Algar Ferrari in Bryn Mawr PA

Need some advice from the group: I recently moved to PA and thinking about buying my next 'fun' car soon. Only dealer around me is Algar. I know the ownership transitioned a few years ago and I'm hearing mixed reviews on the dealership since then. Can y'all help me with recent experiences on both the sales and services front please?
Many thanks!

 

If you want a new one, then you're locked in to Algar, as Ferrari sets pretty tough rules for their dealers selling outside of their territory.

If you're buying used, well, all options are available to you.

Francis is still there as sales manager, and most of the sales staff look to be the same as when I bought there. Service manager is excellent as well.

I'm a little troubled that the owner only shows himself and his first name on their website, that's a little odd, but Algar has been there for a long time, and the folks who are there are long term employees.

If I was looking for another Ferrari, I'd call them first, and I live in Florida now. (Of course, I'd be buying used, not new, but I still would trust Francis to do right by me.)

I have not purchased a car there but I have all my sports cars serviced there. It is a well run shop and Mike the service manager is excellent.

There may be a reason he doesnt publicly post his last name.
In of 2012 Bloomberg listed his father as the richest man in Russia.

 

I've read positive review of the dealership

I purchased a 2008 F430 from Algar a few years back. I also sold Algar my 458 about a year ago. These guys are great to deal with. Francis, Patrick and Tony Palmer are who I dealt with on the transactions, all easy and straight forward folks. The transporter guy that delivers and picks up the cars is good as well!

 

In May of this year I purchased a Mercedes McLaren SLR Roadster from Algar that was there on consignment. The transaction was swift and smooth. My contact at Algar was Francis, a totally stand up guy. When refurbing the minor curb rash on two wheels was taking too much time, he deducted the cost of getting them fixed from the purchase price so I could just take the car and get the work done myself. The original owner of the SLR said he had the spare key, but couldn't ever come up with it. Francis sent me a check for a new spare key ($1,150!). The battery tender went missing between the time I looked at the car and when I came back to drive it home. Francis sent me a new one.

 

I bought a Maserati GranSport from Tony Palmer back in 2008. Had a great experience w/ Algar as well!

 

Small dollar thing made me wonder... I needed a oil filter for my TR...Looked at all the normal F-part suppliers. Then saw an ebay ad for the cheapest filter I ever saw....genuine Ferrari part.......Algar. Looks like they are thinking outside the box

 

I purchased 2 new Ferrari's from Algar. Traded one in for the second one and they sold the second one for me outright.

All transactions were professional and transparent. I lease my DD from other dealers and I can state without reservation the team at Algar is as good as it gets.

 

Pm me and I can give you straight

 

Story I heard was the richest guy in Russia bought it for his son to run which is who you see pictured.

 

Bingo!!!
