My other business, TradingPartners is all about purchasing negotiation (leveraging your buying power to get really good prices) and I am delighted to have had the chance to dust down the old sourcing skills this month. With Paul Brown (owner of the new e25 Leeds) looking to buy a brand new F430 Spider for his fleet, and myself looking to secure a new California with an early build date, we had a great time waving a £300,000+ cheque at various Ferrari dealers. Needless to say, in this market, he got a cracking deal - his F430 won't cost him in depreciation at all in its first year, and I secured a California with delivery for...week after next!!!!!! I have not got a picture of the California since it has only just been made.
However, I have got a picture of my other purchase: A new Maserati GranTurismo S - which arrives next week.
With my Summer spending spree finished, Ilke wants her turn so now we are off to Turkey for our holidays. But in case you were wondering how you will get through the Summer without my soundbites, I am delighted to introduce my first Guest-Blogger, Dan Smith - e25's National Franchise Director...
