Default Going to buy an xB in SF Bay Area: Dealer recommendations?

Hello,

Anyone have a favorite dealer to buy a Scion xB in the San Francisco Bay Area?

I don't think all are the same (price may be), but service is not.

Anyways.... looking forward to your recommendations.

for service (on the car), stevens creek would be your best bet.

sales on the other hand.. it varies. just make sure you know what you want to get beforehand, and make sure you're in control of the sale. that applies to anywhere you go.

but just shop around. i had a good experience in santa cruz.. and i'm always hanging out at stevens creek.

I gotten my tC from Ron Goode in Alameda. It's pretty much up to you where you want to get your Scion.

I agree... City Toyota's service center is small but the people there are cool. On the other hand, I just had a bad experience at Melody's Service center.

If you need financing, make sure you get it before you show up at the dealership. Toyota financial is ok, but I imagine you would get the best deal for financing by shopping around on the internet.

And there you have it!
All dealers have good/bad staff.
My recommendation is; print out what you want, or don't want, on your car from
the Scion web site. Go to the closest dealer and hand the print out to the
salesperson that seems the least offensive.
Tell them here's what I want... nothing more/less.
Good luck shopping

Whatever you do, just don't go to Toyota 101 in Redwood City. Not only was David (the scion guy) a slimey character, he didn't seem to care much when I told him a directional tire was mounted the wrong way on the RS3 xB they had out front.

Oh yah, SF Scion on Van Ness has this sales person there that's kinda hot in a Kobe Tai kinda way.

Toyota, has a great selection but there is no one around interested in selling there cars.

I was in and out of Steven's Creek Scion in about 45 minutes!! Probably the most painless car I ever purchased.

I'm a little late to this, but Stella at City Toyota in Daly City has treated me really well. She even got them to buff out where I got keyed!
