Erick Jon is right 1st time I was there I ran into Ralph and he took me for a ride on a F1-355 and let me test-drive a 6-spd since I was looking for a manual at that time he said a bunch of computer guys(like me) came and bought him the cars. Try to catch when not busy. After a good while supposedly my 360 has been allocated ;-) Cheers

Erick, Best is bet is to call him, they don't always respond to email very quickly. Phone number is (703) 478-3606. Try to deal with Ralph if possible he has been there since the start. You are welcome to mention my name if you like. Ralph and I are good friends. Regards, Jon P. Kofod (pronounced Kofahd) |

Erick, I have been a FOW customer for the past five years. I bought my first TR when I was about your age. Talk with Ralph Cestero in sales. He couldn't care less how old you are. At the time I purchased my TR I looked about 25 and he was went out of his way to find me a TR (they had none in stock at the time). FOW is in the heart of DOT.COM area and FOW has sold many cars to people under 25 (though I am sure this trend has stopped with the NASDAQ under 2000). FYI: Redding is not in sales. Jon Kofod

Just call FOW and make an appointment....try getting a hold of Redding Finney (703-478-3606 ext. 333), very nice guy. The other salesmen are a bit full of themselves, especially Jim. |

Go to the dealer. I had the same problem. I was 27 when I stopped by to order my 360. At first they didnt take me seriously, but after a little while after talking to the people there they realized I wasnt wasting their time. Give it a shot, you may be surprised. Ernesto |

thanks guys Kenny: my wife was hard up on me getting a CL but my heart truly goes out to the ferrari 360 you know my dream car was the GS400 at one time now i have one It is now time to move up to bigger better things. I totally agree the price of the CL is just not worth it.. hell for the price of some pre owned CL's you can buy a damn nice ferrari. thanks Erick G

Erick, the Benz and the Bimmer are great cars. A 355/360 would be a great addition to your stable. Good hunting! |

Not from Maryland, but good taste in cars. However, I was/am not a big fan of the CL55- if your gonna pay sports car prices- get a sports car. Any 300+ horsepower car in auto is nothing less then a womans car. Your GS is beautiful.

Anybody here with a 355 or 360 located in maryland? I would love to come see your car and bring my wife along.. (part of the convincing process of buying a ferrari) LOL I could bring her to FOW but not sure what kind of welcome i would receive considering im 29years old and can afford a 360.. I've had similar problems before when i was shopping around for a benz cl55 and bmw m5 thanks again Erick G |
