    Are you sure? It sounds just like how they taught it at Carrio Law School.

    Did ChatGPT write this? He didn't even fill out where it told him to mention a reasonable time frame!

    per my reference it is like a $50 Fiver lawyer. funny that Carrio spent $50 to bring all this negative attention to them and I'll keep updating the thread. The thread was dead when the lawyers contacted me, now they've made it 100x worse. :D

    Posting under an unknown username on this thread to not catch the local fury of these guys and their associates. I live down here, I'd like to say I'm heavily in the know with the local dealers and body shops that regularly encounter carrio.

    Carrio is a dealership that is well known in circles to sell duds. They have cars sitting on the lot right now, that if I was to ask in my circles, are definitely lemons. Last I heard last month, a 488 has trouble with its transmission and regularly skips 4th gear and such.

    The question of how they have so many great cars, if they're so crap, is easy. Carrio has easily built a social media following and a face for the new money kiddies to come buy(lease) their exotics, with no income showing, no nothing. Its a shady man's dream place. Many dealers send their exotics their way to get better odds at selling; consider them a large auto broker.

    Their financing is hilarious. The complaints of the shady financing is easily subverted by them by telling people they are not the bank. But they are. The bank is owned by the same group of individuals, who give you this massive 200 page booklet to sign when you finance with them. Predatory loans, $10,000 application fees, are regular occurrence.

    Wonder why you see the same cars somehow show up in their inventory time and time again? Carrio makes all their money from repos. Using your car as a rental, as many of these miami kiddies do? Repo'd instantly.

    I have never bought a car from them and likely never will, even if I am able to get the information on which is good to go or not. The fact that these people have zero ethics, is enough for me to not ever want to give them business, even for free.

    I'm not sure how many times they've done this - but supposedly, a lamborghini given to one of these course seller kiddies was just a whole insurance fraud. They knew the car was bad, they gave this kid the Huracan to burn, and he did just that - he lit the Huracan on fire in a public road. Kid got his views, Carrio got rid of the car.

    Hopefully karma restores balance to this world and deletes this dealership off the planet.

    There has always been good dealers and bad dealers. I think that the easy money of a few years ago is gone so there will likely be an increase in the latter kind of places.
    Need to do research when buying on the dealers and dealer ownership history when shopping for an expensive car.

    Oh I got way more scandalous drama, but I hope that's enough to knock sense into some folks.

    The land down here in Florida is ripe with these types of people, but Carrio really embodies them all in a next level. Even the sales tactics used are just so predatory on the insecure. They regularly tell clients that if you don't drive anything better than a Lamborghini Huracan, you're a nobody in this world. "You'll never get a network."

    Who wants a network full of financially irresponsible, 20 something year old course sellers? Do they try and scam each other? And honestly, who wants to network with me, a financially irresponsible old man who buys exotics instead of growing his money more haha. (I like you guys though)

    Don't be fooled by their great prices. Always adhere to the "If its too good to be true, it isn't true." rule, especially with people who are trying to sell you things.

    They're not even great prices. They're market prices for ****ty cars.

    South Florida is a hell-hole for buying exotics. Without getting too specific, even the big guys are the shadiest people you've ever worked with.
