Fastest Deal on a Sports Car

The 308. Less than 24 hours between the original posting and the depost on my Amex.

 

About two hours on a Chevy 1/2 ton work truck from the time I read the ad, traveled to the dealer, and wrote the check, including all paperwork. At the end the sales manager said it was the quickest deal they had ever done. I dont know if he was stroking me or if it was fact. On the other hand my Formula Mazda deal took over a year.

 

Bought an 02 Carrera Cab in about 30 minutes.

No joke, got it at FCI. Walked in, test drove the car, liked it, remembered the meeting I was going to, and my dad bought it and we drove it to my meeting thing... but yeah about 30 minutes.

 

From 350 miles away, I called my good pal Paul and he had a new car read for my wife in 18 hours. Did the necessary paperwork on Tire Rack's fax. They rock over there at Tire Rack.

 

I just did a pretty quick deal.

An Esprit popped up on E-bay and was within 5 hours of me. I e-mailed the guy asking if he might be interested in a trade for a 69 corvette I haven't used in years.

He said, send some pics... I did... he called and we set up a day to do the trade. Should pick it up on monday.

Overall about 2 hours.

 

5 minutes is the norm for me. But it's also my occupation.

 

I bought and sold an original 95 twin turbo Supra in 22 hours.

As far as brokering I helped a customer get rid of his 360 in less then 3 hours. He had called me to see if I was interested or anyone else was, I told him I'd see what I could do, about 30 minutes later an F355 customer of mine called me to tell me he was ready to upgrade to a 360. I made a few phone calls and about 2 hours later we had a deposit and had scheduled payment and delivery. It was pretty neat.

Forza,

Purchased an 04 Expedition basically online.
Wanted it just a certain way, color etc..
Every time i went to the dealer they could not find one usually because thier in house system was down. This was the case at a few dealers.
So i went online...found my Expy 30 miles away and made a deal on the phone.

 

I wanted an Acuta 3.2TL..but was just looking around mostly..went with my friend to a very reputable dealer..test drove one..made a deposit 45 minutes later

taking delivery of it on monday

 

woke up Mike328 last spring (forgot about the time diff), about 60 seconds into the phone call i offered to bank wire transfer the cash to him for the marrone 308 as soon as the banks were awake. bought the 308GTB the came way. currently working on another ferrari today. should close the deal tomorrow. just found out about the car saturday morning, before going to work at 4am .

 

I bought my sister a Jetta as soon as I walked into the dealership for her graduation present. They had the color there, signed the papers and drove it out. Took 24 hours prep time for the 850 I bought my mother for Christmas

 

Same day , 2 weeks ago on a 97 Diablo Roadster, Anniversary purple. Got the call, bought it sight unseen. 1500 miles.

 

Probably my 98 Mustang Gt Convertible. The salesman had us stang behind the car, he started it up and it was pretty much sold. Let us take if for a test drive, we got back and bought it. Had no intentions of buying a car that day either. lol It was my 15th birthday.

 

I went to a large dealers with a friend to look at a 355 he was interested in.
The car was gone but in the corner was the most perfect 308GTB i'd ever seen. 1977 13,000 miles. It was like new.

Gregor Foitek, the ex F1 driver was there and he offered to take me out in it. In my head I'd bought the car after the first 2 corners. In reality it took a good 10 minutes to finalise the paper work The most amazing drive on public roads I've ever experienced.

 

here is a man after my heart...

similar story as aj's...w/ my 97.5 diablo roadster (transaction actually involved a.j). bought it in less than 4 hours...saw it on ebay at noon....asked aj for his price input along w/ johnathan of lambo of atlanta for dealership history....both gave the greenlite....bought it sight unseen by 3pm that afternoon....car delivered 48hrs later....SWEEET.

 

i once walked into mcdonalds and purchased a burger sight-unseen... no PPI or anything!

 

this guy really has humor. LOL

 

LOL

My quickest purchase is my current 996 Turbo S. I got a call from the service manager while I was sitting in Starbucks about a guy seriously intersted in buying my '03 Turbo. I haven't planned on selling it but the offer was too good to pass-up. After I made sure that he was serious, I accept his offer. Two minutes later the Porsche dealer manager walks into Starbucks, I tell him about my "new found buying power", he whips up his phone, calls the showroom to get the price on beautiful Arctic Silver '05 Turbo S coupe that they had just received. Wasn't too bad so I accepted. It took all of 20 minutes to negotiate the sale and purchase.

The wife, on being informed, just shock her head and prounnced me certifiable.
