Title: Dealer experiences on bike purchases
Post by: zLoki on May 31, 2012, 12:18:28 AM
Hey guys,

In the market for a new monster (796abs most likely) and I was wondering what kind of experiences you've all had with dealers in SoCal, LA and OC?  any suggestions or comments welcome...

Aaron at Ducati Newport Beach is good to deal with. Stay away from Del Amo.

Chad at Ducati Newport is a great guy. He'll take care of you.

Agreed.  I worked with him as well on my Monster 796.  Pleasure to deal with and communicates quickly via email as well.  I have a long running Gmail chain with him where I'll shoot him questions if I have any problems.  He'll answer within a day (if it's not a weekend or Monday when they're closed).

They also have a good/clean shop.  Just had a minor spill on the I-5 a couple of weeks ago and they just finished repairing the bike.  Adrian is very knowledgeable in service.  And Justin from parts is always willing to give discounts.

They are a high volume Ducati dealer, so you should be able to get a good price since they move a lot of units.

Just finished my second purchase with Aaron and Ducati NB and it was as easy as it gets. Priced via email, deposit over phone within and hour, pickup a day later. No pressure from him, no pressure from finance guy to buy extra stuff.

It would help if they still produced them. I finally found a nice used one and the seller thought it was a good idea to ride it prior to closing the deal. Of course he crashed it that day.
