Texas Dealers?

Hi everyone,

I live in West Texas which is a good 5-6 hours from the closest dealer. I've visited the place in Plano and San Antonio. Also visited the dealer in Scottsdale AZ, but that might be a bit far for service...

Does anyone have any recommendations for an outstanding dealership?

Thanks!
John

before moving to Austin, i gave all my business -sales/service - to Autobahn in ft. worth. I purchased several cars over the years from boardwalk and park place but found I like autobahn much better. it's smaller and I got to know the folks there. they get a thumbs up from me. Their shop foreman Jeff K. is the very knowledgeable

Thanks, I have never checked with them. I have only look at boardwalk... That would save me about an hour of driving...

See ya,
John

I've never made it to Autobahn, but have bought 3 PCars from Park Place and always been very satisfied with them from all aspects. I've come close to buying from Boardwalk, but they always seemed to be trying screw me on both ends of the deal (trade and new), whereas PP ALWAYS came back with more competitive offers.

Given your location, I'd try Autobahn first, then PP. I suspect PP has better selection, but you never know what you might find...

I live in Colorado and found my 08 TT at Autobahn in Ft. Worth via cars.com. I had to trade a 08 C4S. We basically exchanged two or three emails and put together a deal in less than an hour subject to a clean DME report and visual inspection. I drove down in two days, dropped off my car, the title and a check and drove the Turbo home. Easiest deal I've ever done. No bulls$it and I couldn't be happier. Charles and Mike will take good care of you.

I guess I'll just have to keep checking inventory. So far, only Boardwalk has the car that's close... I have a couple of months before I want to make the purchase...

See ya,
