I've been chatting with a couple of different guys about the dealer vs. broker selling style for exotic \ collector \ unique cars, and I'm just wondering what everyone here thinks of this.
There are a couple of guys that run fairly small shops - 3 or 4 cars in inventory at any given time, maybe selling 4-5 cars a month, and a very different selling style. Their general feeling is that they can get the enthusiast \ passionate crowd easier than a dealer, and that dealers in general don't really care about the cars\community.
Would you say that you would agree with this overall? Are you generally pessimistic\skeptical about working with a car dealership? Is it different if the dealer is an independant vs. part of a chain?
This kind of spawned from something over on Ferrari chat, but also an ongoing conversation I've had with these guys for a couple of years. I've been talkin to you guys for a while, so I hope you won't candy coat it.
Hell if you have any other suggestions for things we can do to seperate ourselves, or feedback in general, I'd love to hear it.
