Foreign Cars Italia in Greensboro

Have bought 3 cars from them and am looking at a fourth. Contact Hank Carpenter. Good people to work with. I also know a little about that car. The previous owner is a Ferrari club member and I think he traded it for a 430. I think he was the second owner and the car came from Atlanta. I saw it there Wednesday and it is a beautiful Gallardo and in excellent condition.

 

I don't know the car but I can vouch for fellow f-chatter Hank Carp who is a sales representitive there. He takes great care of his customers, is an owner (355 GTB), is very active in the local Ferrari club scene and is a genuinely good guy.

My father bought a great E55 AMG from the dealership and it was a great car.

They are always very polite when I visit even if they don't know me or that I am an owner.

I will also add that they never seem to have any bad cars there, probably quite picky about their inventory.

No affiliation.

In all fairness, their asking prices seem to be about 10% over what cars are normally selling for, but I assume you can negotiate and would personally not mind paying a small premium to deal with a reputable dealer more importantly the right car for you.

If you would like, I would gladly test drive the Lambo for you if they will let me.

 

Hank, Keith & Ronnie are great guys!

 

FYI Depending on your schedule, there is a great Ferrari event in WNC this weekend. Check out the Coach Memorial event in this NC section for more info. Great time, great roads, great folks etc.

Hank's a class act. Even as an onlooking enthusiast, I've had nothing but the best customer service from everybody at FCI.

Always a smile at the door, and everybody knows what there talking about, ready to inform.

Hank is a straight shooter!

 

Their prices are high...for sure..and they don't like to move very much.

HOWEVER...their customer service is wonderful. In fact, my experience with them became better AFTER I agreed to be a buyer...that's kind of rare. They already had me.

I just traded my Gallardo (not that one...mine was a spyder) in and bought a 430 spider. I'm completely satisfied with how I was treated and more than satisfied with the follow up service and care.

Class act.

 

Great people to deal with - especially Hank

 

I am not easily satisfied. Dealing with Hank and co. has been a great experience. Hank will tell you like it is and remain extremely professional and personable. He has an incredible passion for the cars he deals with. I understand that you're from NJ, but the service there is outstanding as well. I too am a Yankee (from LI) and dealing with them is a pleasure. I have bought 5 cars from them and every transaction was exceptional. BTW, that Gallardo is stunning, and a stick!

 

I drove Clayton's Gallardo. Awesome car!

 

yup..mine's the gray one.

LOVED the car...wonderful really...but I just preferred the "lighter" RWD over the heavier AWD...personal preference really..the car is incredible, perfect shape..and I'm a lunatic about taking care of the paint etc.

So...it'll be a great car for someone.

 

I have a 2008 911 s cab...

Trust me...there's no comparison to the Gallardo

I love the Porsche...it's just night and day. Just be aware that it's an attention MAGNET. I don't think there was one single time I was out in the car without finding someone taking pictures of it. This doesn't happen NEARLY as much in my F430.

Bothers some...I didn't care...but just be aware

 

Ask Hank to take you on Ray's Test Drive Route (the one I almost got bagged on!).
You will really be able to stretch the legs on that baby!

 

Scott... I hope you make it in on Monday! I'm looking forward to meeting ya!
I'm going on the Coach I run this weekend to South Carolina so I'll have some great pictures to share with you on Monday. We're leaving at lunchtime on Friday and it's going to be a great weekend.
I think you'll really like the color of the Lambo when you see it in person. It's really a nice color combo...
Call me if I can answer any questions... 336-516-3855

Thanks guys for all the kind words! I love what I do and it just wouldn't be the same without having the best clients to deal with. It's pretty cool to be dealing with the finest cars and also the finest people!
Thanks for all the support and I really appreciate your business... I just try to treat people the way I want to be treated and the rest just falls into place!

Hope to see a lot of you guys this weekend in South Carolina!

Drive safe...

Hank

 

I bought this 87 Slopenose from Hank last year. I would buy from them again, and i usually avoid Dealers!

As mentioned, I found their asking prices above most other F dealers when I was shopping.

Although I have heard good things about them. I am from SC.

 

Mr. Anderson,
I think you'll find if you give us a shot, we are just as competitive as any dealer in the country. Remember, you said it, "asking prices"... A couple of things that make us different...
1. A lot of our inventory is "consignment merchandise" and that means that the Owner has priced the car. Their price might be high but we tell clients to make us an offer and we take every offer to the owner, even if it's low. What this does is bring them down to reality on the value of the car but you have to call us to get this ball rolling.
2. We don't update our prices on a daily, weekly, or even a monthly basis... (don't ask me why, I'm just a salesman...) We might have a car that's been on the website for 5 months and it's still priced in the 5 month ago market... That makes it look like we're high but we'll sell that car at "market price"...
3. If you're in South Carolina, and you buy a Ferrari from me... when you need service or have a problem, I'll pick it up for free. Enclosed trailer it from your house to the dealer, fix it and get it back to your home... You pay for the service only! That's gotta be worth something...?

Thanks and if I can ever help, I'm a phone call away...
By the way, will you be going to the Coach I event this weekend? I would love to chat further...
