    The dealer is reputable, I bought a couple of Ferraris from them, without any problems. The car looks clean and unmolested, at first I thought it was mine, but I looked at the Carfax and can only conclude that this may have been Doug Pironza's 348, he owned it a few months and probably traded it back in.
    Have the car inspected before you buy, if in need of service/clutch, you are looking at $7K minimum on top of their asking price.
    There are dozens of early 348's out there, well under $55K, so I would do my homework before buying from a dealer.
    I'd bet they gave the seller no more than $42K on the trade.

    Motorcars of Georgia is the local authorized Lamborghini/Lotus/Spyker dealer, so they should be pretty reputable. I had my car serviced there for awhile and had no complaints, except perhaps that their loaner cars were humble Tauruses and Sables!

    Nice guys. If you need someone to look at the car and take some detailed photos, just shoot me an email. I live pretty close.

    I almost bought a car from them. It was a 6.0 Diablo and it was in great condition but the interior was just too wild for me.

    It is a great place to deal with. They help us with the car show I put on and are great to deal with. We know Eric and he is a nice guy that knows how to treat people. Good Luck!!

    I know the owner Eric, he is a cool guy and really is a car nut like the rest of us.

    As with any purchase, check the car out before buying it. They are honest, but its a used car. Know what I mean?

    Like...on purpose? Michael, if you trade the 308 for the Lotus and some cash, you won't have the cash very long if you want everything to work and the car to go down the road under its own power and not on a flatbed. They didn't get the acronym "Lots Of Trouble Usually Serious" for nothing ya know. I also have 5+ years at Lotus new car dealerships too, so it's not hearsay. Best advise my friend....Run Forrest Run!

    I know this dealer they are trying hard to sell quality exotic cars. like any other used car you should get a PPI and do your research before putting down the money. As for a car fax on a Ferrari not very usefull your better with a car that you can find some owner history and documents.
