    I'm going to be in FL for a few days, and will (of course) need to take in some of the local car scenery.
    good places to stop? (dealers, independent places, etc)

    we are staying at the Marriott Harbor Beach

    thanks!

    FMFL is definitely a must go.

    If your there this weekend, there is a Cars & Coffee on Saturday 10AM-12PM

    The Ft. Lauderdale collection isn't a bad dealer either.

    Get a table curbside at the News Cafe on Ocean Drive in South Beach anytime on the weekend and watch the parade of exotics passing by!

    Cheers

    I will second Ferrari Maserati of Fort Lauderdale. Beautiful facility and their inventory is always top notch.

    And as said above if you can make it down to SoBe or the Bal Harbor shops you better be sure to bring a camera. You won't be able to add up the millions of dollars in exotics fast enough.

    Did search on Ferrarichat about this dealer, several strikes from buyers, but probably OK if you're just visiting to look.

    Not sure what you mean by "probably OK if you're just visiting to look".....what, are they going to hit you over the head & steal your wallet? lol

    I think one should come up with their own opinion!!!
    Every time I have visited Motorcar Gallery, they (owner Ed W. and/or his salesmen) have been very friendly and took the time to inform me of their entire inventory. Ed W. is one of the most knowledgeable businessmen of early model exotics! Also, I think they have been in business as long as I've been in Florida (30+ years) which should say something of their reputation!


    Btw, some of the best movies I have seen, have had bad reviews by others!!!!
    Just my two cents!

    Are you sure? You are not confusing him with some other dealer perhaps?
    The owner is a true gentleman, a car conosseur with a stellar reputation.

    Ed has always been a gentleman to me. Motorcar Gallery has a completely different inventory to other dealers. You may see a LP400 periscopo,... a daytona,.. a 275GTB. Great place.

    Ft lauderdale Ferrari dealer is fantastic. Brand new state of the art facility. Really nice people. They will treat you to expesso or capichino as you brows. Hot women there also.

    Wow, how do they get a Cars & Coffee at a Ferrari dealership? I would love to start a Cars & Coffee at a Ferrari dealership in my town (I live in Michigan). How do you get them to allow that?

    Agree with the positive comments regarding Ed. Impressive knowledge and as far as you can get from a used car salesman. Spoke to him regarding a 512. Still looking but will go back to Ed.

    Nice pic Peter, I was there that day (my car was behind the white Aston).

    Bal Harbour has been too packed these last few days. Never seen it like it has been. Maybe tomorrow I will take my cam.
