    Just a little feedback on my dealings with NM. First, If you by a car from them it must have been your dream car and you were willing to pay any price for it. They seem to have nice cars but sadly if you bought one you probably paid 15-20% over market value for it. They really push to have a local shop do the PPI. It is however a shop they do a great deal of business with so if you use there recommended shop take the PPI with a grain of salt. I can't comment on the actual quality of the vehicles since I didn't buy the one I looked at. I'm not the type of customer they are looking for. I want a clean car with no stories at a fair (fair for him and me, aka market value) price. I do my homework ahead of time to determine fair prices and I insist on a full impartial PPI. So I am the polar opposite of who they want to do business with. They want uneducated impulse buyers willing to purchase sight unseen with little or no PPI who will pay over retail value for the car they wanted since they were 16. As far as the service records they adverstised with the car... they were spotty at best. Pretty much all they had was record of the last service. So for what its worth just one mans opinion, Do a through PPI !!!!!! form some place other than there buddies down the street and ask very very detailed questions concerning paint work and what they mean by service records. Like I said before I didn't buy the car I was looking at but I didn't get the best "vibe" in dealing with them. Do your homework!!!

    Before you either sign on the bottom line or put a deposit down get your attorney involved by drawing up a purchase contract. The object is to protect your ass and assets. It is far cheaper from a financial and psychological standpoint than getting him involved later. My experience has been if the seller balks put your hands and your money into your pockets and keep walking.

    Well, I read the whole thread about the 360 with great interest and it was closed after Steve made his last comment. It took me over an hour.

    This is an old thread. I know one of our regular posters "tian2bing" who posts in the 360 and tech sections regularly bought a sweet gated 360 w/sunroof from them about 2 1/2 years ago. If you are considering the dealership in the OP it might be worth it to reach out to him.

    ...and attorney to buy a car? Seriously?

    Lazarus thread!

    They don't seem much worse or much better than most high-end dealerships.

    From whom I would never buy a used car.

    They are all crooks NM,BH take your pick even some of this sites sponsers who will lie to you so do your homework. Iam out of the Ferrari world now out of disgust from dealers and dealership practices. It was fun but TO ME, not worth the cost of ownership.
