Anyone know this 328?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290272396195&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT&viewitem=

Comments? Interesting / unusual color combination.

 

I recognize the writing on the invoice! I have many an invoice with that writing on it! The invoice is from Rock's Auto. I know the car and owner very well. It really is the best 328 you will ever buy.

Big Red should buy this car even if it's not red on tan.

 

Thanks for all your help. James, I only worked breifly with Mike Soltani and I did one or two importing jobs with Tommy. But, next time I'm back in the city I'll see if I can get in contact with them for help...and tell Shaheen he's queer.

I am planning on opening up a dealership one day. But even if it never works out, writing this business plan will be good experience for me. Thanks for the encouragement (*wink*)

But in all seriousness, I appreciate the info guys. Thanks.

Regards,

Andrew

 

the interior looks to be in good shape from the pictures

 

Todays spottings in the rain:

-Yellow F430 Spider (Islington/HWY7)
-Black Maser Quattroporte (Finch/Weston)
-White Audi R8/ Black sideblade (HWY400/Major Mac)
-Black Maser Granturismo (Finch/Sentinel)

 

Yesterday's spots:
Yellow Carrera GT (WOW!!!)
Black Murcielago LP640

 

The reason i say not to open a dealership is because no matter how good your product is or how much better it would be for someone to buy from you people will always be idiots and buy from the same guys they've been buying from for 30 years even though the service sucks and the prices are out of control but if you do i wish the best of luck! and seriously if you have any questions PM me and i'll do my best to answer them for you.

 

Anyone interested in my winter karting league should ping me asap.

 

What night is it?

 

6 different Monday nights through the winter. For any other info, PM me.

Sweet! Anybody knows if they still have MC12 and F40? I'd love to them again.

 

The F40 and 360 CS belong to the same owner. (Friend of mine). They are kept at FOO for storage.

 

I believe the MC12 is still there as well
cars will be moved over to the new place soon though

 

The new storage at the new dealership? When is it available? My friend is taking his F430 there......said all spots spoken for.

Is the new dealership open? Whats happening with that?

Chris

 

I don't know if the new FOO dealership is open but I do know that the reported move of Al Palladini in the same Auto Mall (he was going to buy the Volvo dealership location) has been called off. The reported deal of his current location (about $26 Million) just fell through. Life sucks when there is no longer any liquidity doesn't it!

 

I will keep your advice in mind for the future...who knows one day when I'm a bit more experienced in the business I may be thanking you for telling me that.

P.S. have you been to see mike's new showroom near FoO?

 

575man, if you have any specific questions you can send me a pm as well. Keep in mind I know more about the used car side, I have little experience in new cars.

 

I just drove by the new FOO location. Doesn't look anywhere near completion. The interiors are still bare, so it looks like a few weeks of interior finishing to be done.

One think I noticed is that the new FOO only has 2 service bays? What's up with that? They have so much land, but its mostly a parking lot.
