Ouch! New '05s without a warranty at Valenti.

Stay away from Valenti.

I believe Lotus up the miles to 250 but, once the dealer is invoiced for the car, they have up to a year to sell it in order to have the full warranty or else the clocks starts.

After getting familiar with the lay of the land I'm even happier I stayed away.

They told me the same crap when I visited them. I went to HRM instead. Enough said.

I bought my car at Valenti. Bill Reugen and the folks there were great to me. I used them once for service, shifter re-call, and for an oil change. The oil change turned out to be around $250.00. Now I do all that myself. Anyway, I don't think they were bad to deal with at all other than the price of the oil change.
