My mom is looking to buy a brand new Toyota Corolla or Honda Civic. We're trying totake advantage of the promotional financing that is going around, since she has good credit. Does anyone have a reputable referral in the L.A. area? PM if you do. Thanks in advance!

 

for toyota, id suggest longo toyota (el monte) or toyota of glendale. both have pretty attentive salespeople, and the majority actually seem to care about helping people get into rides for a fair price. if you do choose toyota of glendale, "big joe" is the guy to hit up. he's helped us numerous times with great deals on cars....big time discounts on top of factory incentives.

as for honda, there's a honda dealership in alhambra that has a great selection of cars. one of my friends just got his civic (non si ) from there. he thoroughly enjoyed the buying process. he asked to have all the factory stuff done (tint, lowering springs, wing) the day he bought it, and it was all ready within a few hours from deposit to getting the keys.

best of luck!

 

Whoever you go to.. make sure you get the person who referred you a "birddog" or referral fee.

If you need any help or tips on buying let me know... I was in car sales and a car sales manager for a Toyota dealership in Texas for quite some time, but I got out of the game in 2008 to move here.
