    Coney Island avenue between Y and Z.

    I never did business with them or visited, but found out about them earlier this year. There was a news segment over the winter which showed a Dept. of Sanitation plow speeding down Coney Island avenue and taking out a pedestrian - completely soaking the guy and sending him flying onto the sidewalk while he walked by this dealership minding his own business. The dealership had a number of security cameras and turned over all it's videos to the news, and from one camera inside the showroom looking out you can see a few Ferraris and Porsches......so I looked them up.

    That is 5 mins from me. Never knew they were there and probably would never stop in to see anything at this location . IMHO not an area I would be interested in buying a used car, especially an exotic or high end.

    Thought they might be a place off the Belt Parkway near Knapp St. and I'd still have the same opinion.

    Interesting
    But the fact that each picture is in another location...scares me.

    Not far from my old stomping grounds - Coney Island Ave / Avenue W (I'm Brooklyn born and spent a big part of my young life at relatives in the area).

    I was last there about 2-3 years ago (about the time I purchased your old 308), man has it changed. I didn't know about this dealership either...interesting to say the least.

    I'm Brooklyn born also - from Canarsie. The last of us left around 1981. I only go back now to visit the cemetery on Remsen Avenue...I make it quick and keep my head down as I'm driving through.

    Are you guys kidding?

    Brooklyn rentals are now as expensive as Manhattan, and sales are ferociously strong too. "Pioneers" are gentrifying...ready?...Bed Stuy.

    Google brooklyn real estate. You should have kept the old family homesteads...

    Canarsie is not one of those areas. Prices were much higher years ago.

    Yes Brooklyn is hot but, not everywhere. No longer the starter borough. However, with houses at 1 million+ in many areas, I'm a proponent for CT, NJ or LI even with higher RE taxes. You pay high insurance rates, have so-so schools and pay city income tax.

    Ive done business with these guys. Legit operation. They specialize in leasing to the local community in Brooklyn NY and Deal NJ. They somewhat recently got into the business of retailing specialty cars. Full disclosure, I am in the car business also.

    My buddy bought the NSX they list as "sold" on the site from their Deal, NJ location. Traded in his CTS-V. He does a lot of research on values (has access to Manheim numbers) and was satisfied with the deal.

    He had a few 355s there. At least one of them had the typical C-pillar paint cracking but they all looked pretty clean.

    I was looking at one of the 355 there. I was wandering if someone close can stop in there just to look over paint and interior
