Classic Auto Sales in Omaha

I wouldn't buy an F-Car from them. Plus, that 85' Testarossa has been sitting there for like 4 years, in that same spot at the back right of the showroom. (So the belts havent been moving!) I'd keep looking.

And plus MOFO, you better not buy a TR, I wanna be the only guy in town with one!

 

I agree on staying away from the TR Red. One of my college classmates worked there and said that there were a slew of problems. The belts wern't the only thing if I recall.

I also remember them selling a 348 back in 2001 (or was that 2003). From what I understand that was a repaint.

 

I tried to get Bob Woodhouse to be a Ferrari dealer as he sells about everything else, but he didn't seem interested. He sells enough Vipers, I figured he'd do well if just on the maintenance-side for a Ferrari biz to pay for itself.

 

how much are they asking for the TR?

 

Woodhouse picked up the Porsche franchise, didn't they...


Tom... you're in Lincoln... do I know you?????

 

According to Woodhouse.com, yep.

 

I had a bad experience with them a few years ago. I was looking around their place and told them that I was looking for a convertible M3. The head sales guy looked at me funny and said that they never made a convertible M3. I told him that I was pretty sure that they did because the previous week I test drove one. He then told me that what I test drove was a chop-shop car. I am not the type to argue something out but the guy was so full of it. I calmly aked him if he was sure and he said, "I tell you what buddy, lets just call the local BMW dealership and ask them". I said fine and he called them, whoever he got on the line agreed with him and he said thanks and hung up. Knowing that I was correct, I asked him to bet $1,000 on it. He said fine in front of all the other sales guys. I then left and came back with pics and info from the internet. I calmly went inside and put them on his desk and told him that I would gladly take a check. He told me to get the hell out which I did and have not been back since. Other guys there I am sure are nice but this guy was not.

 

Lol, what a great story! Yea, I would stay away.

 

Don't worry, anyone in Omaha that knows ANYTHING about cars avoids the place.

 

What Wiskey said to hell with 'em

 

Achtung!!

Has anyone had any recent experience with Classic Auto Sales in Omaha NE? I'm thinking about flying in to see a car and don't want to be surprised.

 

Hello,

Can I ask the people around lincoln to post which F cars they drive. I live in Lincoln and never see any? Maybe I'm in the wrong spots. Someday I would love to own a 308 QV when I can afford it. Thanks for any response. Good to know that their are some others in the same area with the mighty Ferrari. Do you really want Woodhouse as a dealer? I'm just asking because of some of the service work experience I've received in the past? Thanks

Pete

 

it is true, i know him!

 

there are a precious few, but I do not currently know any of them... at least I don't think so.

I know there are a number of cars in omaha, but they don't appear to get driven that often.

Lincoln is only now really embracing BMW as "justifiable" brand, it will be some time, or possibly never, before an f-car would be acceptable to drive around town. I've been at the country club on a friday night in June where the nicest car was either an E320 or a Jag S-type... or my wifes old 5-series touring... its pretty bloody sad.

Lincoln people will spend 1-2MM on a palacial home, and drive a Lexus ES to work every day... it makes me ill... I used to catch an immense amount of flack over my 27,000-dollar Z3, I can't imagine what driving around with a 355 or 550 would do...

 

I agree its pretty friggen sad. Then again I'm very sure that some of the people in Omaha don't take thier F cars out for the same reason that you mentioned. Personally I say F'em. If you have a F car (or any other exotic) who cares what a bunch of dim-witted yuppies think. Its your car and you busted your ass to get it.

Then again this IS Nebraska where not being a part of the flock is probally a criminal offense.

 

Tom, My name is Scott and I have a shop in the Kansas City area (Stilwell) and do Ferrari service. Rosso Motorsports is the name. When you get a car or if you need any help with finding one please let me know I would be glad to help. My number is 913-681-2220

 

Well guys...

Someday (I did say someday) When I have the funds, a 308 quattrovalve will be in the garage. I don't know when, but when the funds become available I will try to buy one. I'll drive it in Lincoln, but it will stay as pristine as I can keep it. I've always wanted one, and don't ever see any around here. Maybe someday I can provide an F-car for others to look at in this area?

I'm in Omaha and I really doubt there is an F40 or an Enzo here.

I know a few guys with TR's/512's and 348's, and that's about it.
I'm not saying there is definitely NOT an F40 or Enzo here, but I'm pretty well-connected and NOBODY I know has even heard of one here. (I never say never).

One guy tried to tell me there are 200+ Ferraris in Omaha, but we have figured there are closer to maybe 20.

As far as Woodhouse goes, any problem I've had they have taken care of. One time I told them 'do not go over X dollar amount without my permission', and they went over by double. I reminded him that I told him 'do not go over X amount before you consult me', and they cut it in half.

And, I've been trying to talk Bob Woodhouse into trying to deal Ferraris, and what does he do ? He buys the Porsche dealership a year after that.
Did you know Woodhouse sells about 10x more vipers than anyone else in the entire nation ?

 

both the enzo, f 40. 288 gto.tr. mondial.328. boxer. are all in omaha..i guy has all of these in his garage..... pics to follow..i seen them and have pics...i have a 348.. there is probally 80 ferraris in omaha. i am a ferrari nut..

 

Unisys?

 

Yes,

Omaha has a much better chance of F cars than Lincoln. We don't have the money down here like Omaha does. Thanks for any and all responses. I think the conclusion is that all the F-cars are in Omaha.
