing with to get a fair deal.

Thanks for your suggestions!

"(I typically prefer not to set foot in physical dealerships)".. .. I can certainly understand that!!!

I just came from two different brands of car dealerships...I gave the first salesman his card back and walked out on him. The second dealership was a completely different story. I too dislike physically going to dealerships but cars change faster than I go through them so it pays to go see/touch/smell and then I buy via the internet.

That said, I will PM you with a dealer in PA that has been very fair with me over the years.

Many thanks Marty! Yeah while I wouldn't exaggerate and call up a root canal, I would rather sit through a one hour dental scaling and cleaning than sit in a dealership haggling. With all the misdirection plays, and numerous trips to the back office to consult the grand wizard.

This name was floated on the site for a while and I ordered my car from him in Atlanta. Took all of 5 minutes and a few emails. Very simple and professional process. It may not be the absolute best deal out there but was good enough considering... And significant cheaper than where I had shopped for the past 20 years.
