I wonder what they know that we don't!BillyO said:I contacted the Fisker dealer here to confirm a Road Show drive next week and was informed they were no longer handling the Karma. They said the Road Show would still happen but they did not know which dealer would pick up the brand. He said they have 27 orders here. Fisker Consumer Affairs confirmed this.
That would be a drag .....having to drive 30mi for service.brian said:I suspect that having a dealership in both Dallas and Fort Worth was too many too close and that they'll just consolidate.

My Fisker dealer is roughly 30 miles north of me. That's not really "far" though ... it's one of those American West things. Admittedly I'd prefer it to be closer to SLC proper (say, 15 miles north), but it could be worse, it could be 50 miles south.BillyO said:That would be a drag .....having to drive 30mi for service.

When I bought this car, that was a given in my mind..and worth it! Otherwise, if that were the most important decision factor for each of us, we would be driving other cars. Dealerships had a difficult time I would imagine as did the brand with all the negative press initially. Today, some consolidation is taking place in some areas, and expansion in others. The Tampa Bay dealership sold off its Aston Martin position to replace it with Fisker. They have taken orders 10,15,20 in the first 3 months 2012. My Miami dealership has been outstanding! They send a flatbed to my home and if I wish, a loaner car to replace it while being serviced if a serious problem. They are 1 1/2 hrs away from me. THAT is service representing Fiskers reputation and backs the customer service pledge! In one aspect it is more convenient than a local dealership. Tesla has sold around 2100 cars and has been around for what 3 years now. They are valued at 4B and Fisker has just begun. Fisker and the dealerships are standing behind and doing everything right with private funding and distancing itself from the DOE. Bottom line for me..if someone offered me another car...Tesla(no nearby dealership),Porsche,Aston Martin,Ferrari,etc.. with a nearby dealership in exchange for my Fisker...no thank you! They are working every day to correct the issues and one by one they are doing so. I thank Henrik Fisker for this most beautiful car and Tom Lasorda for helping to make this comapany successful and prosperous for years to come. Everyday when I go into my garage to unplug it and drive it, I would do it all again with no hesitation!,:fisker:
