Fords and Ferraris
I'm in the market for a family truckster and I came across this Freestyle nearby, but does anyone else notice something odd about the dealership? Check out the OTHER cars in the showroom. I would have to leave my manhood behind and wear a paperbag over my head to walk in there an come out with the fancy station wagon!

sigh, yeah, it would be tough, but you can't fit many kids (or afford any kids...or a house) if you left with a Ferrari.
If it's any consolation, I like my Freestyle.

Was that dearlership started when Ford began trying to buy Ferrari?
We used to have trade ins like this at the Lambo dealership. I would hop out of a LP640, right into a Ford Taurus. All about the $$$....

Local Mazda dealership is that way. Walk away from the mazda3 sedan and go sit in a brand new Quattroporte or Bentley or whatever.
I drive by that place sometimes, my Dad lives in Canton.

My hypothesis: the divorce was final, he didn't get custody. Now to buy something more apt at attracting young flat bellies.

Jeff's motorcars is near where I live. they have more than one location, and tend to sell the mundane stuff at one location and the exotic stuff at the other (apparently not in this case!). They are known for having really nice cars, though.
Interesting they have 2 of 14 Vector M12's. Ugly but rare.

If you sell used cars, anything can be in your inventory. My shop has cars ranging from F430s to Shelby GT350 clones to classic Land Rovers and to a beater 00 Focus.
The tone of a Ferrari exhaust is always a pleasant sound during a rough day...
the kia dealer I got my car from is now paramount kia hyundai mazda volvo vw porsche ferrari audi maserati
I think that's all, but there may be a few other brands in there. lol
I feel ridiculous looking up when I hear a deep rumble start up, thinking its my car, and seeing a cayman drive off. lol
The collision center I took my MS3 to is part of the Ira Motor Group, which includes:
Audi
BMW
Lexus
Mazda
Nissan
Porsche
Scion
Subaru
Toyota
My MS3 was hobnobbing with a Panamera, Cayman, and R8 while it was being fixed!

No they are know for having rebuilt salvage cars retitled as clean in KY. Stay as far away from that place as possible.
Maybe you can produce evidence of that? I didn't have time to go any further, but no negative links in the first five pages of google, and here's the BBB report:
BBB
You'd think if they were that bad there'd actually be some complaints against them...

That seems to be from 2008 on they have been in business a lot longer then that. That is for the one by the strip they were on Lincoln way along time before that. Not going in to details, but just have anything you buy checked out. Maybe in the last 12 -13 years they got less shady or carfax ended it.

They took the Ford in as a downpayment on a wheel for one of the Italians in the background.

You are talking about something that happened more than 13 years ago? Really? Sheez. No BBB complaints in 3 years at the volume of business they do is good enough for me. The Highline Ave location has a couple complaints in the last 3 years, but they were all resolved, and the Wadsworth location has none. In my opinion, That doesn't add up to being a shady dealer that is "know for having rebuilt salvage cars retitled as clean in KY".
Love people that make statements like that - but won't go into details....
i can tell all i need to know about that dealership just by looking at how shiny the tires and engine bay on the listed car are.. they are a used car dealership that polishes turds to a high luster and sells them for more than they are worth.
In reply to novaderrik:
That's one of the most ignorant things I've heard on this board in a while.

How dare they clean up the cars before selling them!

A quick check on AutoTrader shows 12 of the same car he is advertising within 75 miles of me. All right around the same price they are asking, so it seems like they are in line with what they are worth....
asking price does not equal value.. and i'll never buy a used car with really shiny tires or a too clean engine bay. i know people that get paid to polish those turd to a high luster, and i've heard stories.
