Texas Dealer

Sorry, I've never heard of them but I'm sure many Fchatters in the Dallas area have.

 

I have bought a car from them. It has been a good car. Definately get a good pre-buyer done.

 

They are about 1/2 mile from my office. If you get to the more serious stages of negotiation with them, I could drop by and check it out for you.

 

I bought my 355 from them last year. Went okay, but didn't know then to do PPI. Have Norwood check out the car first. I heard shady things about them from some other car-guys I know. I had trouble getting my title, but it mainly was the fault of the dealer they got the car from. Just be careful.

 

funshipone,

I was in the neighborhood, went by Bent tree today to look at your 348 for you. Wasnt there, it was in detail. They said you had a pre buyer done at Norwood. They are very good, you can trust what Norwood tells you about the car. Good Luck. Post some pics if you buy it.

 

I emailed them this afternoon very politely with a legitimate question and got one of the most wise ass'ed answers ive ever received from a retailer. Ive bought cars and trucks from Texas before and I assured Mr. Smart Ass salesman id never buy a car from him or his affiliates and would just love to spread the word. Can't stand non constructive sarcasm from strangers, let alone used car sales man on a $400,000 Carrera GT, no less.

 

I will tell you this. Make sure you have everything backed up in writing on a legal contract. Make sure the PDI is done and all questions on it are addressed and answered(fixed) to your satisfaction before taking delivery. They have been known in the past to renig on things that are just discussed and not nailed down with a binding contract. Make sure they have the title...enuff said???

They used to sell a lot of gray market cars in the past and finding a history on them and good, clean titles is hard most of the time.

Otherwise, they do manage to get some nice cars.........

And did you notice that on their website they never checked the spelling on the homepage. In the first sentence, first word spelled experiance. Should be experience.......

 

John, care to share the email? I'd be interested in reading their reponse.

Man, all that would be enough to steer me away from them.

John B, I think you should look elsewhere, but agree on the PPI at Norwood's, thats where I had mine done.
