I was in start ups. We didn't have any of that. Lol

[@thereissomecoolstuff]

Thanks for the transparency Dan. No one can question your integrity. If I was a buyer I’d try and buy from you. At the very least I would use your consulting services on a local purchase.

[@clubracer6]

Thank you for sharing, this was awesome! Having a dealership is such a dream of mine, but right now, golden handcuffs keep me where I am. You should start putting your phone on DND after 8pm or some set time and have it come back on 30 minutes after you wake up. Health is everything and people will be fine if you get back to them early in the morning. I don’t think you are going to lose any serious buyers because you do not respond at 11pm to them.

[@normalguysupercar]

I do have it DND but I may need to adjust the time

Not your issue per say but as a YT subscriber and premium subscriber seeing your videos on top of my feed but marked as "members only" is a little annoying. In no way is it enticing to me to send more money to anyone and it's a bit counterintuitive. Love your channel been a sub for many years.

[@asdfasdfasdfasdeff]

Guessing it's YT's competition to patreon but at least that was invisible to us unless we wanted to pay direct.

[@normalguysupercar]

All it does is give members access early. No big deal

Owning your own business is a grind if you’re working it right, I’ve worked for myself for 25 years and others for 18 years prior to that and haven’t had a vacation or day off since I can remember, on the flip side I own multiple properties, 3 Ferraris and too much other crap I probably don’t need. I guess what I’m saying is be careful what you wish for you might actually get it.

[@normalguysupercar]

Lol correct

[@supercarsofportland4371]

That blue Scud is beautiful 😢

Yeah I love that color

[@garyleibitzke4166]

Dan, I liked what I heard, as in you've grown each year. That's a good sign. Nice to hear about Allen helping with the service side. Also a good sign. As far as getting more cars like the Mustangs would it be helpful to have a location where you'd have more visibility, such as a main street with decent amounts of traffic?

[@normalguysupercar]

Perhaps but I'm not sure it would help enough to justify the cost of another building

[@01coltcolt19]

That Lamborghini sold super fast!

It was never in the dealership technically, it was a pass through

Thank you very much

[@damirmumic4020]

It’s so hard to find a good honest dealership that cares about their reputation and cares about their customers and making sure that your customers are getting good cars and not getting scammed… good job guys keep up the good honest work and your business will grow… I’ll rather pay $10-$20k more for the same car from you guys than from some other unknown dealerships for $10-$20K cheaper because you don’t know what you getting they might buy a car that was damaged pretty bad and never reported to the insurance or carfax so they just fix it cheapest way possible and you don’t know what’s hiding under that previous damage… best of luck guys in 2025 and who knows some day I might purchase my 1st super car from you guys… I collect older Mercedes’s W126’s W140’s W124’s and some 90s and early 2000’s AMG cars maybe ill sell few of my classic benzes and one of my AMG cars to pick up a super car but you guys will be on top of my list to purchase from because of your honesty and integrity and reputation

Hey Dan, looking to buy my first exotic car, can you give me a quick sentence about your opinion on a Huracan vs a 458? much appreciated.

[@normalguysupercar]

458 is the best car ever made and the huracan is... well, a Lamborghini

[@martyhoare7558]

Hi Dan. Following you guys from Melbourne Australia. I am after your opinion. I am early 60s, semi retired, interested in buying my first Ferrari. I live in a busy city, car will be stored undercover. Which Ferrari would you put in the category as a daily driver? Not that it will be driven daily but ownership with limited fuss is desirable. Prefer auto, paddle shift not important. My desire to buy a Ferrari is not about speed and or performance. It’s more about buying the brand in a reliable useable format.

[@normalguysupercar]

Stick to the very modern Ferraris if you want reliability

[@WildBillJr]

Dan, your example of answering texts at 11pm... You are a business, 9-6pm. If they lose interest to sell or buy a car overnight it means they weren't going to do business with you anyway. We can get trapped by expectations that don't actually help, I'd say shut off that part of your life at dinner. Just make it clear to clients that after 6 it's next business day and I guarantee that the people who are serious will wait 12h overnight to make decisions.

[@asdfasdfasdfasdeff]

Understanding this is a luxury goods business sometimes those rules don't apply. People with money can change their mind quick so sometimes you do need to strike when the iron is hot.
