Let me say this to start. I'm 25 and have had 9 vehicles, 2 motorcycles and a jet ski. So it would be safe assumption that I've seen them all with various sales people. (mostly asses)
About 2 1/2 months ago, I put a deposit on a fully loaded 225 Audi TT hard top, I was even getting it custom painted a color only a convertible comes in, gunmeatal grey(I don't like the TT convertibles) The sticker was about 42,000.
A friend of mine recommended I look at the honda about a month ago, so I made a bunch of calls to Honda dealers here in Southern California. The immediate appeal was the 9000.00 less sticker price A week later I went over to Santa Ana Honda, not even thinking of buying, just trying to burn a little time on a Saturday. I test drove one of the two silver/red stooks they got in two days before. (Let me just say that first drive was spiritual.) The short of the story is 2 hours later I drove off in S2000. Paying 2grand over sticker. Which by the way is the cheapest I could find in southern california. I would have to say if it were any other dealer, I probobaly wouldn't have bought it. My credit was not excellent and they got me a good interest rate. It was just a decent expierence. The guys name is Anthony, if anyone is curious. Everyone calls him Big A. Down to earth guy.

Good Luck
