"Dirty" Dave, ex mechanic, is a grouchy old codger (like me), and he knows all the car salesman's tricks, establish a bond, create urgency, cry about overhead, carp about the 3rd party mechanic, etc, BUT, that being said, Dave gave me the best deal in a hundred mile radius. I know because I checked out the situation with the car I wanted for two months on four internet sites. Dave sold me a very low miles BMW Z3, 1.9 that for it's age, was in stunningly good repair, at a price that matched or beat the private party sellers. A few cosmetic quibbles here and there but even the original rag-top was tight and clean. The damn thing even seems to have new tires!
The car just got another mechanical thumbs up from a BMW shop I took her to for a sticky gas gage, which turned out to be nothing.
5 stars because the bottom line is the deal I got from Dave for the car I wanted.
Also, as per the previous review, according to California law, the dealer must give the buyer an option to purchase a two day return policy. read more
