    Hi-
    I am new to NYC. Going to be moving in pretty soon and so I am looking for the best dealer to order the new California. Any suggestions?

    Ferrari of Central New Jersey and Miller Motorcars in Greenwich, CT are both very good dealers with excellent reputations for service.

    Both dealers are fantastic! Highly recommend Miller Motorcars in Greenwich, CT (45 min outside NYC)
    Ask for Steve Daly or Werner Pfister

    What color are you thinking of getting the CA for in?

    Ferrari Maserati of Central New Jersey, ask for Chris Miele.

    Chris is a straight shooter, all the way. No typical Ferrari showroom games. First class, all the way. I've bought a few cars from Chris, sent him a bunch of customers. I cannot say enough nice things about him or their facility.

    6 months ago I would have laughed at you for asking this question. How times have changed. Call Chris Miele he'll get you what you need!

    I tried to buy a car from Mike M.'s dealership at market price (35k over MSRP), left a deposit, secured financing within 4 days. Went to pick up the car and he had the salesman tell me the car was no longer available to me. Mike came down, treated us like ****, came up with every excuse why he cant sell us the car then finally said he sold the car to someone else for more money.

    Run far away from buying a car from his dealership.

    Ferrari of Central NJ, is the right place to go.

    Ferrari of Central New Jersey - Chris Miele and folks are incredible - do a search and you will see the overwhelming evidence.

    I have never had a car buying experience that came anywhere close; professional, integrity, dedication to making everyone - from folks looking to folks buying - special. Service is beyond excellent.

    Other Ferrari dealerships are closer to my home, but I would never consider anyone else.

    I've heard so many horror stories about WWOC from new car deals gone wrong, to being scre**d on used cars, to body shop horrors, that even if they were around the corner, when I buy (and I will) it'll be from FOCNJ, so many good reports there really is no reason to go anywhere else!!

    Just to emphasize -- that type of attitude is *exactly* what's going to hurt a place like WWoC. They may be able to get away with it when things are great and there's a line around the block for new cars, but when things get tighter (i.e. now) and demand isn't as insane, people (like us) who were treated poorly and dismissively aren't going to forget.

    +1 to Chris Miele @ Ferrari of Central New Jersey. He'll make it happen.

    Thanks for sharing that story, Rob. News of this kind of lousy low life treatment deserves to be spread far and wide.
    And what's worse than the ****** attitude is how stupid they must be. To screw with such good and straight up people as Gotham, is just plane moronic.

    I have heard this again and again, and this too desrves to be repeated! :)

    Ferrari of Central NJ is the ONLY place you should go. Call Chris Miele - he'll get you the car you want with no hassles or BS. The service team is outstanding and will make sure you have many trouble-free miles!

    Miele of Central Jersey is exceptional. He helped me with a car or two, and did a great job of it. Mike in their service area took incredible care of my Stradale and gave it back to me in the kind of perfect condition you'd only wish for....

    that being said, i've also had great experiences with Ferrari of Long Island, with Gianni in sales, and with Lenny Peake in their sales area, who is about as knowledgeable and sincere a master technician as you'd find.

    end of day, dont equate being good with thinking you'll get to the top of the list on new fcars at msrp. they have a laundry list of great clients who have been loyal to them for years and they come first the list. but these guys will all treat you fairly and ensure when they say X, they will deliver exactly what, without stories and excuses.

    good luck, and enjoy!

    As for dealers for sales, heck try all of them and see how much they are willing to bend over backwards for you. Times are tough. They don't want anything sitting on their lot. As for new cars, if they have a big client base already, they have to start with the customers who have been there the longest. If you are a newer dealer in the area(NJ) and do not have the bigger base of customers,of course you will be willing to do anything for the new customer.

    Service is another aspect. A great sales experience does not make a great dealer. If they can not fix your car you are stuck.

    There independent shops out there , Arena and Pocono to name a few who are very good.

    Just remember, buying only half the battle, these cars require service too.

    My 2 cents.

    I purchased five ferrari's in the last 18 months from Ferrari of Long Island. My main contact is Tom Roach. Sales and service are excellent. Always have been treated fair and square. Left WWOC after 10 years when they would not honor a prior commitment. Dealing with FOLI is easy and without problems. What you see is what you get. I recommend them without reservation.

    Gianni at Ferrari LI and Werner at Miller are the best. I have been dealing with Werner for over 20 years and he has never disappointed. Gianni, from whom I only bought a '95 355 in 2005, was the only dealer who stepped up and not only took my order for a 599 in 2006 but also delivered it at MSRP, while everyone else was asking $100M more, and often would not even promise me a car. Both places have great service.

    I purchased a 2000 360 from LI Ferrari. Everyone there are great and upfront. I like them so much that I'm thinking of buying a Maserati for my wife.
