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

I wouldn't buy any car, much, much less an exotic, from anyone,
anywhere, in Florida.

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAT???  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.

(C'mon, goddamnit - somebody come after me, will ya?  Call your lawyers,

erection.  DAYUM!)

I bought my 512 from Naples motorsports.  Fair deal, good car.

...Free with purchase of the even tackier Rolls Phantom, no doubt.

I know you don't think I was serious.  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!

Whoa! Somebody's reeling in the years...

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...

I thought he was running on fumes, but Kimi was lighter.  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!

Yep, Charles Manson Jr. was with me at both the Hungaroring and
Hockenheim with a side trip to Berlin thrown in for good measure.

Couldn't remember, had to look it up.  Pissed me off that I couldn't
remember the name of such a famous mess of a song.

Since we're car spotting, I saw Bernie's Maybach 62 parked outside our
hotel in Budapest.  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.

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.

Being a west coast resident, I don't know much about Florida.
But google says Miami is risky. This guy even has an ongoing fued.
I guess it is the Kessler thing that someone mentioned
