    Gents,
    As I track down several pre-owned 360 coupes on the internet...I've observed an independent dealership in La Jolla, California named the Sport Car Company...which is offering a large group of pre-owned Ferrari's on eBay. Has anyone purchased a Ferrari from this firm...or heard of a positive experience when working with the Sports Car Company? Any feedback on this issue would be greatly appreciated!!

    With best regards,
    Randy

    Haven't had the opportunity to purchase from Jim Lyons. However, I know many happy campers who have and would do so again. Do a search here and I'm confidant you'll hear the same.

    I purchased a 360 from him about 3 months ago. Everything was what he said and a pleasure to deal with. His prices are below dealership prices and I would purchase from him again. They pickup me up at the airport and was a seamless purchase.

    I just sold my 360 to the Sports Car Company. Jim Lyons was great to deal with.

    Bought about dozen cars from Jim, the latest being a F40. He is more than fair and never had a problem with any of the cars he has sold me. He did refuse to sell me a few cars that were super cheap because it needed work. He told me those cars are reserved to buyers who are mechanics or can work on the car themselves. Give him this ad and he will give you 10% off sticker.

    Bought an ‘02 360 coupe from Jim Lyons about 1.5 years ago in a very smooth and professional transaction. He’s the consummate pro and really knows his stuff so there’s no BS and no “tricks” that will work on him. If you’re serious about buying a good car at a fair price, he’s your man.
