*Warning* Carrio Motor Cars. Do not buy from them.

Wow...$8,100 for a windshield. Yikes.

Did they send you any walk around videos of the car before you bought it?

 

Did you get a PPI or see it in person? Dealers like this thrive on buyers not performing due diligence. As seen in a couple other recent stories, they will prey on this.

And did they want you to sign a “do not discuss” agreement?

Carfax for the body Damage? No disclosure of the OBD scan or the rough running due to misfiring? Certainly misrepresentation ..

 

I thought this dealer sounded familiar

 

The owner there is a scumbag, this is a regular occurrence with them. Other threads here with similar experiences.

 

You should always meticulously check a dealers reputation and reviews online, this isn't 2001 anymore where dishonest dealers can get away with this kind of unethical behavior..especially in tight knit car communities with online forums etc...Sucks you have to deal with this now.

 

Dont trust anyone!

 

I just looked at this dealer’s web site. They say they’ve been in business since 1987, and that may be but they haven’t been in the business of selling exotics since then, at least not in Ft Lauderdale. If they were I would have heard of them. Their location is in a western suburb of Ft Lauderdale, certainly not an upscale location in the eastern parts of the county, in a fairly run down high-traffic corridor. Finally, their web site says they are a Ferrari “OFFICIAL DEALER” complete with a cavallino logo. The owners of Ferrari-Maserati Fort Lauderdale might be surprised to learn this…..also FNA.

 

Never heard of them but their inventory is huge and expensive. Must not be a small operation. 21 Ferrari with SF90,Speciale Aperta..RR, Lambos

 

On Cars.com, 30 of 57 reviews were 1.0 (53%) out of 5.0 stars!

Don't see how this operation could have any vehicles over 7 figures! Looks like many of the higher end cars must be vaporware.

Here is one example that was over 1.0 star...

Anyone can floor plan…

 

Sorry to hear of your experience and thank you for warning us.

I have seen this name many years throughout ebay and other auto sales sites. I believe I have heard of their shady dealings before ...

 

Sorry for your experience.

Like I tell everyone, be very, very careful when buying anything from Florida. Most of these dealers are crooks. If things ever do catch up with them all they do is change company names and or location. Rinse and repeat.

Florida, the sunshine state for shady people!

 

Sounds like a CNC motors clone...

 

Just sayin' -

any CNC updates?

 

From what i remember CNC just grew too much and got ****ed when Covid crashed the market? Or am i wrong? They seemed to be pretty successful before covid. But i could be way off.
From what i remember they were buying cars with the $ from consigned cars when it started to go south?

 

I think there is a lot of information in the CNC thread and the internet about what was occurring even before Covid. All Ponzi schemes go south when an economic blip happens. That's how they get exposed. They get created in economic booms and come to bear in economic downturns.

 

I bought my 2009 F430 from CNC just 2 weeks before Covid hit.
I think Covid wrecked their business. They were paying their bills and moving 100 cars a month apparently. I was one of the lucky ones and didn’t get screwed.

I bought my 488 and my G63 from Carrio sight unseen both were good maybe just bad luck I had a Continental before and I got it from a Bentley dealer and had a million issues.

 

Jacob Carrio is the biggest scumbag I've ever dealt with. Im not going to get into it, I'm just leaving it at that.

 

I know them quite well. The actual owner is Jacob’s Dad, Louis. I stumbled in there to see a Pista and F8 about a year ago as the store is only 1 mile from my work… Louis seemed like a really good guy, Jacob was charismatic to say the best…. I was going to set up a finance department for them in their store as they do not have one but I had trouble getting lenders as they do not own a new car franchise…. Then I even brought a friend to sell cars for them. And they totally screwed her over with commissions etc… the showroom and cars are amazing; like really amazing…. But yes, definitely some shady sh*t goin on that I won’t get into…. It’s a shame since they really have many incredible cars and beautiful showroom (appointment only)—
