    Hey gang!

    Has anyone ever had any dealings with Motorcars International out of Missouri? They seem to have a really nice 2005 Red 360 Spider with really low mileage. I'm interested in purchasing one like that. Thanks!

    I second that.
    Depsite being in the middle of nowhere except for the Fed prison where all terminally ill are sent (Gotti ,etc.), they get first rate cars. Have been to the showroom on occasion. Almost bought a flatnose 930 from them several years ago. A one car just did not pull the trigger.

    I really appreciate all of your comments. What intrigues me is that they listed it as a rare 2005, so I think I'll check it out. Thanks a lot!

    I recently bought my car, sight unseen from MCI. All in all, it was an OK transaction. It took some prodding from me, but they ultimately came through with their obligations.

    PM me if you would like more details.

    There were less than 16 2005 spiders that came to North America as I recall.

    I have purchased many cars from them. They always have nice cars. Great folks to deal with. Highly recommended.

    Excellent organization. Had a great experience with them. Bob Cann (owner) and Randy McCall (now at Lambo Houston - part of the MI family of Companies) are top notch!

    I have done alot of business with them, first class guys. You can trust what they say, the owner, Bob, has been in the highline business for a long time and knows what a nice car is..

    Unfortunately, I will have to disagree. I purchased a car from them sight unseen based on recommendations like the above on FChat. However, as a newbie at the time, they took advantage of my naivete. I will never purchase another car from them. If you have absolutely no other options, I would highly, highly recommend an independent PPI on the vehicle of interest.

    IMHO you never buy any exotic car from anyone without an independent PPI.

    Care to share your experience with us? It's unclear how they took advantage of you. Did you pass on a PPI when you purchased your car from MI? Was the car misrepresented?

    I'm interested to hear as well since none of us seem to know who you are. Was this about the Stradale your profile lists you as owning now?

    ...now where did I put my popcorn emoticon... :)
