You have to read the thread. You are basically repeating what all the previous pages are about.

Let's just say I've had worse experiences with Porsche dealers. That said, virtually every Fcar dealer I've walked in was just obnoxiously pompous. I refuse to buy one of their cars just on principle because of the service. Lambo dealers are typically very enthusiastic, love to talk shop, the history of the company, having fun with the cars, etc.

Our Ferrari dealership is better as I stated than our largest Porsche dealership. They are friendly to all but they are arrogant about new car purchases because they've had their pick of clients for so long.

Lambo has to be nice no one wants em

You're going down

Let's just say I took my Gallardo in for an alignment at a Porsche dealer (who said they could do it) over 10 weeks ago. It's still not back and the most optimistic ETA says another 5-6 weeks.

It's a Lambo; not the space shuttle Discovery. Me thinks your local dealer is giving you the run around and/or complete idiots.

Could have built a jig and aligned it yourself quicker.
