Beware of Ferrari Maserati of Vancouver

Just have your daily driver wrapped with FOV Ferrari crashed my car etc and park it across the street. This is a less expensive way to go.

 

Especially if your daily driver happens to look like this:

How about a fundraiser for a wrapped vehicle and a few college students to move it around Vancouver several times a day? Doesn't have to be a billboard truck, any old commercial van still gives you big flat surfaces and much cheaper.

 

You guys are thinking far too inside the box.

Lawrence, just skip to the big finish. Have the thread URL tattooed on your back, and run naked through the streets of Vancouver screaming "Beware! Beware!"

 

Please post a summary with a few pics. It’s amazing that this is still an issue 4 1/2 years later. Typically a dealership would make it right. The old adage “the customer is alway right” must be lost in them.

Thanks from a perspective Ferrari owner.

 

The customer isn't.

 

I thought your lawsuits' main objectives were recovering tens-of-thousands in damages for "lost pleasure time", not "improving business practices."

 

You did receive an initial judgement in your favor, didnt you? But on the subsequent ones - have your lawsuits against Ferrari Maserati of Vancouver come to completion, or are you still engaged in legal action against Ferrari Maserati of Vancouver?

BTW, I can't recall... do you still own the car originally taken to Ferrari Maserati of Vancouver?

 

Due to the length of the thread and new to Fchat I’ve had to skip some threads to get to the end.....did FMoV ever pay you out as per the terms of the court judgement?

I was just at F of Vancouver and spoke to Eric T. (pre owned manager) and he seems like a cool honest guy that knows exactly what he got and knows what he’s talking about.

 

I suppose everybody seems cool and easy to deal with until something goes wrong. That is the real test. How do businesses handle things on those inevitable, and hopefully rare, cases where things don't go as planned.

Some businesses will take those opportunities to enhance their reputation by going over the top to make things right. Those businesses earn customers for life.

Others will take the router that seems easy in the short term but does immeasurable damage in the long term.

For a long time I have followed this thread with interest and sympathy but I seriously wonder what is to be gained by the continued bashing of a company that has faced justice. It would appear the legal claims are exhausted and neither party is happy about the outcome. At this point, legally it is over and both parties should move on.

Sure you can memorialize their "nefarious business practices" on billboards, websites and vehicles but to what end?

F0V is not going to apologize and say: "we were sooooo wrong .....please forgive us and we will give you a new Ferrari of your choice".

FoV is not going to change its business practices based on further internet based harassment from you or others.

FoV is not going to meet your "ethical" standard no matter what gets posted on Fchat.

FoNA is not going to "punish" them.

A person who wants to buy a car from them will do so (albeit cautiously) regardless.

I don't have a dog in this fight (or do I live in Canada) but after 745 thread posts......you must realize there is nothing further to gain. Thorn's comments reflect a defining moment in most threads when the sentiment shifts from sympathy/support to questioning the OP's motivations. Asking: "what is your incentive in defending the nefarious business practices of Ferrari Maserati of Vancouver? will only accelerate downhill momentum.

I for one am impressed with the way you have handled yourself in this matter.....up to this point.

 

With respect, I wouldn't be so sure that FoV won't change their business practices.

I am not sure they will btw.

However, what I am sure of is they are not happy that thousands of people have seen and will continue to see this. It will surely make them at least think twice next time. For that matter, other dealers that have seen this will probably think twice as well next time they are faced with a situation where things don't go as planned die to their mistake.

Also, I am sure I would never by a car from a dealer that has done this. The chance I am the only one is very low.

Furthermore, while Ferrari may not punish them this time they are certainly on thinner ice than they were before due to this being so "public"--which I suppose is one if the reasons to make such issue of it.

Just my two cents.

As a newbie into Ferrari ownership I think this thread and ones like it are invaluable; and deserve to be kept alive.

There are so many dubious operators in this market and as a newbie it can be very difficult to find your way to the honest ones, as those that get burnt along the way often don't go public for a variety of reasons.

What goes around comes around! So keep at it.
