Best dealership in So. Cal to buy from?

I've searched and not turned up any current threads on dealerships, so sorry in advance if I just haven't looked in the right place.

My wife wants to get a new 2015 Paceman S, and we'd like to know where to find the best price. I bought a Clubman back in 2010 at Southbay Mini and got a great hassle-free deal from Amanda. I think I read she has moved on from there, though. Is Southbay still giving good deals? Any recommendations for an advisor there? Or are there better deals to be had at other dealerships? Can I expect to pay less than MSRP these days? Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

I have been talking with a salesman (motoring advisor? Nah, they are salesmen!) from Camarillo today, and have gotten a pretty good price from him. I've asked a salesman at Universal to beat the price, and he says Camarillo is known for their bait and switch tactics. Of course I never believe what salesmen tell me, so it's good to hear your recommendation of Camarillo, MarioKart. Thanks!

We purchased two Minis this year and they both came down to Alexander Mini (Kim Scholz) or Mini of Valencia. Ultimately both sales went to Kim.

I've had great service from MINI of Ontario. Bought both of my Clubmans there, even though I drive past several other dealers to get there.
