    Greetings folks,

    I'm looking into a vehicle being sold by European Exotic Center in Clearwater, FL.

    Has anyone had any interaction they'd like to share here? Anything positive or negative would be great, I just have very little information on their reputability.

    Thanks!

    -Matt

    Yes , that would be Gabe. Good man , I've known him for ~ 2 years and have only heard very positive things and I recall he has a Grigio 458 which looked really nice. It was parked next to me at DuPont event a week or so ago. I will be using his services when my warrantee runs out on my 458 . Many people I know use his service department on a regular basis. Ps. I have no affiliation with the car.

    They worked on my 430. Very satisfied.
    I think they are an authorized service center for the Koenigsegg. I have seen some very expensive cars there.

    They are a fantastic group. I deal with Gabe, Evan and Tony and they are top notch. I bought and service my 512TR with them. I highly recommend using them for sales/service, they all have many years of experience with Ferrari and other makes.

    Matt wondering how this transaction came out. I am in Arizona looking at a car online that they have. I don't have time to make it down there but based on everything I read about these guys I am tempted to just buy the car and have it shipped.

    Ed , my last post in here was ~2 years ago. Many of the Sarasota Ferrari Drivers Group still use his services. I have not bought a car from Gabe but many of my friends have his reputation is still stellar. All the best ,Kirk.

    Thanks Kirk, Pulled the trigger this morning. Nerve racking but I just have a very good feeling about the Gabe and the shop based on everything I have read. Nothing like dropping a chunk of change sight unseen. Excited to be joining the group.

    I guess that all depends on how you want to sleep. I purchased one for my old 458 spider and never used it. However, I slept well.
    Best ,Kirk.
    Ps. GABE is a first class outfit. Congrats and post pics

    These guys have a 2007, F430, with 16,920 miles that I am interested in. Anybody know anything about this car. Looks like the place is just outstanding to do business with. I just missed a one owner 2007, F430, at Naples Sports Car. Those guys also appear to be super folks to do business with. Anyone know someone that is looking to sell their F430 let me know. Thank you, Brad Ferguson.
