Ian - 29 Jul 2005 03:16 GMT Does anyone have any past relations with Florida dealers ?
I have heard bad stories about Kessler Auto Group in Miami and read some good feedback on Prestige in Ocala.
Can anyone recommend a dealer that has served them well ? I of course am willing to travel anywhere in the state.
Cheers,
Ian

You mean you don't dig the Adult Toy Store, or whatever the f.ck it's called, as much as I do? I mean, where else can you see so many repossessed Columbian drug kingpin (and Luther Campbell's and Master P's) Gallardos and Mercies, AMG slickees, Hummers and other Shitwagens, fake Cobras, Conti GTs and their Chrysler brethren, wrecker 355s, 360s and 430s, and RR/BMW Phantoms that you could gather up enough blow from the carpets to fuel a five mile line of scuzzy Cuban and Puerto Rican hookers? Enough 24" spinners and neon tubing to market your own line of faux flying saucers and make enough to buy even more of the choicies?
Are you absurd, man? Any time I am dreaming about Tony Montana, pit bulls, mountains of coke, Excaliburs with zebra print seat covers, greasy midgets carrying leopard pattern MP-5s and brown girls with pimpled zeppelins for breasts and all four cheeks, I know I'm in MIAMI, bro!
(As a bonus, if you find anything Ricky Williams drove there's bound to be a few fine-a.s spliffs under the driver's seat and maybe a nice glass bong in the trunk.)
You don't know how to live. For shame.

But I sure do love the phrase "Depredation Central"! Perhaps if I was a sleazeball I'd head down to Scottsdale and start up Depredation Southwest. A lot more money than sense down there, though I'm sure Dallas and Houston also qualify, maybe even Taos.
My roommate saw a Mercedes SLR there yesterday. Though it's not his favorite car, as he is a Ferrari man, he did say it screamed beautifully.
FORZA MICHAEL! FORZA FERRARI!

As for Florida dealerships, all I can suggest is to be very thorough in the PPI so you know the truth about the car and its value regardless of what the dealer says about it. If he says they just did the 30k service but there's not a single wrench mark on the bolts or smear in the dust on the engine they didn't do sh.t. My favorite dealer slight-of-hand is "just serviced" and while the car had a service 2000 miles ago it also happened to be seven years ago... Watch for that one as it seems to be popular...

It was one of those races that would have been a W with last years rules. 23 laps, fresh tyres, repeat. Bridgestone just hasn't cracked the code.
Fun race though. Friggin' hot both days but well worth the trip to see it.
Here's looking to 2006!

Not as awful in person as in the pictures. The best part was the F1 passes (seven of them on the windscreen) to the Hungaroring issued to "Mr E."
I didn't make the journey in such luxury, I took a Skoda.

WhiteZin2000 - 30 Jul 2005 17:40 GMT The Collection (http://www.thecollection.com/) in Coral Gables (South Miami) is where I bought from. Over-priced on a used Ferrari but after after presenting my only offer (which was about $15,000 less than their asking price) they took me up on it :) I suspect this kind of flexibility only exists on used Ferrari's and not the newer models.

But google says Miami is risky. This guy even has an ongoing fued. I guess it is the Kessler thing that someone mentioned
