    Hey guys,

    Just trying to see if you guys have any information regarding this dealership as to how reliable their cars are. Thinking about buying a car down there but since it's such a new dealership I'm kind of hesitant about it. Any information would be great.

    There facility is impeccable. This location opened recently, however I know people who purchased Lambo's from their other locations and have had nothing but good things to report.

    If you like, PM me with the car you are interested in and I can do a quick in person overview. I'm going that way in the next day or two.

    I went there with a few people after the recent Poker Run. They had nice cars there. However, despite how good (or bad) any dealership has for a reputation, you should always have someone go 'eyeball' the car, then get a full PPI before buying.

    Just came from there. They lost their roof in the storm. They do seem to have nice cars there. However, I spoke with the big guy who tells me a few things.

    he is buying F430's for sticker and selling them 10k over sticker for coupes and 30-35k over for spiders. WOW> hmmmmmm
    So after that stop, I stopped by Shelton to check on a warranty claim I have in and spoke with them. (won't mention who) and he tells me there is no way that is true. Every one else is selling them 40-50k over sticker for coupes and 100 over for spiders. No way he is buying them at sticker for resale unless they are euro or mexican cars.... Also says the guy is shady and not an honest person at all. And to think that guy was trying to make me feel bad by telling me I got killed on my purchase...

    Went like this "you got killed, you paid about 20k more than you could have, but what's 20k, you spend that on dinner and you are one of the lucky few to be able to have one cos no one can get them, so no big deal, enjoy it nice car."

    They have had many 430 Spiders... last month they had a red/tan 430. Did not see any in the showroom last Monday when I was there.

    Can't believe Shelton would say something dishonest. I know most of the guys there and can only think of one sales rep who would stoop to that level. They, Autosport, are a sister company of Autohouse MBZ and that's why on same lot - they even share the same computer system.
