Michael Melikian did a wonderful job finding a perfect pre-owned, low mileage car for me.

wasted my time lookinng at a porsche cayenne Cannot find a good thing to say about this place. Their collection of cars are like super old and been on their lot for a long time. Except they wont Cannot find a good thing to say about this place. Their collection of cars are like super old and been on their lot for a long time. Except they wont budge on price. Their quote is less than the usual 8% off msrp just like other dealership and they expect you NOT TO BARTER with them. Mind you I was buying an SUV, not an over priced GTRS. The sales manager was super rude and doesnt have problem with calling me out for bartering a porsche. This is how America works, people have the right to haggle for car. These people act like they selling louis vuitton stuff but it is just 6 months old SUVs crowding their inventory. By the way i came in knowing which car i want, they act like i was just wasting their time and what not. I went to another dealership for a better deal instead. More

ghost town dealership with dead cricket pricing This dealership is in the middle of no where desert that hardly attracts any customer. When i was there, it was dead empty on a Saturday. Anyway l This dealership is in the middle of no where desert that hardly attracts any customer. When i was there, it was dead empty on a Saturday. Anyway long story short, i came in, took a while to be greeted by a human sales person. Good thing I spend like 20 minutes walking around the dealership to find the car i wanted ALL BY MYSELF. Finally i walked into the dealership, waited some more for a human being to greet me. Asked me how can they help ? - well they sure did help me plenty by letting me look for my own car by my own self. I told him the car i was interested in, took him a while to find it in his stupid surface tablet/laptop. This is after i told him model, msrp price, color and where it was parked on the lot. He typed up a price sheet, let his manager gave me the quote and mysteriously add some dealer options like stargard and vinyl protectors. i told him i dont want neither. he said its already on the car. i told him then take it off. then he just said okay nvm let (him) adjust the price quote. after like 3 different times back and forth, then he got the right price from his sales manager.But that is not the worse part. After getting the price correct, i told him how much i was willing to pay. The guy then chuckled at the price i gave back, i told him okay let me walk. The guy got scared and told me to sit down and wait ( i guess i am a dog at this point). His manager came out, NEVER INTRODUCED HIMSELF, sit down, stare at the price sheet he quoted like he never seen it before which is very weird cause i thought he printed it out himself. He then made some awkward joke, then ask for my job like i am a homeless person who walked into his dealership. He then lectured me with condescending tone about how i should not be popping into his dealership trying to negotiate pricing on a porsche. I stood up and left. It was a total waste of time. Later on at home i googled the dealership to find out who the sales manager was- christian ames - must be a job not important enough to introduce yourself to customers. Moral of the story, avoid this dealer at all cost. More

Cocky Car Sales Manager The is an old fashion car dealership. It caters to old people with old money to blow on a car that they going to drive for like 2 years and "trade in" The is an old fashion car dealership. It caters to old people with old money to blow on a car that they going to drive for like 2 years and "trade in" for another one. This is how this car sales manager operates by the way. After browsing for a car spec list that I want, I found out that this dealership has it. In another word, i did all my research and this dealership did nothing for me other than just having the configuration I want. I came in, told them I want. They told me the price they wanted, i told them what i am willing to pay. They got all offended that i would actually barter for a porsche. The car sales manager then came out and act like his time is being wasted by me. I left and found a better deal on identical configuration I wanted at another dealership. At this day and age where people do all their research online and basically track down product they want via the magic of the internet, there is no use for car salesman. Too bad as a brand porsche doesnt see this sad fact. Tesla is very good at recognizing this and is able to capitalized on this. This dealership caters to old people who cant use the internet and the sales manager basically price his car accordingly to this behavior. My advise, dont waste your time here! More
