Indeed. I hear good things about them. Unfortunately, during my hunt, they were one of the least helpful* dealerships. Mostly because of flaky communications (callbacks and emails). I guess it all worked out, though, because I ended up *not* buying their car, which means NJM63 got to enjoy one. And I still have mine incoming, which means I get to enjoy one soon.

Everyone wins.

(Except it'd be nice if someone from Ray Catena was more consistent with respect to communication. If you guys have salespeople you'd recommend there, for future purchases, please PM me their info. Thanks!)

* Granted, not less helpful than those that wanted me to participate in a bidding war with other buyers. I have a list of those. Scumbags.

Soon. Very soon. It's within smelling distance. Can you smell that? Smells like... Victory.

There's still more waiting for me, though. After it gets detailed and 3 coats of sealant, it's going to Premier for a full wrap, tint, and V1 hardwire job. That's a 5-8 working day endeavor. :\

Although I didn't get my car from "Uncle Ray", their AMG specialist was generally very helpful. I think that selling a car for delivery so far from NJ may have negative consequences for the dealership. This may explain a few things.

Nevertheless, they should have been prompt and polite to all inquiries.

Is yours on a truck? I got the impression it was a bit before mine in line...

Mine went through the VPC Friday and is expected to load on truck Monday, then about a week to Texas.

@BK63amg Jay? I just spoke to my brother and he was telling me about how much of a beast your car is haha. We def need to link up and get a couple runs in once I pass the break in period.

@LangeOne Ray Catena has a great dealership down there in Edison. I was really impressed. You are right - this is either the second or third one they have sold.
Yes, sir!

What a perfectly wonderful car! I absolutely love it! I wanted one so badly, but my dealer was asking 30k over sticker for the only one on the show room floor. They said 20K over sticker, special deal for me. So now I'm modding my car slowly but it will never be a real factory Black.

Hey Nick! Welcome. I hate you and I don't even know you. Just kidding! Your car looks amazing. Perfect color combination. Ray Catena is awesome. Greg G is the man. Hopefully you dealt with him. Enjoy it and drive it in good health!
