Default West Coast Chevrolet Dealerships...

Hello,

I was interested in purchasing a C7. Can someone recommend a dealership on the West Coast that gives pricing like Kerbeck's in New Jersey? I would love to buy from Kerbecks, but it's just to far of a drive back to Los Angeles. I've heard about their flatbed delivery, but if at all possible I rather not use that option. Any suggestions on any West Coast dealerships with good pricing on the C7?

Thanks guys!

West Coast dealers don't participate like the East Coast.

Check Boardwalk Chev in Redwood City. He hasn't been active here for over a year but is still a vendor. That's where I bought my '08:

And Suburban Chev in Portland is new so I don't know how their prices compare.

Go to the C7 Dealer Inventory Forum and look around.

I bought from Criswell in Maryland, but I've heard good things about Boardwalk too. I know there are a few northern and Southern California forum members that bought c7's there. Good luck!

Contact Mike Furman at Criswell. While I was buying my C7 he was finishing up a deal with someone in California. If you're buying a new Vette you can buy from a discount dealer on the east coast to get their price, then have it courtesy shipped directly to a west coast dealer. No flatbed involved.

Purchased my 15 z51 from Tim Boone at Boardwalk in Dec 14. Good price and experience. More than Kerbeck and others but when transport across the country and courtesy are factored in basically the same price.Got exactly what I wanted. He sent me a Christmas card but I've had no contact with him in some time as I live a couple hours away and haven't serviced at Boardwalk. Car was prepped well and Tim was helpful. I'm surprised he hasn't had more ongoing presence on the forum. Hope he's still active as if and when a new vette is in my future I'd call him.

When I tried to buy from Boardwalk, they were list price so I bought from Les Stanford at supplier pricing.

We have had excellent dealings with Tim Boone at Boardwalk Chev in Redwood City for our C7s. Also have friends that have purchased their C7s from Tim also. Give them a call. We were just there last Sunday to look at the Z06s that they have in the showroom. Will be contacting Tim about possibly a 2017 in the near future. If you want, contact me tomorrow and I'll try to get his cell number for you.

I bought a 16 vette in December from Tim @ boardwalk for supplier cost. Maybe could of got it slightly cheaper from east coast but would rather of got it closer to home and not deal long distance. Can't say enough about how great Tim and everyone at boardwalk were.

Also bought my '16 from Boardwalk (Benjamin Kaupp). I have a buddy who is ordering a C7 today, but looking at a dealer in OC. I will let you know how that turns out.

Default Where to buy

I've sent you a PM with info on where to locally save a ton and get great service from your salesperson

I've bought probably 10 Corvettes from them plus the Suburbans, and other vehicles.

don't ignore this good advice. call macmulkin in new hampsire or the dealer of your choice. they can set it up for you and you might save thousands. they usually have several dealers that they can work with in your area if you are not far from a big city, and can quote you the cost, as low as a couple of hundred dollars extra (not likely that low in ca). if you save 5000 dollars and it costs you 500 extra, you're still ahead 4500.

is anyone beating these prices from macmulkin, plus no documentation fees?

I also recommend Tim Boone - I got my 2016 2LT Z51 C7 back in July for supplier pricing as well at 1.99% APR.

Mike and many of the forum dealers do this sort of thing all the time.
