    Still curious to see if anybody's had recent dealings with them.

    Thanks.

    From their website...

    Ladies and Gentlemen, Domani Motors is pleased to present to the public this imposing 1991 Ferrari Testarossa. This is an excellent example of one of the most desirable exotic motorcars of all time. A roaring flat twelve powerplant producing an astounding 390 HP that hurls you through the air like a projectile fired from a cannon. The sound of this wonderful machine is amazing commanding attention at every corner passed. Truly one of the most recognizable and sought after sports cars on the planet this example says and does everything expected and more.

    Car dealership or hyperbole factory :)

    Looks to be a nice p-shop on their website. Hey, if you don't have the cars, no worries, a little p-shop will fix that ;)

    I have not personally dealt with Domani Motors but a friend sold a car to them a while back and did not have any issues. I've been there a couple of times and their new showroom is very classy and elegant. I think the owners name is Michael and he seems like a really good guy. Their prices may be a bit steep on some cars but they are not a fly by night dealership by any means.

    On a side note, I bought my 360 from Michael's brother (his personal car) who works for another dealership down here and he is definitely a top notch guy that I'd do business with again without hesitation. I actually bought my car when I was living in CO and the buying experience was one of the more pleasant I've had in recent years. If customer service runs in the family then you shouldn't have a problem with them.

    What car are you looking at there?

    I drive by their showroom periodically-never dealt with them. They used to be a repair shop, then the shop was "remodeled" to be a very nice showroom. There are always a few Vipers and Benz's sitting around outside. I always question how they don't get stolen and this place is not located in the country club part of town. they have been around for a while, but then so has the Auto Toy Store.

    If you are considering buying a car from them, have the PPI done by Tim Stanford who is located about 30 minutes south of Domani. That should answer your concerns about the car. As for the dealer, they are in Deerfield Beach, try calling the Broward County Better Business Bureau for info.

    Good luck.

    That's BS. Ain't nothin' wrong with Fl. I've lived here 30 years. Regarding Domani, yes, they started as a repair shop 25 years ago. Michael sold exotics out of his shop way back then. I've done business with him for 15 years. He's repaired my cars, and now sells them out of a magnificent showroom he built about 4 years ago. He has about 60 cars in stock at any given time.

    I'm not shilling for Domani, or Michael. All I can say is that every experience I've ever had with the dealership has been positive. I've bought Mercedes, Ferrari's, Bentley's, etc from Domani thru the years. Mike and Darlene sell clean cars and they're really good people. We shouldn't bash people we don't know.

    Holy dated-thread Batman!

    Sorry andymo1972 and tifosiron for not responding to your comments. Must have missed them earlier.

    I was soliciting feedback on Domani Motors at the time because they had a Gallardo I was thinking about. Didn't pursue it very far as the price quoted was Miami-esque. Although my experience was only based on a few phone calls, the salesmen were friendly and professional, and I have nothing bad to say about them based on that limited interaction.

    My understanding is that, as of late, they have been buying MY05 Gallardo's aggressively (some from authorized Lambo dealers, some from the open market) and currently have about 15 MY05's in stock.

    A number of their Gallardo's can been seen on eBay.

    Best.

    Haha....so true!! Seriously, I think CA & TX are probably the best states to buy a car from.

    If your not shilling for Domani, than you need to word your thread better, because it sure sounds like it to me. BTW I love FL. visit it very often.

    Hey John,

    Not to be rude, but please tell me in all your infinate wisdom how YOU would word my post? I'm only relaying my experiences with an automobile dealer. It's wrong to judge with nothing to back up your judgement. What do you think? Do you think Domani pays me a commission for the cars they sell? WRONG! I'm self employed, not in the auto business.

    When I say that Mike and Darlene are great people I say so from my experience. When you know someone for a while you certainly form an opinion about who they are.

    I agree. Mike is a good guy. Domani is good.

    i bought my fcar from them (domani) and i agree with everything andymo said.

    there's no bargains at domani, but he does have an amazing inventory that changes often, and a beautiful showroom and facility. this isnt a fly by night FL operation.

    his brother is also a great seller, who sold me my porsche. i would recommend them to anyone.

    BUT, don't think it's gonna be cheap...u pay for what u get :)

    Domani...

    Attitude and hype.
    Type of shop I avoid.

    I'd stick with authorized Ferrari dealers only.
    These guys won't get a cent from me in my lifetime in Florida.

    Visit and enjoy their attitude.

    Domani motors is great, Michael over there is very helpful. Authorized dealers are a good bet, but sometimes you save alot of money going private. Not to mention some dealers are just plain rude.
