    We've been on the 360S list for... 3 and a half years, since early 2001. They won't even tell us where they are, and now they say we won't ever get one so not to worry about it. Then they transfer us to the 430 list out of good heart, I suppose, and now we are 14th on that. Not bad... until you realize they only get 8 a year. The car comes out in two years, we won't have a new car for 4 years. We have been waiting for 3 and a half, so we will have been waiting for a car for nearly 8 YEARS before we get one. And we might not ever get it.

    They say people have been on the 430S list since 2000... before the 360S came out! I call BS on that one. And if people have been on the 360S list since 2000 and are getting transferred, I say we have a problem here.They will wait 8 years, just like us, to get a car. This is ridiculous...

    It's also like we've never dealt with them before. My dad has bought 8 or 9 cars from them, 7-8 Ferraris and 1 Porsche. The cost of these cars must total near one million dollars... and yet they treat us like trash, won't fix the 360 for us, and my dad wasn't invited to the grand opening of the new FCI...??

    Yes we did.


    My recomendation would be to call Sport Auto and speak to Steve Barny. He may know what is going on. And even if he does not, he is a strate shooter and will not BS you.

    Ya... I love SportAuto. The only experience I had there was great! Mr. Rapp and his Enzo stopped by and let me 'play' with the car. I just had to ask and it was mine. The guys there let me sit in any car I asked... 996TT, Murcielago, etc. I loved it there! The showroom was spotless and the cars shiny as ever!

    If I'm not mistaken there was a 512TR engine out of a car, that was a great thing to see! Steve B. was really nice to me and my father when we visited.

    I already mentioned to Steve II (^^that guy lol) that SA should sell Ferraris... but I think FCI has the market covered :(

    I wanna work at SA in the summers... soon. You have a car wash bay that needs to be filled? If you run out of flatbeds or trailers I will personally break in or deliver cars after service, delivery, etc! Or maybe I could sit there. Or clean my own drool off the floor after I walk into the showroom... ;)

    I must say waiting 8 years for a car is a wee bit much. We are trying to call FoA, but I keep forgetting. I'll call Thursday (weehee teacher conferences, no school!)

    I personally would like to see SA and FCI join with SA personality and service. It sure would make almost every other Saturday when I visit the two easier. Instead of having to go to two places would only have to go to one.

    Oh and I saw Bob's Enzo for the first time today it was at FCI for servicing

    Well....having a Ferrari franchise at Sport Auto isn't going to happen. We are very happy to be with Lamborghini. We try to work with FCI whenever we can. I am glad you guys enjoy coming by our place. You are more than welcome and please please please let us know you are a F-chatter when you stop by!

    Ciao'
