    Never bought one from them, had my 328 serviced by them only that was years ago.
    I have looked at their cars on the showroom floor numerous times and they are usually top shelf, at the new location in the last year. Have also bought parts from them recently. Repost and ask if anybody can drop by and look at the car for you, certain someone will jump in.
    Curious the silver or black one, 720 hp in the black one ... Wow

    I hope it's the GT :)

    RTGT has a pretty solid reputation. I haven't heard anything negative about them on here or elsewhere to be honest.

    Did you have an independent do a PPI?

    Risky not to.

    They are the most honest and upfront dealership you could work with. Have purchased from them and would again. Greg, Steve and the rest of the team are very knowledgeable of the high end exotic car lines. If they say its a 10, its a 10.

    I have known them for decades and they are the best group of guys. Very honest in my opinion.

    Fine, probably no issues.

    RTGT has a good rep.

    My point: I don't care how new it is, or who you buy a used Ferrari from; an independent PPI is money well spent.

    I bought a car from RTGT unseen, flew up they picked me up at the airport finished the paperwork, went through the car and I drove it 800 miles home, no problems, i told them when i bought it if it breaks down on the way home it was coming back on their dime, and they agreed!....great people!

    I just purchased a new 2015 458 Italia on Saturday. It was a great experience from start to finish. Would totally buy from them again.

    I have seen the car and wanted it before you bought it. It is an 11 out of 10. Spotless and the matte Suzuka grey looks absolutely sick. Congrats amazing car.

    100% top notch professional dealer. You scored.

    Not if it's July 27th. I've done it in previous years, and had a good time. I'll probably try and go this year, if I can.

    funny, the previous owner also had a 360 Challenge Stradale that is now in the hands of a customer of mine. Congrats as that car is bar none the best R8 I've seen!
