Our first Sold and delivered Stingray goes to Oregon with the shortest wait!pic/story
JT from Maryland was the first deposit on the Stingray and the first Stingray ordered...and the first to cancel after the car had been built...business decision caused him to cancel and he felt sick on many levels...a split second after JT cancelled I get a call from Marty W in Oregon, he was referred from another West Coast C7 customer of mine. He wants a Stingray asap...I said "How would a Black 7spd manual 2LT do?" He echoed loud enough " I will take it!" So he called just at the right moment literally and I walked up to the GSM and said John cancelled but Marty wants the Stingray that's built and in route! So Marty's Stingray left Criswell today after we Fed Ex'd the paperwork back and forth the last two days and his new 2014 Stingray is headed to his stable of exotic cars in Oregon where he resides.>>> Marty made my day today, after his Stingray was loaded on the Plycon truck headed West and I had forwarded pictures to him he gave me one of the highest compliments that I could receive...he said and I quote " Mike, I have owned 30 Ferrari's and countless exotic cars over the last 50 yrs of buying new cars and I just have to tell you...You are the Best, You are a Pro!" " You made the whole process seamless!" I thanked him for the kind words and said for him to call me when he receives his Stingray. Enjoy the pics of Marty's 1st Stingray but not his last from me. This is 1 of 9 Stingrays headed to Oregon that I have sold this quarter...4 will be drop shipped to the same dealer in Bend, Oregon!

Mike I'm not talking about the car. :) |
A lot of us have the privilege of working with Mike. There are good Corvette sales people all over the country but in my opinion there is none better then Mike.
We could all wear campaign buttons that read: I LIKE MIKE. |
Never hurts to be in the right place at the right time!!!! It's how I got my 01Z so quickly in Houston 13 years ago. :D

Dam that looks awesome. I was a late comer to the C6 having bought a 2003 Z06 in 2004 after seeing photo's of the C6. I finally came around and owned 2 C6's but for me right now the C7 is the best Corvette ever produced.
You new owners are very fortunate and I envy you. |
Lucky guy but even luckier he chose to work with the best in the business -- Mike!
|
Way to go Marty. Congrats. :cheers:
Hey Mike is it just me. The car in the first shot (gassing up) the calipers look yellow and red in all the other shots. Thanks |
Wow. Just beautiful.
|
Sweet ride!!

Build sheet bonanza.....

Just curious, did the folks observing the loading of the black C7 onto the Plycar enclosed transport buy a car from Criswell? They look really intense!
|
cool story; wicked looking Corvette.

Hey, Bill, was this written from your padded cell???!!! I think Mike said that is where you hang out most of the time!!!

Awesome story Mike! I'm one of the other Oregon orders that Mike is drop shipping to Bend, OR. My car is the evil twin of this black one. I've got a 3LT Arctic White/Yellow Calipers on order! Well, maybe mine is the good twin? :D
|
My eyes! The giant comic sans!!! AHHH
heh, great looking ride though, cool story. |
Great story. Way to go Mike! :thumbs::thumbs:
Thanks for sharing. :cheers: |
Great story and I have to say, not being a black paint fan, when the black car is cleaned up, it really looks terrific!

Great job delivering a customer's car. Also a great job showing a LMG color in the daylight.
Anyone else notice that in the background of a couple of the photos? Nice color. Mike |
I wondered how long it would be before Mike posted a C7 sale. Congradulations! I need to come up and visit.

Am out of line here?
But why didn't the dealer pick up his waiting list and call customers who had already put down a deposit and ask them if they wanted to puchase the car? I am sure one of those people on their list would have wanted the opportunity make the choice to buy a car now or wait until their exact order arrived. Its seems that would have been the fair thing to do rather than sell it immediately to a random caller. Maybe I missed something here..... |

Lime Rock Green Metallic
Hey Mike, I see a Lime Rock Green behind you in one of your pics. Could you post some pics of it. I think that may be one of my top choices.

The Green actually looks pretty freakin sweet...Different wheel color would help!
I can see many people lowering the car real soon! |

it would of been a waste of time - at this juncture. Those still waiting have their C7 ordered... exactly like they want it to be (options & color).

Looking forward to miles of smiles and an avalanche of delivery stories. Congrats Marty, Mike and Criswell!

I love it dearly right down to the red calipers. Awesome looking machine.

Acually I am afraid to come up because you still have two white 60th anniversary 427 verts left. I might be too tempted! - but I would like to sit in a '14 model.

Can't beat 200 for plates for 4 years no other tax! |
Furman-Criswell West Courtesy deliveries are happening

Can't beat 200 for plates for 4 years no other tax! So, here is what living in Oregon does for you: No sales tax A State mandated (maximum allowed) $75.00 dealer doc fee. Dealer has the option of providing the buyer with license plates (not vanity, though) for $25.00 at the time of the sale. So, you can drive your new car off the lot with new license plates AND 4 year tags. Every 2 years thereafter (after your 4 year original tags expire), your tag renewal fee is $96.00. So, bottom line is...... this amounts to $48.00 per year for your car registration fee in Oregon. No smog check...... IF you live East of the Cascade Mountains, as we did. Inexpensive car insurance because you live in a rural area (again, we lived in Central Oregon). The trade offs living in Oregon: High income taxes. I believe about a 10% (minimum) State income tax. High property taxes. In some counties, in and around larger cities like Portland, property taxes can approach 3% of the assessed values. Always trade offs. They have to get their money from somwhere, some how. The biggest issue has always been that Oregon has no sales tax, so tourists pay nothing for services provided to them (police/fire/roads/parks, etc.) when they visit Oregon. The resident property owners cover those expenses through their proerty taxes. To make this post relevant...... Mike Furman rocks! Our best friend in Oregon has a C7 Courtesy Delivery happening in the next few weeks from Mike. That C7 will be delivered on a truck with 3 other C7's to the Chevrolet dealer in Central Oregon who agreed to provide those Courtesy Deliveries. Bend, Oregon will be rocked with 4 C7's hitting this small community all at the same moment. The dealer will be known as Criswell West!!! Kudos to Mike Furman for putting this all together, and kudos to the dealer in Central Oregon for providing the Courtesy Deliveries to these 4 Furman-Criswell C7 customers. Incrediably, this dealer even has a dedicated Corvette Specialist Tech!!! How business is done, folks. |

Furman-Criswell offers padded cells for thsoe who are overcome by the urge to move on to the next level. Just ask Mr Bill!!! |
