With all do respect, I am not sure why they would be categorized as a rip off artist. It sounds like your friend bought a conv't sports car in the summer and wanted to sell it in the winter, it is not uncommon for a car to be worth less at the time because of season. I personally know the staff @ D&M and they are some of the most respected people in the business. I purchased my new Z06 from them and an 360 spider last summer. But like I said, with all do repect....these forms ARE for expressing opinions.
