Default Moving to Orange County, CA (Good Car Dealerships Contacts?)

I am finally making the move to Orange County, CA from NJ in the next couple of months (Huntington Beach/Newport Beach area). I'm excited and change is often for the better. I need your advice on which car dealerships and a good sales contact you would recommend since I probably will not transport my vehicles to CA and just sell them and buy in CA.

1. Lexus Dealership in the area and good sales contact? Possible upcoming GS350 or GS460
2. Toyota Dealership in the area and good sales contact? Possible Sienna or 4Runner
3. BMW Dealership in the area and good sales contact? Possible upcoming 535i
4. Chevy / GMC Dealership in the area and good sales contact? Possible Tahoe or Yukon.

Will need a family vehicle first for 3 kids (trying to avoid the practical minivan and go with a full size SUV and then in the near future my own vehicle (sport sedan).

Thanks again for your help in this matter!

For Lexus contact Peter Kong at Lexus of Glendale 818.507.1300

They are in Los Angeles county, north of Orange County but they will flatbed the car to your house for free if you don't want to drive.

*They are a vendor here so make sure you mention Club Lexus for special pricing.*

And welcome to California, warm weather year round awaits you!

Thanks again for your quick response and welcoming me to CA! I can do warm weather all year round and I don't need it to be snowing during Christmas.

I have heard of this Dealership often in this great forum, any specific name over there to ask for? Man I wish I knew someone that owned a car dealership and could hook me up! HA! Thanks again for the referral.

Man - it looks like I am getting talked into a more practical vehicle when I get to CA for the family. Minivan?! Honda Odyssey or Toyota Sienna.

No snow. Just rain. Snow just seems more Christmas-like but rain, although not a cakewalk, is still better driving condition than snow.

As for Odyssey vs Sienna, my pick would be the Sienna.

The Sienna is definitely growing on me! I hear the new 2007 will have more HP with the 3.5 Liter enginer they are using in the other Toyotas already. This will make it more attractive.
