Ferrari Mailing List: Re: After-action report on 2007 F430

[Stephen Sherman (sherman]

Interesting thread, I don't have the economic clout of some of you, but the 
dealer should have some respect for the customer.

I had a 2002 Avelanche bought from the same dealer as the 1999 Silverado b4 
that.

Our daughter had her 4th child now we had to up the number of seats from 5 
to 6.

To make the this long story short the dealer knew our monthly payment (GMAC)
I asked what kind of deal would they do on a trade ( this is 2004 gas prices 
had not gone crazy yet)
They came back with $600 a month for  6 years, I said NO
They came back with $500 a month for 6 years, I said NO and started to leave
They came back with $500 a month for 5 years my WIFE said YES!

End of story

She has put up with me since 1966 (married 1967)
She is a keeper.

So go alone is good advice but .....
