Exploring Supercar Markets and the Impact of Location on Dealership Success

Welcome to the Car Dealership Guy Podcast. In this episode, I speak with John Temerian, CEO of CURATED, a Miami-based boutique dealership specializing in rare, vintage supercars and catering to the ultra-elite. We discuss how a lifelong obsession with supercars turned into an impressive business, his wild search for "blue chip" cars, and how he became the go-to car concierge for the rich and powerful looking to build world-class car collections.
