Default Miami MSRP Dealer

Has anyone purchased a S2000 from Oscar Infante or anyone else at Braman Honda in Miami, FL ??? If so, please tell me how they treated you and if you would buy from them again. I am about to give them a deposit.
Please let me know what's up.
thanks.

hey buddy, i just searched braman honda online and it says that in their inventory the only 2002 S2k that they have is YELLOW, they even give a vin number... I FIND THAT HARD TO BELIEVE HOWEVER...
i never purchased from them, so sorry that i can't answer your question, but i too am wondering the same thing (if the dealer is good and how good is that sales rep cause his name and dealership as you've obviously seen appear on this forum)
i was at coral springs honda today and their sticker said 38k+ for an 01 model s2k and the guy dropped it ALL THE WAY DOWN TO 33,500.
so you can always go their if you want an 01' model.

Based on the experience of several of our members with Braman's service department, I wouldn't give them my money for a new car purchase. Here's one link (scroll down to Sondra S2K's message) https://www.s2ki.com/forums/showthread.php?...ht=Braman+Honda

Coral Springs Honda treated me right (but my salesman is gone). Tommy - I'll share with you that I purchased my MY 2000 for MSRP + 388 at CSAM, so I bet that you can do better than the price they quoted you if you're not in a rush. I also recommend that either of you contact Brad (sales manager) at Largo Honda (Key Largo). It's worth the drive; he is a straight shooter and one of the nicest people to deal with in South Florida when it comes to Honda sales. I bought my '89 Si Hatchback from them and had my '00 S2k on order with them until the Coral Springs deal came up several months before my car was due in.

hey joshua...
i heard many good things about CSAM and my best friend purchased his civic their and his accord and his parents both got their hondas from them as well... so they migh be doing something right.
only thing that pisses me off is the one time i brought my father in to see the car, (i'm 19) we got the DUMBEST sales rep. ever.
the guy didn't even know the rear tires are wider than the front.
he had NO idea about what the hardtop was, no clue about what the underbody kit was that i was asking for etc...
and the price they had on their s2k's was rediculous.
sure he went down from 38k to like 33k very quickly... but they definitely woulda looked better in my book had they priced the s2k for 34k and said they'll go down to 33 or 32. it tends to look a bit fishy and rediculous when the dealer tells you 38 and in ten minutes of barely haggling they drop 5 grand off EASY!
i called BRAMAN honda today and the sales rep OSCAR said their getting a yellow one in around mid NOVEMBER and they got the vin and everything and the cas sticker is 100 more than last year... he said 33,800 or 32,800... something like that, i don't even remember. THAT INCLUDES DESTINATION CHARGES HE SAID.
THE ONLY reason i might think CSAM might be better to shop with, IS NOT BECAUSE one person claimed that BRAMAN honda tried screwing him over... I'M SURE EVERY DEALER TRIES THAT, but only a few customer ACTUALLY CATCH ON, but because CSAM is owned by ONE family and JOSHUA as you might have seen, they own almost entire ATLANTIC BLVD. LOL
so i'm sure they get first dibs on the very first s2ks.
i just hate that my sales guy was a moron. i was their 3 times and they had such knowledgeable people that new as much as we here know about the new s2000's and then i land on this DORK when i bring my father their.
I GUESS I'LL TRY THEM AGAIN, THROUGH SOMEONE ELSE.
my question to you joshua is,
DO YOU THINK IT'S REALLY NECCASSARY TO PUT DOWN A DEPOSIT?
i know when i got my 99tl it was freshly new and they were sold right when they got in for the first month or two.
is this gonna be the same thing?

Tommy, the night Braman tried to d!ck with me, I had the pleasure of going to a party with my friend who lives there in Miami. I mentioned what Braman was trying to do, and the party turned into a bashfest on Braman FAST. Don't underestimate how many people those freaks have tried to screw over!
