Afternoon PHers
I'm extremely fortunate to have enough money to purchase my first supercar. I.e. Ferrari 458 Spider.
I've never been in this position, so need some guidance to next steps.
Should i contact:-
- HROWEN
- Ferrari directly
- Car trader
- Other

What are the advantages?

At the moment i'm happy driving my 2009 Nissan GTR.

I appreciate i'll experience a hefty waiting list, but a dreams a dream.

Thank you

Dave

Hi

I'm a salesman and have the car you are looking for in stock today. Email me with your best price and once I've received your monies I'll have my shipping agent bring the car to you.

Many thanks in advance.

I've used Mr Glitter before for my Lamborghini, his service was spot on.

ooo, nice!
i can't offer any advice, but love a topic like this, keep us updated along the way with pics etc.
i'd certainly make the most of thee whole browsing round the showrooms, test drives and the like.
if i am ever in your situation, i'd go in my work clothes, and have the deposit in a carrier bag, just to see if this had any influence on how the salespeople were towards me.

when i brought my zonda i used a great service called:

http://www.refined-marques.com/

They can source all manner of cars that dont exist, including ones that are not even in production yet!

fantastic service, they flew me to monaco in their helimopper and he even let me shag his wife.

I would deal with them again!

Why would you contact HR Owen if you live in Nottingham? Surely Graypaul Ferrari would be your nearest dealer?

Good evening,

My name is Mr T Roll, and I am a Ferrari specialist. 458 spiders are hard to come by at the moment, but I know a certain Nigerian prince who may be willing to sell for the right price.

Normally however, I prefer to only deal with company directors, so it may be best you contact a Ferrari dealer.

Mr T Roll.

Ps, I can wave my Willy better than you wink

There's a hint of something. It's not jealousy, though.

I am sure all Ferrari will do is get your local dealer to contact you.

If I was in the same position as you, I would go into a few dealers and ask a few questions. Then decide who gets your custom.

I was treated like dirt in my local porsche dealer, so I took my custom to another dealer who treated me like an old friend.


Sorry if I'm telling you how to suck eggs.

I wonder how the OP bought his GT-R, and if he can manage to make a pot of tea without asking for advice?

He didn't buy his gtr and he can't make a cuppa - that's what Jeeves was for. However, the OP can't ruddy well afford Jeeves and a Ferrari, hence he needs our help.

Now stop asking questions and help the man!

Prove all these non-believers wrong and post up a pic of your GTR.

As with buying any new car, go to the nearest stealership. It's not that hard is it, really?

How did you manage to buy your GTR?
