    And what do you place that premise on? Just personal opinion drawn from actual experience with both dealers, or just having dealt with LFSC.

    By the way, you used the wrong word "then"; should've been 'than'. Just one word can limit one's credibility! :D

    Good catch!
    Most folks would miss that one.


    THAN/THEN

    When comparing one thing with another you may find that one is more appealing “than” another. “Than” is the word you want when doing comparisons. But if you are talking about time, choose “then“: “First you separate the eggs; then you beat the whites.” Alexis is smarter than I, not “then I."

    The one that drives me nuts is using the adjective loose in place of the verb lose.

    I find these dealership comparisons a bit tedious. Personally, I have purchased new and used cars from both dealerships and have also used both of their service departments. For many reasons, Continental remains my preferred dealership; living in Lake County, I drive significantly further to have my car serviced there. However, I would have no problems doing business with either.

    Back on track with JSmotos's orginial concerns... he needs to purchase one first.
    I was in the same situation as you were a few years ago. I was snubbed and not taken seriously when I came in looking for a Ferrari at Continental. That tends to happen alot in many hi-line exotic dealerships. In this economy, they should not be judging a book by it's cover. Most people here on this forum have some sort of previous relationship with their dealer, but for the average young person or a women walking in off the street, they are quick to judge. I ended up going to FVMC to purchase my Ferrari. I would strongly recommend Lake Forest Sports Car or Chicago Motor Cars -(not authorized dealer) though if you're looking for a hi-line. They don't size you up when you walk in the door. Good luck on your search.

    Maybe it was your attitude, not theirs, that brought you to that conclusion!
