A few miles up the road in the "amazing" town of Goshen, Indiana there was a new car dealer that just opened up. In this part of Goshen, most of the car dealers have 3 employees. One that doesn't speak English. One that does, just. and one owner that drives a wrecked title Mustang that's technically on consignment. This one is different, this specializes in second hand exotics.
Goshen may not be the most glamorous of cities, but there is some good money in the area, and until now, the only place nearby to buy anything upscale is in Chicago. The dealer is "Toy Barn of Goshen" the second in a chain originating in Dublin, Ohio. The opening event was a hit.

Ferrari 360
Maserati GranTurismo

Gated shifter FTW
The owner had the cars unlocked and encouraged people in attendance to climb in an use their sweaty muggle hands to row through the gated shifters. They hope to bring in more modern big name cars as time goes on and I hope they succeed. Good luck Toy Barn of Goshen!

Very nice looking facility. Are they only going to sell cars or service them as well?

Just moved to South Bend from NY. Guess I'm going to have to check it out!

I believe they will service after they get kind of settled into the building and get their staff around

You know what I can never figure out? Where do these dealers find their cars?
I wish I could open a small exotic car dealership. But I don't know how to find clean cars under market value. I've heard that it's not easy to find these cars at auctions. A lot of the good cars never make it to auction. So I guess you need to build relationships with people in the industry to find out about cars for purchase before everyone else does?

I used to work for a high-end used car dealer in Owings Mills, MD (middle class but slowly decaying Baltimore Suburb), and a majority of the vehicles sold were shipping to people all over the US and World.
If you're selling Honda's and whatnot, location is important to buyers. However, if you're selling niche vehicles the car matters a whole lot more than proximity to the dealership.
I follow this dealer on eBay and I love seeing their new arrivals every week. Hopefully this dealer lasts!
