    OK, been here for about a year- deciding- watching prices- missed them cheap, saw them go up, finally back down so I struck!

    I went to many different dealers and had all sorts of offers on my used car as well- so my head spun.

    I know from here, Dinanne is the one to go to- but a dealer is a dealer I figured. She's gonna try to take me for all I'm worth like the rest of them. In the end I went to Dianne to see if she could beat the great deals I had on the table- and she did!

    Not only was the out the door price better than the best deal I had offered- but it was easy. No pressure- no sales. I was driving home and I realized she didn't even ask me if I wanted extra warranty, undercoating or any of that crap they usually waste your time with.

    I was really impressed with how easy she made this.

    I'd really recommend going to Dianne. And yes, I would read these praises on here and roll my eyes- but glad I finally decided to see what the praise was about.

    Dianne is indeed awesome, and it was a pleasure meeting her! She makes the car buying experience painless, she's honest, and she has the best deals in So. Cal (trust me on this as I've spent 3 months shopping for the best deal). Thanks Dianne for my brand new Blizzard White Pearl Prius!

    Yep, she is the best... I drove my 2002 Prius to trade in for the 2004 I have now (I think it came in on the Second Boat).... and drove... you see I am from Texas... I put 1300 miles on my new baby the first two days... it was fun passing Big Rigs on the hills ;)

    I got a good deal... and I brought Chocolate and a Teddy Bear from Build a Bear... I wonder if she still has that bear...

    If I remember correctly I am not the only Texan to Buy from her that year

    I wish times were better and I could order a Plug in Prius from her.. but I don't work were I did and only make 1/4 an hour I did :(

    Hi Perry! YES I still have that lil bear! He's my buddy! And, sadly, the chocolate adjusted south to my hips etc (LOL) but I remember you so very fondly. :) Or, as the facebookers type hearts: <3
