Default Anybody have a good so cal dealer reference?

So I'm looking to buy an S4, and I'm wondering if anyone knows a good dealer who will offer a decent price on a new S4. The dealers around me are tough to negotiate with... I'd like a good price without excessive bartering/BS.

Any help would be appreciated.

Jeff Ho over at Hoehn Audi in Carlsbad is great I went to him for my S4. Super easy to talk to and negotiate with. He will keep u updated on your order, and always returned my emails/calls in minutes. Never pressured me into anyhting and is the most knowledgeable dealer I have ever worked with, he always has an answer for you. He is an Audi enthusiast himself he got 2012 S4 right after mine was delivered in September.

Thanks for the recommendation. I will give him a call.

I worked with Brian Hutchison over at Audi Mission Viejo. He was the only guy at the time (December 2010) that would work with me over the phone AND offer me a killer deal off the bat. Great guy, easy to work with, and does what he says he'll do. With the other SoCal dealerships, I either got the run-around or mediocre offers.

I live in Newport and I ended up driving to Rusnak in Pasadena and dealt with Paula. She works in their Internet department and is a straight shooter.

I bought mine a few weeks ago from Keyes Audi in Van Nuys. They claim to be the largest Audi dealership in the nation. Buying my car from them was relatively painless and I feel I was treated fairly. No high pressure sales tactics or anything and they had at least 7 S4's on the lot to choose from.

So ballpark... What kind of pricing are you guys getting (vs invoice). I was thinking of sending mass emails that offer $1000 over invoice. Is this reasonable? If I hear "Oh we don't sell the ____ for under MSRP!!!" one more time I think I'll projectile vomit on the spot!

And thanks for the replies.

I did not pay $1000 over invoice, but definitely paid under MSRP.

I had a very good experience with Ryan Shipton at Pacific Audi in Torrance.
