Calling all 626 RX-8 owners!

Those with RX-8s, please respond to this thread as this would be a good contact list to refer to as time passes on, when there are more in the area.

I'm in the 626 area code and currently shopping for one. What dealers did you guys go to? And who is giving the best deals?

Thanks

626

I visit the 626 every week, but live in the 562. I got mine at Galpin, ask for Philip the Internet sales, got a great price on it, no hassle.

I second that, don't buy from Tustin, I talked to the Fleet manager there and he was quite pushy, and couldn't work below the sticker price less than $500 even after I visited in person. This was just 3 weeks ago, and when I called later that week telling him that I got an quote from Claremont and Galpin, he told me those quotes are impossible, and that I shouldn't waste my time coming back to their store. Guess what, I got my car at Galpin only because it was closer to me and I couldn't wait anymore, but Claremont FM quote was just as good.

It's true, different sales rep, different attitude. My experience was directly towards the FM/Internet Sales. I contacted about 19 dealerships in SoCal, and some of the more polite and helpful were the Irvine (Fung), Galpin (Philip), Claremont (Toreno), and even a sales rep in Norco was quite nice.

Interesting. So the guy at Galpin I named Jack I talked to in October isn't really the fleet/internet sales manager?

Did he lie to me? Or does Galpin have separate fleet and internet managers?

Personally I didn't go through a guy name Jack, since I have no idea who that is.... I only dealt with Philip and Ali <the Manager there> and that's about it. Both very accomadating, and heck, I was sent a tin cookie thing from the mail this week 1 week after purchasing the car. It doesn't hurt that it was included the the satisfactory card.. which I gave all high marks

Sounds about right. The moron didn't call me back for some info he said he would check up on. So I drove all the way over there and he was standing on the lot. Managers do not stand on the lot. I thought he was just catching a breather outside. I think he's a salesperson and lied to me. That Jack guy is a waste of human resources. He wouldn't go very low on the car and gave me his story of "you get what you pay for." Knucklehead. Seems to me, either way I get an RX8.
