    Although it's not local, I'm partial to Bill Rogers Honda in Albany. Of course, if you're not interested in a Honda they're probably not for you.

    Had a shitty exp. with Beaverton Honda. It was back in the day though but they seemed like asshats (Bob Lamphere).

    Nissan Dealer near Beaverton Mall were pretty helpful. didn't buy from them. the BMW next door place sucked.

    I've had a good relationship with Jim Mannheimer at DeLon in Salem. He's been worth the trip.

    Cool thanks for the advice! I am just looking for an upgrade for my kids to be more safe. I do like Hondas! But that is really far to drive.

    I'll agree, but for a different reason. I've bought several new cars and Tonkin simply refuses to negotiate much. In the last 5 years I've bought 2 Ford F-150's, new, for under $12,000 (I negotiated for different people). All the Ford dealerships would negotiate except Tonkin. They were adamant I'd pay their full price or I could go away. I did. I also bought my wife a new Corolla recently (before the recall) and Vancouver Toyota was easy to negotiate with.

    One good way to negotiate of you;re weak of spine is to send emails to the dealerships telling them exactly what you want and what will they offer it for. Makes it easier.

    All car dealerships suck.

    Buy used and save yourself a huge chunk of $$.

    Buy used. Use Edmunds or Kelly bluebook as a thumb to negotiate a price.
    Don't forget to use carfax just in case.

    I have a good friend who is a GM in Bend. If you could take the drive, you could probably save a few $100
