The best dealership experience I ever had thanks to Keath Min.<br>He made it easy as possible, and all I had to do was sign papers and drive away.

We negotiated everything over the phone and Keath made his promise without changing his word when I went in to sign papers. IMO every other salesguy is a crook except one exception, Keath!<br><br>I've dealt with horrible dealerships such as Mckenna, I've also tried Pacific, Shelly, and Cutter, but New Century is the place to go.<br><br>I had an existing lease that no other dealership wanted to assist me in turning it him, however, Keath made it easy for me. I probably got the best deal on my X3, since every other dealership quoted me $40-80 more monthly on a lease. To me this was a no brainer on the choice. My best advice to you is to shop around, but if you want the best deal without the haggle I'd recommend Keath at New Century.<br><br>It may seem like I'm biting his balls, but it's no joke how much he went out of his way to help me into a new lease although I've never even met the guy or dealt with New Century before.

I would definitely recommend this dealership if you're looking into buying a new BMW. They got me the greatest price and didn't invest very much time over the sale. My mom and I were both looking to get t looking into buying a new BMW. They got me the greatest price and didn't invest very much time over the sale. My mom and I were both looking to get the X3 and we basically just sent Peter, the Internet Sales Manager, our specs and he found our cars at another dealership and we had our cars within a week. My mom dealed with him directly through email until the say we went to pick them up. <br><br>Peter spent a good 2 hours with me talking about my new car's features and everything that BMW had to offer. My mom and I paid about 40200 for 2 X3's with MSRP 's about 44400. <br><br>The service department is another issue... More

I'm a very busy person and I was in need of a new car. I knew that I wanted a 525i, so I decided to stop at New Century BMW on my way to work. As soon as I stepped in the the lobby, a manager introduced me knew that I wanted a 525i, so I decided to stop at New Century BMW on my way to work. As soon as I stepped in the the lobby, a manager introduced me to Chris. I explained to Chris what I was looking for, completed the application for finance and went on my way to work. I did not spend more than fifteen minutes at the dealer.<br><br>While at work Chris worked the numbers and finance. Two hours later he called me and scheduled me to go in later that afternoon for signing. My wife and I spent no more than twenty minutes that afternoon. The BMW that I wanted (vehicle color and options) was not available, so Chris located one at another dealer. The next day Chris delivered My BMW to my home and took the time to go over all the features and details of the new vehicle. I received the vehicle I wanted along with a good deal - Hassle Free - True Service! More

It is absolutely amazing how these sales representatives operate. Most of them conduct business in a manner totally unacceptable in the American industry. Somebody has got to tell them, and I hope they re operate. Most of them conduct business in a manner totally unacceptable in the American industry. Somebody has got to tell them, and I hope they read this review, that this is NOT China. <br><br>I have noticed and talked to other people that share the same views. If you do not meet the charateristics of a Chinese person, don't even attempt doing business with them because you will be disappointed and very upset. You will be treated like an outsider and will make you feel as if you are considering a vehicle beyond your financial means. <br><br>I recently purchased my car from them and I must say that they worked with me on the price. However, I only came back to them because they made me an offer hard to refuse. Otherwise, I would have taken my business elsewhere. <br><br>In summary, would I recommend you doing business with them? Probably NOT! If your primary objective is to get the best deal in town, by all means. Give them a shot. Otherwise, stay at armslength from them. <br><br>P.S. I was bribed to score them high on the assessment from HQ. It is that bad and they do realize it.<br><br>Email for further details at jgbeltran28@aol.com. More

my car had some humming sound from the engine when driving at freeway speed, so i left my car to the dealership for a check-up. the first 2 times was no result even they changed the drive-shaft, so i driving at freeway speed, so i left my car to the dealership for a check-up. the first 2 times was no result even they changed the drive-shaft, so i left my car there for the third time. this time they have the german engineer to check this up, he did debug the problem, it's the differential that has problem, but that guy refused to replace or repair it, by the way, he's an asshole. so my service rep, yvette, returned the car to me and told me she couldn't do anything if that guy told them not to repair it, because he's sort of like the rep from germany who's in charge of the service dep't. of course i was not happy about that. until sometime later, my car had some other problem, so i took it to the dealership again, and this time, ken, he's the supervisor of the ncbmw service dep't, he helped me talk to that german asshole, and successfully persuaded him to replace the differential for my car. may be ken's the supervisor, so he has more bargaining power than other service reps has. next time, if you have any difficult problem that your service rep couldn't help, find ken, he's able to help you out. even now i've sold my car, but the overall experience i had with the service reps was pretty good, they were nice, and they were able to give me a loaner or an enterprise car. it's just that they're too busy, too many people go there for service.

I went to New Century BMW last weekend to look for a new car because I saw the rating for this dealership is the highest. What a major disappointment. The first salesperson, Anthony, is arrogant and annoy car because I saw the rating for this dealership is the highest. What a major disappointment. The first salesperson, Anthony, is arrogant and annoying. I ask for another salesperson because I know this salesperson definitely won't provide the friendliness I was expecting to receive(4.0). The second salesperson is much freindlier but the price negotiation is tough. After we finished negotiating, the finance manager is another pain in the butt. He (I wish i could remember his name) also is very inconsiderate to me. I mentioned that the final amount (monthly payment) is not what we agree upon (about $.5 difference) and made some criticism and suggestion. I basically tell him that it is better to disclose that information before customer mentions to him. Then he claims that I was the first customer to ever complain about that issue. What an inconsiderate statement he made. Anyway, I would never go to this dealership ever again. Very horrible experiences. More

When I first called New Century BMW last year, I was looking to lease because I saw the ad for one of the BMW special lease offers. Tim answered the phone, and during the phone conversation, he looked looking to lease because I saw the ad for one of the BMW special lease offers. Tim answered the phone, and during the phone conversation, he looked for the car I wanted and he said they didn't have it, but he could trade with another dealer. He gave me a great price (I shopped several dealers), and I ended up buying instead of leasing. I found him to be a very straightforward guy--compare with the McKenna salesperson in my other review. But what impressed me the most is that he spent 15 minutes of his time selling me the car, and after the car was already sold, during delivery he spent more than one hour with my wife and me, explaining the car features, talking about the car, BMW, and his dealership. This shows me that he cares even after the sale has been made. My first service is coming up and I'm going to see how the service is over there even though they are 30 miles away, and there are 5 other BMW dealers closer to me.<br><br>There was no hard sales at any time. I was never even asked if I had a trade-in. The finance department didn't try to sell me anything either. <br> More
