what dealers in OKC will match MacMulkin or Kerbeck? I'm looking for a '15 coupe Z51 Mag Ride, PDR. I have a trade so can't deal with east coast mega dealers.

Tally Ho

I am in Florida and bought both of my C6's from Kerbeck. I will be buying a C7 Z06 convertible from them when the time comes.

Transportation of automobiles is an every day occurrence with hundreds of vehicle transports on the road daily. Do your research on transport companies, and be very careful with any transport "broker" that you work with. Some are good and some make promises for pickup and delivery dates that they cannot fill. Truck or transport brokers simply are paid a fee to put your transport request over a "central dispatch" system and trucking companies in the field bid or accept the rates. Truck "brokers" do not own trucks, they are simply an agent to find a transport company for you.

To eliminate a lot of hassle, most car dealerships can make arrangements for the transport of your vehicle from their respective dealership. Most vehicles are transported on "open transport" vehicles/trucks. All manufacturers use "open transport" trucks when delivering new cars to dealerships. Shipping in an enclosed truck is the owners choice and you can add up to 1/3 more in cost for an enclosed trailer. Reliable and Intercity are the big names in enclosed transport of vehicles and most are all high end cars, $75,000 in value and up.

Be sure to go to www.transportreviews.com and look up the name of the trucking company and see the reviews posted by the paying party.

Corvettes are shipped from the plant in Bowling Green with a basic car cover on them, most new cars are wrapped in plastic to protect the cars surfaces. If you are transporting the car from a forum vendor dealer, have the Corvette shipped with the original transport cover. Costs to ship currently run $.75 cents to $1.00 per mile delivered for what is called "door to door" delivery, right to your residence.

Transport companies should to be licensed, bonded, and insured for transport otherwise don't use them. A Bill of Lading form is signed by the dealership before it goes on the transport, and any scratches, dents, and other problems are so noted on the Bill of Lading, and signed before any trucker will load the car. Once delivered the buyer can inspect the vehicle for any damage that may have occured during shipping. In all my experiences having vehicles shipped, I never had any damage reported.

Hope this info helps.

My 2015 Corvette is currently on a transport as I write this. Here's the C7 being loaded at Cable Dahmer Chevrolet in Independence, Mo. Delivery tomorrow Monday 1/19/2015.

[QUOTE=rmorin1249;1588652434]I took my BMW M635 Euro out for a drive today before winter weather arrives tomorrow. Stopped at 2 Chevy dealers to see if they had any allocations. Neither one had any Corvettes in stock and neither had an allocation. I will probably make a trip over to Kerbeck this spring just to get a chance to see the various colors in the flesh. When I decide exactly what I want I'll email several dealers and see what they can offer. Thanks for all the feedback. It's good to know there are several dealers out there that are easy to work with and treat their customers with respect. I'm a retired Army Colonel, been driving BMWs since the 80's but have always wanted a Vette. I like the process of buying a car but only if I am dealing with an honest dealer and salesperson. The Corvette has now matured into the kind of sports car that I have been waiting for Chevrolet to build. I'd like to do a factory delivery but no way I'm going to pay GM almost $1000 for the privilege of picking up my car at the factory and saving them the cost of bringing it to me. I've picked up several BMWs in Munich and saved money even after figuring in the cost of the trip but GM wants the customer to pay them just for the opportunity to tour the factory.

I think if you ever had a Museum delivery you would say it is the best money you can spend. There is a lot to it and a amazing experience. It is way more than just a factory tour. Watching your car being built is also a life time experience.

It's a no-brainer. The one an hour away. You'll be glad U did come service time.

Same goes for any forum dealer that's just an hour away, even if NCM delivery.

Mr. Gizmo

Kerbeck is ok. I tried to work with them on the purchase of a c6z. However they want to charge for state sale tax in the state you will license the car.

You could also try reliable chevy in springfield mo. -- although its quite a distance from you, -- they were offering smoking deals on c6zr1's they were selling 125k zr-1's for 90-95k brand new.

Kerbeck never made it clear to me how they would pay sales tax they collected from me to the state the car would be registered and licensed in (of Missouri in my case). I was afraid I would get double dinged on sales tax. by kerbeck and then by Missouri again.

Plus I sold my c4Zr1 myself, and had a notarized bill of sale on that car, to deduct from the purchase of the c6z therefore lowering my sales tax obligation. They were unwilling to help figure out this conundrum on the sale of the c4zr-1 and getting the sales tax reduced I would pay to them(kerbeck).

I ended up buying from a dealer about an hour away from my home for about 3k less than kerbeck was going to sell me an identically equipped car --- and got the sales tax deduction from the sale of the c4zr1. - plus I saved about 2k on the sales tax.

Not to worry. You don't get double dinged on sales tax. Once you pay, the home state will credit you for home state taxes paid out-of-state. That's all done under reciprocity agreements between states. They are required to collect tax from your home state.

But hey, if you got 3K less than Kerbeck PLUS the deduction from the selling another car yourself, more power to you.

okaythen

thanks so much! and congrat on your car! what color is it? fun starts tomorrow have fun man!

I think I saw someone say in this thread that even though they did not trade the car to a dealer and sold their car to an individual that they submitted some form to the state and just paid the sales tax on the difference between the two cars.???

2HD's2vettes

I would also like to know about this? I never understood how a car gets taxed at the point of each sale per individual. I paid sales tax on 60k when I bought my C6 vert. brand new, then they collect it again each time it's sold as a used car again.

jksvet

In Missouri, you have 6 months from the time you sell your car, until you purchase a different vehicle, and you only pay the taxes on the difference. Very simple form you can pick up at the license office. Just have to provide a bill of sale. If you purchase a new vehicle, and then sell a vehicle within 6 months, you can complete a from to get refunded on the tax difference. Actually, it's not just for cars either. I sold a car and will be buying a boat, and I can use the car sale against the sales tax on the boat. Obviously, each state is different.

I've bought many vehicles from another state.The dealer collects the money and pays registration,tags,taxes in the state that you live.Thats just the way they do business.

4U2ENV

I have never seen a car dealer collect the money to pay for registration,tags,taxes in the state that you live. It's the tag agency that does that. I live in Oklahoma, if I go to Texas, I pay for the car bring it back here, then pay for registration,tags,taxes here only, not in Texas cause it's where you live not where you purchase the car!

all 5 dealers here will give you the credit union, military, teachers, student discount
