    Hello,
    I'm looking at an F355 at Exotic Motors Midwest

    www.exoticmotorsmidwest.com/1996-ferrari-355-spider-red-on-beige-em-105446

    ...and wondered if any of you in the St Louis area knew of the car?

    Any information would be appreciated.

    To current, my phone and email communication with the owner and a sales person have been very delightful. They seem quite outstanding.

    Eddie

    Eddie,

    I don't know the car but based upon who the seller is, don't expect St. Louis Motorsports to do a PPI on it - there is bad blood between the owners of the two stores.

    Thanks Jeff...I'll keep that in mind.

    On second thought...maybe that's precisely who I should use!

    Kidding, I'm not that mischievous...

    Good luck with the purchase Eddie, and I agree with Jeff, the dealership your dealing with is relatively new, and I haven't heard any stories good or bad regarding the sales aspect of EMM, just some bad stories on how they got started. If you're looking for a PPI, try GLB Motorworks, I know there are quite a few on here that have used them for service, and have heard good things about them.

    Thank you Scott; that is helpful.

    So far, my experience with them has been very good.

    Again, much appreciated.

    the carfax for that car (provided free by the dealer) indicates it's a Mid-Atlantic car until 8/11, when EMM bought it (or took it on trade).

    I would second GLB on the inspection.

    I have seen this car in person and from the few minutes I spent looking at it, there were no noticeable imperfections in the car. That being said, I am no expert and did not spend an exuberant amount of time looking at it. I have can say that the dealership is very honest and has excellent customer service, as I used to work for them producing inventory videos. Good luck with your purchase!

    Thank you Ryan.

    I couldnt agree more...my experience thus far with Danny and Paul has been nothing short of first class (and I have very high standards)

    Thank you for the confirmation.

    Eddie,

    If you are not already a member of the FCA make sure that Paul gives you an application form. I gave him a stack of them at the last St. Louis club gathering.
