Manhattan Motorcars...

I checked out there showroom Saturday night. They have a few porsches like 996 40th anniv etc...What was really special was Lambo Murci Anniversary Edition, 1 of 16 for US, the color looks great in person in addition to the gunmetal wheels and two tone interior, Fab car, price is $300K. Those in NYC I suggest checking it out if you havent already.Note showroom was close and only looked from outside at 1:00 am in the cold.

h20tt,
Memories... When I was younger before I was in the business. I used to do that all the time.. Pier in through the window when MM was closed and drool over the cars... Now I actually get to sit in the cars test drive etc... Sell parts for them... Who would have known..
I think I'll stop by there this week and take a peek....

How is Manhattan Motorcars? Are they easy to deal with? Professional? They are offering me an C4S allocation slot?
Thanks.

Its funny, the older I get (Just turned 25)and the "better" the car I have (02 Turbo), the worse I get with my passion for cars.

I think it has too do to the fact that when your younger you really cant afford an exotic car, but when you get older its just alot easier to buy one and you dont lust after it so much. I remember when I was 16 I used to dream about m3's know I would not even "downgrade" to one... mabey Im stretching this. Although I think Im gonna get even sicker as I get older with automobiles, I have the new car every year ich...and a year has passed

Also if you pull up to a dealer in a hot car with reg. in your name they'll know you mean business regardless of age

drbill will become famous soon enough
Dr Jim and I visited Manhattan Motorcars last week . I know the general manager/owner very well since high school days ( my brother was best man for his wedding) his name is Brian Miller. very professional and honest. They have a 10-12 million dollar inventory- largest in the northeast. Jim and I saw 3 SL55'S, 4-5 Gallardo's, many turbo cabs and coupes, and too many Bentleys and Rolls to remember. Placed my order for my Lotus with him. building a new showroom that will be breathtaking...
