    Just wondering where I can go to find good quality used Maseratis/Ferraris in Houston OTHER than FOH. I don't think I can deal with those sales there.

    Well...let's see, I have bought two Ferraris now...both from Dallas. I suggest Dallas if you are looking for one of the more working class man models.

    There is nothing wrong with FoH. I am not saying he has never made anyone mad, I am saying you should go there first. If I was in the market for a very late model 355 or newer I would buy it from FoH. I'm not quite there yet career wise.

    The best option it to wait extremely patiently for a car being sold by a private individual locally.

    We purchased from FoH and if we were in the market for a second one that would be where we'd go. The professional, courteous manner in which we were treated before, during and after the sale (and still continue to be treated) is one that would be difficult at best to duplicate.

    I'm just not a big fan of 2 of their sales. Dallas may be the place to check out next. I'm not in a hurry at all.

    Anyone been to Lamborghini of Houston yet? Are they even open yet?

    Do you mean 2 of their salespeople? Surely you do not mean Joe. Call him first and set up an appointment and he will be very good with you if you are "really" interested. He will be good with you either way but his time is limited.

    When I get the car, I'm sure I'll service the car there; but most likely not buy from FOH.

    What are you looking for?

    There's a few Internet operations out of warehouses...I went to Collector Motors the other day...never heard of them until now...There was another place on the west Side that was mostly Pcars but had a few Ferraris, a 328 with less than 1K miles! Can't recall the name I was over for a Fchatter.

    I'm thinking of a 03/04 Maser CC or late 355 or early 360. But right now, I'm leaning towards the 997GT3. Not sure yet, a lot of choices in that range...

    I haven't been there in a while, but you might try

    K&K Vintage Motorcars
    9848 Southwest Freeway
    Houston, TX 77074
    Tel 713 541 2281
    Fax 713 541 2286

    Operated by Ken Daugherty. They also maintain John Bookout's (former Shell USA pres) collection. Emphasis on older Masers, but some Ferraris as well.

    Thanks for everyone advice. I'll look into them when I'm getting closer to buy.

    Kev, just wondering what color is your 360? And is it a F1?

    I guess his time really is limited, because Joe stiffed me twice on "appointments"......I'm with the original poster, avoid at all costs.

    Collector Motors in on the SW Freeway at Bissonnet.
    They have a 308GT4 that I looked at and they've had up on Ebay a few times, pretty rough for the kind of cash that want to get for it.

    No this was a warehouse operation just across from Vintage on Kempwood...Or right off of it... 7786 Blankenship drive..

    Only had one fcar a lonely 328GTS it was missing the badges and they really didn't know about FCars at all.....I knew more about it than they did.....

    They had so much video equipment for posting ebay ads I thought they might have dabbled in "other films" as well....LOL! Just my sick mind I guess, leaping to conclusions like that....

    Nice enough folks......had an convertible Aston Martin of some description.......I dunno.
