    Thinking about making the leap from 360 spider to 430 spider. I would prefer to find a local car. There is a 430 there that I may want to see but wanted to know if anyone has dealt with this dealership before and what type of experience they had.
    Thanks

    I bought a car for my out of State brother at Lucky.

    It went as expected. Car was as represented.

    I had a two hour drive in front of me after inspection, test drive & purchasing. The car had the reserve light for fuel on when I arrived (it was 99% empty). My only complaint - as I had to find & go directly to a gas station (in a neighborhood that I was unfamiliar with) before I could even put a few miles on it to check it out. I think I coasted in on fumes.

    My brother had hammered them on the price. I dont think they wanted to even put $10 of unleaded in it after that. But he drove that car for years & put 160k miles on it.

    If he put 160K miles on it I'm guessing it wasn't a Ferrari!
    Thanks for responding, but I am more interested in a purchase experience of a high end vehicle.

    Sorry, didn't mean to offend or belittle. I wouldn't have thought they would turn it over dry like that on a big ticket item. Just goes to show ya.....sounds kind of petty on their part.

    Heck no foul. Ya' know... I thought the uber-low gas was weak too. In fact it has always been the 1st thing I think about every time I hear "lucky Motors"

    It was an amateur move on their part but the cars are still good.

    I have friends who bought exotics from them with good experiences. But always do a PPI , doesn't matter what dealer there are bad apples everywhere. Depending on the year check the headers and exhaust bracket recall and make sure they are current. Good luck !

    Thanks Vinod...that helps. PPI is a must and I think they should be relatively close to Continental.
