    Anyone know the owner of Prestige in Miami? He's a very young guy (early 20's). I first heard about him when the pictures of the Gallardo with the graffiti started appearing. I read that his father left him the dealership in his will.

    He was on MTV Cribs with rappers Lil' Wayne and Baby. Also, I think he was on an episode of Hogan Knows Best.

    Anyone know this guy or if all the above is true? He seems to be pretty popular in Miami...

    It's not like he was working at Home Depot, his father dies and now he's running the big show at Prestige. He was working around there ever since he was a nugget.

    I would imagine that his father had sales and general managers in place whom he trusted...those are the folks that handle the day to day at a dealership anyhow.

    From what I've read on these boards, Prestige has possibly the worst image of any Lambo dealer in the US. Please correct me if I am wrong.

    If that is the case, let's hope this guy appreciates the opportunity he's been given and works to remedy any tarnish there is on the Prestige name.

    (Again, sorry if I've been misinformed).

    +1. Prestige doesn't have many fans, especially in South Florida.

    Prestige has been the worst dealership in the country by far for as long as I can remember, I have only dealt with them once in '98 and it was less than stellar.....Irv was a nice guy but his dealership has always been know for being crooked...Don't know the kid but think he is a jackass based on the pics of him standing on top of a Gallardo:rolleyes: That is a sign of ingnorance, immaturity, and disrespect....I wish the kid well with his practical lotto hit but I think if he actually had any hand in running the dealership it would be on the block within a year.

    His name is Brett David. Had an article on him in the September 2007 issue of DUB magazine. Said he is the youngest dealership owner at only "19". Probably 20 now.

    As I can see this guy has a pretty bad reputation. That is a real shame concidering his dealership location which is the one of the best in USA. I know that Florida-South Beach-Miami are the one of the wealthiest regions in USA and exotic car salesmen have great chances for success, but this guy... If Lambo makes survey on their customers satisfaction, this kid could easily lose his licence fo L car sales.

    Have no idea of his true or current age, but if it is 19 or 20 like most say...

    Why is he in a Drinking establishment consuming Alchol while under age???

    Oh man, how could someone leave L dealership to a wild teenager. He still has pimples on his face, must be jerking a lot too. I can't imagine him driving a Lamborghini, not to mention owning a dealership. Looks very irresponsible. I think that only sharp change of attitude can ensure him that he will keep his Lamborghini sales licence, because those people in Germany and Italy are very sensitive about brand promotion and reputation that these cars have.

    The pics of him STANDING ON THE ROOF of a new Gallardo Superleggera posted on L-P don't help either... I would hope someone at Audi would take notice of the bad rep that dealership has had for years and do something about it, but they don't... I guess as long as they keep selling cars, no matter how that is accomplished, is all they care about.

    Personally I wouldn't buy a can of soda from them, and I'm far from alone in that! I also know a number of people who truck their cars to Orlando for service/warranty work rather than deal with them.

    He's a nice guy. I've talked to him a few times. We were supposed to meet for the Giro this year, but I couldn't get out of work. I think he'll be ok.

    Can someone post the picture/link of him standing on the lambo? Also, can anyone scan the Dub article? This kid must have some lifestyle!

    Symbols of Success :rolleyes: more like Symbols of the Lucky Sperm Club:D:D

    If I was handed everything I would feel like the biggest ****** and have to overindulge in an alternate reality to hide my shame as well....There is a multi bollionaire kid somewhere in europe that waits table and goes to college because he wants his own identity, much respect for him.

    Brett David, Criss Angel, and John Edwards(I talk to dead people) need to have a worlds biggest ****** contest to decide who really is the biggest ****** bag ever. FOX would be all over it:)

    Wow, many on here are so quick to shout rude comments about someone they don't even know as a person and comment about his maturity. That shows your lack of maturity as well. Life is short. Live your life to the fullest and let him live his. If you don't like the way he presents himself, do business elsewhere. Lamborghini is obviously satisfied enough with Miami's doings as they are about to open the new WPB store.

    Dear Lamborghinisti,

    Don't know about the kid, but I've also heard Prestige's rep is pretty bad. When I bought my roadster, I didn't even bother checking with prestige...and they are in my backyard. It would have been alot easier to buy a Lamborghini in my "neck-of-the-woods" then from Roy all the way in Washington.

    ....Reputation DOES matter. Yes, things go wrong, but at least you should be told the truth about what you're buying.

    I remember some wierd history and bad story on a blue/snowcorn 6.0 they were trying to peddle.

    I inspected a Testarossa at Prestige a few years back, what a POS it was. I was so disappointed in the quality of some cars they had for sale. It amazes me how great they are doing, good for them I guess, evidently there are idiot buyers with deep pockets out there.

    I know Prestige isn't the best dealership in the world, but I can understand why Brett's dad would want the business to stay in the family. They do sell lots of cars. I met Brett at the Miami auto show this year, and while he didn't seem like the brightest light in the chandelier, he was a nice guy and definitely an enthusiast. I got a close up look at his "graffitti" gallardo, and it's actually really cool. The whole car is done with a sharpie, and then ClearBra'ed over every panel. It's not what I'd do to my car, but the quality of the artwork on it is top notch, especially when you consider that it was just done in marker. I don't know what I would do if I was handed the keys to a dealership at 19 or 20, or even now at 25. You can't really blame the kid for making bad business decisions at that age, but I hope he learns from his mistakes and turns into a real businessman.
