Park Ave Sales Staff
Can someone please reccomend to me a good salesperson over at Park Ave Acura? I've searched the board, and I hear good things overall about the dealership, but haven't found anything reccomending a specific sales associate.
I'm looking to trade my '01 330ci for one of the last 6spd CL's :'(
I figure I'll get the least screwed on the trade from a dealer that actually might want the car to sell (since Park Ave also sells bmw's) than from a dealer that will just send it to auction.
I'm lookin' at WRX's as well, but it would probably be tough to go from a 330ci to a rex....

I bought two Acura's from Troy Dawson before he moved to Park Avenue from Wayne Acura. He was upfront and easy to deal with. He treated me fairly on the MDX (which was a bitch to get when they first came out) and the TL-S (which was one of the first batch the dealer received).

a 330ci for a cls 6mt? why?. Nothing against the cls6mt but you're talking about very similar performance...with good weather driving ability going to the 330ci because of the rwd. I'd rethink this if I were you.

oh, there's NOTHING at all bad about the bmw. I will cry a river when I have to give her up. It is the most perfect car I have ever owned. Like car and driver said, it "pours itself down back roads like liquid poetry."
It's just that it's time to trade a nice car for an even nicer house. I can knock a couple hundred bucks off my car payment by going with a CL-S. It's purely a cost saving measure.
Before the BMW I had a 87 5 speed legend coupe, a 92 5 speed legend coupe, and my beautiful pearl green 94 6 speed legend coupe. The acuras are nice and I'm familiar with them so it will be like going back home again....but the bmw was just soooooooooo nice. i'm sure i'll like the CL-S but as soon as I get some mortgage paid off in 2 or 3 years, it might be M3 time.

Sounds to me like he has already done his research and is making an informed decision. He is asking for our help to refer him to a good salesperson. If you can't help this guy or say anything constructive, at least don't bash him for making his desicion and go find a 350Z forum to spend your time on.

I went to a training class up in Boston for a week and I swear that every other car was a BMW in the parking garage. ...and about half of 'em were silver

The CLS is a great value. Good luck in your search in finding one of the last ones.

Exactly, there's nothing wrong with going from the 330 to the CLS6MT. Here in Vancouver, if you go to Richmond ( AKA Honger place), every 16 yr old and their mom's drive BMW's, Mercedes, Audis and TL(s)'s. BUT, it's rare to even see one CL-S on the street, and that my friend is a better feeling. Sure the BMW probably is a better ride ~ 10K more, but the luxury is still on par as well i think the CL-S 6MT has better performance (this is debatable)...and i know how you feel - when you have a woman or a house , it's better to get a bigger/better house and pay it off then get a nicer car later, while at the same time still driving a nice car, yet have a lower monthly payment. I'm in the same boat as you. Good luck!

One of the reasons (not the main one..though...)I went with the CL-S 6speed in Dec 2002 was that I didnt see hardly any of them around and I liked that. Seems like the 3** series has become like the Chevy Cavalier of upscale cars. DISCLAIMER: This does not in any way constitute the beginning of a BMW bash thread.
