Friendly salesman, happy to let me drive a 360 without appointment (probably helped that I turned up in a 996 TT maybe) but used car prices are too high and they are not prepared to negotiate much, which lost them a sale on a 360 at the weekend, so I will buy elsewhere.

Always treated me well as a customer.
They ain't cheap - but I felt I got a good deal when I bought my 3200 there. Servicing was expensive, but they were attentive and listened and were reasonable with the lambda sensors when I had trouble.

Went in the other day and was a bit dissapointed with the stock selection - not a 550 or 575 in sight, and the main showroom had a bentley, porsche and aston in it! heresy

I its a nice enough garage and the salesman i spoke too was down to earth which is nice when most dealers look at me and think i couldnt ever afford the insurance for a ferrari dout about owning one. I have just cancelled my F430 with them as I wont take delivery till end of this year begining of next and im pretty sure ill get a l/m used one this summer for list. Wasnt nothing to do with them though i just got on the list too slow.

Well yeah I did. But I wanted a 550 I could sit in and check the headroom on - the superamerica (despite being is the only model bar barchetta that makes that pointless for me!!!

Always found the sales team to be very good but the service a bit lacking especially in returning phine calls!

:Hehe: Somehow my Aero didn't come with a butler. Must ring up the factory and ask for a spare I suppose!

Mr Tony, surprised the headroom is likely to be a problem - I am 6'5" and manage to fit ok........mind you if you are taller than that, then you will have a problem!

I'm only 6'2" so I figure I'll fit fine!
Will attempt to get over to VW on Sunday but not sure I can make it...
