Saw them puting up the sign this am. I'm excited to have this opening in the town I grew up in.
I heard it is just a satellite dealership. Basically, just a small showroom where you can order cars. They will be able to set up transport back to FoH for service, etc etc. Is this true?
Yep, just like the one in Austin. Having the ability to drive by an Fcar showroom no matter the size though and on a regular basis is a pretty cool thing to me though.......
So, Ferrari of Austin is a satellite of FOH? I gathered from their web page that there was some linkage between the two, but could not tell the extent of it…T
Yup, Houston is the mother ship and Austin and San Antonio are part of the Risi franchise. FoA has a small but adequate shop and a great master tech. Not sure about SA
Wrong. Austin is 1/2 Risi, 1/2 Vega. Vega bought SA from Barrett. He's got 4 stores in MX, and does business like he's there. Other than the felony I've been told of, and completely shafting real buyers, preferring to reward flippers, he's rude. Deposit on LaF for 12 years, 6 new Fcars since '01, none in last 3 years since wife battling Ca and my marrow failure, and 3 flippers got LaF's. Offered me one at "market", or if I "greased" him. He's plenty greasy enough. FNA kisses his azz dt MX. I'd rather buy from Risi, or 1/2 Risi, than deal with V. Screwed since home dealer, but what can I say. Employees at FoSA good guys, but you're loyal to guy who signs checks. Hope Risi does well at new satellite. At least he races, doesn't seem to reward flippers.
They only had them in there for a day or so. Just drove by again and it looks like theyre doing some kind of work on the floor again....
We have OTHER choices in Austin, Crall's new place, Moorespeed......sorry for the hijack. Glad Dr. K. corrected the description of the SA situation.
Talked to Joe Maniaci at FoH and he told me they just had a driving day at FoW last week. Wonder how it went?
