I've dealt with all three. I have bought both of my new BMWs from BMW Bellevue, but shopped all three in '01 when I wanted to order a 330xi (I had to order because no sunroof...) 1) BMW Bellevue gave me a good price off the bat. Went to extra effort to find a good deal on my trade-in. Their service dept doesn't generally give loaners unless it's a warranty repair. Their counter/parts guys (and gal) are v.good, but they seem to go through many service advisors. Their advisors seem to have to deal with many assholes; might be the problem. Lot of MSFT guys/gals buy there (most of them aren't assholes, btw.) 2) BMW Seattle, I dealt with a frenchman; they were willing - finally - to meet the Bellevue price, but basically didn't seem interested in closing the deal. Service dept guys seemed really sharp when I had my '91 E34 in. 3) BMW Tacoma wasn't willing to deal on price at all. Wouldn't talk trade at all (at least at a price I wanted.) Wasn't impressed with them. They are the Mini dealer in the area, FWIW. Cheapest place was Yakima - they were another % or so cheaper, but the trade-in was a real problem. Also, there are a few mils less sales tax in Yakima. However, they don't have much inventory so they probably have to modify factory orders (takes 2 months, generally, to get a car that way.) I do not advise going to Portland - both of the dealers there are assholes. Floyd |
