I have seen several discussions/drama (lol) regarding the whole service departments/techs at local dealerships, but what about an actual salesperson.
Anyone have someone that they would absolutely recommend?
Anyone that would perhaps take care of ppl involved with NGC and these forums maybe, or just a good person to deal with in general.

I would prefer Infiniti of Annapolis (IOA) as that is the closest to my house, Passport would work too since that is close to where I work right now.

So let's hear it... which salesperson/dealer should i give my business too? Thanks guys... would appreciate any advice.

 

We bought ours in Lisle, IL (Infinity of Lisle). Dealt with Steven Johnson. Absolutley a great experience with him and dealership (so far). I know they do out of state sales. If you decide you want to contact him mention Jim and Cindy sent you.

 

T anderson, from Jim Coleman's Infiniti of Bethesda is actually a member of our club and a real cool dude that hung out with us before, he might be able to work something out for you if you tell him that NGC sent ya

 

hello guys my name is Donnie Demby and I work over at Jim Coleman Infiniti In bethesda. T Anderson is a Great friend of mine but unfortunately he is no longer with the company. Iam new to the G35 Forum and I must say I luv it. Anyone thats looking for a great deal please dont hesitate to contact me 240-403-2096. thx again

gotta luv the NGC!

 

I bought mine from Jim Coleman, great experience. Much better than the dealership in Ellicott City

 

I know the GM (Lee Holt) down at IOA very well. ask for him & tell him Ralph Velez from Lexus of Annapolis sent you down. I used to work with him at Lexus when he was the used car manager.

 

your best bet is still to shop around. You won't know if the price you get is good until you get a couple of counter offers. If they can't offer lower price, ask for free option upgrade. Don't settle for "free oil change for a year" or whatever. That forces you to go back to that same dealer to redeem them (they may have a bad service department, so you don't want to be obligated to that service department in order to redeem your perks).

Tim Ellis at Passport in Alex. I bought my car from him from a referral . Very
patient . Will answer all your questions and answer them again . Good dude .
703 461-1500 . Good deal to !

 

Send out some emails.They will call you back .Do your homework.Shop around and you will get a good price .I got my car at JBA Ellicott city.I got a great deal and i was very happy.A lot of these salesman don't stick around long.None of mine are still there.The ones left are good though.Shop all the local ones though.

 

Maybe contact PatZX300 on this site. He posts up pretty often here and in the Members Only section and I believe is a parts guy at IOA. While he's not a salesman maybe he can refer you to a salesman that will take care of you and uphold his reputation. Good luck.

 

I used Dan Cheney @ Passport. My brother used him also, to lease an M35.

 

Great responses, thnx everyone. I'll def follow up on many of these. Thanks Ralph, i'll look into that and mention ur name.
Pratik, i was def thinkin the same thing with PATZX300, was going to PM him. Remember reading on here that he was the foreman of the service dept (i think terry said that).
I'm def gonna shop around tho, do my homework, etc when the time comes. That's for sure. Just wanted someone who others have had good expereince with.

Now the question is, should I go and drop a deposit on the coupe bfr the AutoShow starts... and bfr the line gets bigger (and then be bound to that dealership)
If I change my mind for some reason after the test drive, would be nice to get my money back. We'll see....
Thnx again all!

 

road trip up to NY to see me? only 4 1/2 hours away

 

Haha, yea Kenny... i'm comin up for the show April 13-15th, and will spend some time on Long Island, maybe swing past ur dealership if ur working that saturday? Was planning on PM'ing u.... sent

 

Kevin @ JBA sold me a car off of Jim Coleman's lot A LOT cheaper than what T would give me on the same car.... JBA has earned my business.

Bought 2 cars from Passport in Alexadria in the past, first was horrible and the 2nd was a make up deal by the manager at the time, Mike Walker (I think). If I ever walk into a dealership and see the guy who was at Passport when I bought my '04 Coupe (Rich something) I will immediately walk right back out. This guy had the nerve to cuss ME out for answering the stupid survery HONESTLY about his service- total slime ball that gives the industry its reputation. The NoVa dealerships seem to be pressure cookers, JBA was very laid back the night I was there. Its a shame is 90 min away though...
