Qvale Automotive Group Announces Enhanced Service Plan For Its 2000 Qvale Mangusta
    NEW YORK, April 19 Following its split with DeTomaso, the
Qvale Automotive Group today announced a revised service plan for the 2000
Mangusta in North America.  The new plan includes a two-year, unlimited
mileage warranty on parts and service, and features free transportation to and
from the Qvale Automotive Group's regional sales and service centers in the
U.S. within a 250-mile radius of each factory store.
    Vehicles requiring service will be picked up and tailored at no cost to
the nearest Qvale Automotive Group factory service point if the customer lives
within a 250-mile radius of the store.  For customers outside the 250-mile
radius, the customer will be responsible for transportation costs beyond the
250-mile limit.
    "We want to offer our customers hands-on, trouble-free, no hassle
service," said Bruce Qvale, president and CEO of the Qvale Automotive Group.
"Our plan is to have our own fleet of trucks and technicians handle the pick-
up, service, and delivery of our vehicles.  If a customer needs a trim piece
adjustment, for example, we'll send our technician to the customer's home to
perform the alteration.  If major repairs are necessary, the car will be
transported to one of our regional service centers, where Qvale Automotive
Group factory technicians, trained at our Qvale Modena facility in Italy, will
handle the repairs."
    Presently the Qvale Automotive Group operates four regional factory sales
and service facilities in North America -- Beverly Hills, California, San
Francisco, California, Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, and a soon-to-open facility in
the greater New York metropolitan area.  In addition, the Midwest will be
served by a factory service-only center located in Troy, Michigan.
    The Qvale Mangusta's enhanced service plan includes replacement
transportation available upon request.  There is no limit on the number of
service visits a customer may request during the warranty period.  At the
expiration of the two-year, unlimited mileage warranty, customers will have
the option to continue the service for a pre-determined fee.
    "Our plan is for complete customer satisfaction," said Qvale.  "If we have
to make three trips to please a customer, then that's what we'll do.  In
addition to the regular service, our technicians will be able to inspect the
cars and make adjustments or fixes that the customer might not have requested.
Our goal is to surprise and delight Mangusta owners, and to make them feel
that they're part of a family."
    The 2000 Qvale Mangusta will be on display in the Crystal Palace at the
New York Auto Show through Sunday, April 30.  Priced at $82,000.00 (U.S.), the
Mangusta is equipped with a full Connolly leather interior, and a Nakamichi(R)
MB-75 stereo with integrated 6-CD in-dash MusicBank(TM) changer.  The only
available option is 18-inch wheels and tires.
