Default Folks in Orlando. Help me pick the right C5.

It looks like I am headed to Orlando on Friday to pick up my first Vette. I will have from Friday afternoon until Saturday evening to decide whether to finalize the deal. During that time I need to find somewhere in the area to get the car evaluated to make sure I'm not getting a basket of problems.

Can someone please provide a referral???

In Orlando: Next Level Performance in Altamonte, Corvette Masters in Maitland, of if you prefer a dealer, take it to AutoNation on West Colonial and let Keith look it over, one of the best Corvette techs in the southeast.

You are wise to have it evaluated and glad U got some recommendations.
Look sources up on mapquest.

Also review buy/sell/transport on page 2 of the Best Ever Thread (sticky) on top.

Welcome & GLWP

^^^ Agreed. CF can be an awesome tool. Ended up saving me about $7K on my last Corvette as I would've never known about supplier pricing. Would've walked right into a dealership and paid slightly under MSRP (like I did with my first C6).

Heard good things about Powertech Performance in St Pete. All I know of the other place you listed is they rebuild wrecked cars.
