Good dealer in South/Central Texas?

Has anyone had a great experience at any dealer in the south/central Texas region? I live in San Antonio and we have the Gunn "one simple price" dealer here. The problem is their pricing is BS and way too high, and they "DO NOT" negotiate. So I'll simply take my business to Austin or Houston, but just wanted to check and see if there were any recommendations first.

Any feedback or points of contact would be greatly appreciated

I negotiated with four Texas dealers for over a month and the best deal that I could get was 9% off MSRP at Grubbs in Euless. Did the deal yesterday.

Clear Lake Infiniti in Houston gave me $2000 under MSRP and lots of extras (tint, maintenance, mats, wheel locks, illuminated sills, etc.) back in September when nobody was doing much dealing. I'm sure it's way better now. Call Dave Ward at 713 589-4000. A very laid back, no pressure, no BS kind of sales guy. Good luck and let us know what you end up getting.

I talked to Dave Friday. He said he's dealing. Ask for him and tell him Jeremy sent you.

Dave will do whatever you want without any pressure. He'll probably try to hook you up with a few freebies too. He's an older laid back Californian surfer type dude. An awesome guy to deal with. PM me if you want dealership or salesman feedback or details.

If you buy before next weekend, come to the Houston meet: https://www.myg37.com/forums/upcoming-events/179081-houston-tx-meet-april-13-a.html

I'm still waiting to see what I should do. Trading in my 2007 GS350 after 8 months of purchase is making me take a lot of hit losing money. Plus, dealers wont give me at below invoice or even invoice. They all say $500-$1000 over invoice for loaded out G37S.

Why do you want out of the GS350? It seems like a great car. And 500 to 1000 over invoice is a great deal IMO.

The GS350 is way too "daddy" to me. Everyone says it looks like I drove my dad's luxury sedan out. That's why I wanted something that suit me better. I love the tech in the Infiniti's (9.3GB music storage, NavTraffic, Bird-View, CompactFlash, iPhone connection, paddle shift....on top of what my Lexus already has like push button start, backup camera, touch-screen navigation.

Well the technology in the G is second to none without a doubt. Good luck in your quest.
