I hate Assael...I hate Assael...

I feel better now.

I live in Altadena, and I really wanted to buy at Assael. I like to support my local area whenever I can. They lied to my face, and treated me like an idiot.

Call every dealer in LA and negotiate. I got mine through Crevier and I only paid 500 over MSRP to order an MCS. That was in May of 02 when you could hardly find one.

If you call around you can pay less than it would cost you to fly out of state and drive one back. I doubt you can find one in LA for MSRP though, other than Long Beach. But Long Beach will make you wait.

I was very happy with Crevier. No pressure, no BS, very helpful. The exact opposite of Assael.

Good luck, and go with the Mini!
