    I have not bought from them but I have been to CNC and met with Cam personally, who seems like a really nice guy.

    The cars look terrific and the prices seem very realistic. They have their own shop to inspect and repair the cars.

    They have A LOT of cars. When I was there, I bet they had close to 10 F430's to choose from. The oldest Ferrari I believe was a Mondial Convertible, the newest a 2011 458 coupe.

    They have some American muscle and classics, some AMG, some Rolls Royce, and I even saw a Maybach there. But, I would say the most appear to be Italian sports cars.

    It's located near the Ontario Auto park so it's easy to get to from LA (about an hour from the airport).

    I have not purchased from CNC but have been to their facilities a few times and met the staff. Real nice bunch of people who made everyone feel welcome. They are having an open house on 4/7. Come check it out. I will be there.

    Cam, Clay and crew are great guys and active members of the SoCal exotic community. I'd buy from them without hesitation.

    and if you do, make the trip to see their showroom....it's insane.

    I traded m.y 575HGTC for a 599HGTE with Cam in early Jan 2013. Nothing but good things to say about Cam and the transaction.

    I have purchased 2 cars from CNC/Cam (one being a Ferrari) and my experience was Amazing! They treat you like family and offer fair prices with great financing! PM me if you would like more info but I definetly recommend them.

    I've been a long time Porsche guy and decided to dip my toe into the Ferrari world last Fall. Have taken delivery of at least 40 new/pre-owned cars in my life and have dealt with a wide array of sellers.

    I purchased my 360 from CNC as a Christmas present from me to me. It was, without a doubt, the BEST vehicle transaction I have ever been involved with. Quick, clean, easy, and straight forward. No shenanigans. I will buy my next F car (or any other car) from CNC in a heartbeat. Cam and Liz are classy and professional. Do it!!!

    Traded my 430 Spider in on my 16M, entire $ deal took less than 3 min. Craig, his father and everyone at CNC treated me like a long time customer. would not hesitate in buying again.

    I spoke with Cam a few weeks ago, telling him that I was looking for a particular 911 and after he told me it was sold, he continued to tell me about others cars for sale, including an Audi R8, despite me telling him that I was looking for 911s! I didn't like that, seems like a very desperate tactic.

    This aside, CNC does have a good selection of cars, I would just ask to deal with someone else.

    There is nothing wrong with Cam offering ideas of some other cars they have for sale.
    All you need to say is you are not interested. As simple as that.
    I have recently been in touch with Cam and CNC. I completely disagree with your comment.

    If someone is wishy washy about what they are looking for, then it's very appropriate for the salesperson to offer some other nice cars in your price range. However, if someone goes into the dealership knowing exactly what they want, it's almost an insult to the buyer.
    When I was shopping, I walked in to the dealers and said "I am VERY specific on what I want. I am looking for a 2002-2004 Rosso Corsa 360 Modena coupe. Do you have one, or know of one coming in soon?" The salesman sometimes said "no, but if you leave your name and number, I can contact you if one comes in"...That's a perfectly appropriate answer. Other times they said "no, but I have a nice convertible", or "I have a really clean yellow 360", or "I have a red 430", or "how about a like new Gallardo". I almost had to ask them if their hearing was ok. So, yes, I also find it annoying when they do that. Definitely not a bad tactic when a person doesn't know exactly what they want, bad tactic if they are precise.
    Next thing you know, we'll go to a pet store and ask for a Chihuahua, and the guy will say "no, but I have a really nice pit bull for you"

    Todd, the secret agenda to prevent you from purchasing a 911 has been uncovered! The true goal of this conspiracy is to have you change your username to "C4No." Right after that, I'll be changing my username to "NolongerAnM5guy." :)

    I went into CNC determined to buy a 911 turbo. Thanks to Cams knowledge I fell in love with a GT3 which I was so glad to have been introduced to (they did have a turbo). So I guess it can go both ways when a salesman shows all their inventory but I wouldn't go as far as saying you shouldn't go to Cam he's a great salesman to deal with.

    I bought a car from there. If you want more specifics you can PM me. Yes, they do have a good selection of cars but the staff is not the best to be honest. They are nice, but so are the baristas at Starbucks. First off, and I'm talking from real examples here, they do not do thorough inspection on all cars before they sell them. Cnc Is a very big dealer therefore you have to be very careful and take your car to a independent shop before you buy it. They move a lot of cars and therefore The quality of inspection suffers. One time I wanted to trade in my car and I got the runaround for days. The worst part is that one of the sales guys, and I'm not to mention names, told me 50 times he was going to call me back and never did, which is so unprofessional. Finally they decided to buy my car back and even gave me a bill of sale but then somehow they changed their minds three days later and I had to go and pick up the car.
    Maybe my experiences are isolated, but personally I'm not going to buy cars there anymore I will take my business somewhere else. Just make absolutely sure that if you're buying a car from them that you do the PPI somewhere else.

    Mr John Roberts. Just a Small bit of info , We offer PPi inspections out side of CNC motors. It can be wherever the customer wants. Either an independent or a franchised dealer. We even offer our flat bed free of charge to do them.

    Second, we looked and you do not come up in our advent system under John Roberts. Is that your real name? Advent keep records of every car we have bought and sold since we started 6 years ago...

    What was your car that you were selling us? What was the car you bought from us?

    Being big does not mean less quality , we have to work harder than ever to keep our reputation solid .

    Please give our owner a call to discuss any issues you have had. I know he will make a situation right.

    We love F chat, the Ferrari People and the whole Ferrari lifestyle , We welcome all people with open arms , buyers, people just looking and l future buyers who just are not ready yet . Any one who has been here knows that we do our best to help. We can not do every deal, we can not make everyone happy. But we do try our best.

    Once again John Roberts, Please give us a call. Ask for Liz if you want to speak to our General manager. CNC Motors has worked hard to have 6 years to all the positive feed back like we do.

    PS We have the best staff and management a store can offer.

    I discovered CNC about 2 years ago when I was thinking about buying a 360. Stopped in a couple of times to check out their inventory. I met Cameron, Frasier, Clay, Craig, Elizabeth and Rick. All were friendly and knowledgable people who enjoyed talking cars. Cameron showed me around and answered all my questions patiently. I settled on a 360 in their inventory and traded in my 08 Porsche. Elizabeth handled the paperwork and the transaction couldn't have went smoother. I hate buying a car at a typical dealership. CNC was quite a relief. I believe CNC conducts a safety inspection of their vehicles only. Who would want a PPI done by the selling dealer anyway? I requested a PPI be done by FastCars in Redondo Beach. CNC was happy to comply and Rick promptly transported the car the next day. FastCars did a great job on the PPI, some relatively minor issues were resolved right there and the deal was done. CNC then transported the car from FastCars to my home, about 125 miles away, and picked up my Porsche.

    A few months later I had a fuel pump and O2 sensor go bad. Rick picked the car up at my house, transported it to FastCars and when repairs were completed, transported it back to my house. Cameron even located a flashlight and screwdriver for me which was missing from by books/tool kit.

    My experience with CNC has been very, very good. So much so, that if I ever do a trade-in, it will be at CNC. One day my wife and I were taking a ride in the 360 along PCH and stopped in at Newport Beach Ferrari for a pit stop. I saw a car there that I briefly considered trading my 360 in on. My wife suggested that I wait for a similar car to come in at CNC. She was also that impressed with CNC. I went to their open house last Sunday, and had another good time. Randy.

    I bought my Scud and sold it back to CNC. Both transactions were clean and easy and I think the prices were very fair. They even went out of their way to help me resolve warranty issue with the fading carbon fibers in the engine bay. So, no complaints from me. I trust them, and that's a rare compliment for a used car dealership.

    I have bought two cars from CNC sight unseen and no PPI!

    Why would I do that, because the people at CNC are 100 percent honest and if you have any issue they will fix it,period! I know this because I had a small issue with my first purchase, I had it repaired and they sent me a check the next day, before I even sent them a repair receipt!! They are always upfront about a cars past and current condition.
    I have no affiliation to CNC

    If indeed John Roberts had a issue, did you give CNC a chance to resolve it??
    Why does CNC not have any record of your transaction??

    Like I said, my experience could be totally an isolated one. Yes, I am using an alias-like most of you, for that matter.
    My experience was not that good-and I can promise you that I gave the person, btw a key person there, several chances to get things right. He never called back when he promised he would, never picked up the phone when he said he would and never honored his promise on buying the car back. No big deal-I went somewhere else. Yes, when I bought the car the transaction was super smooth-duh-a dealer selling a car and making money, ya think it's gonna be smooth?!
    Also, and this is just me, but the feedback here seems nothing but stellar....I wonder how many "real" customers are really posting here. In all my years in the biz I haven't seen this much 100% positive feedback on a company the size of cnc
    You all didn't get rich by being naive.

    "the feedback here seems nothing but stellar....I wonder how many "real" customers are really posting here"

    One might also ask which competitor of CNC you work for. Someone who starts out on Ferrarichat by dissing a sponsor that others almost unanimously praise does not bring with him any built in credibility...especially when he apparently chooses to be anonymous even to the vendor.

    You chose to respond negatively in public. Why not give your name to CNC and let them respond in public regarding your transaction?
