I just picked up my new Z51 today from Tim Connell at Connell Chevrolet in Costa Mesa. I ordered it, and he sold it to me for MSRP less 10%, plus $200. Tell him Paul Brown sent you, and you can order one for the same deal. He's got quite a few on the lot, and I don't know what kind of deal you can get on those. By the way, Tim was a pleasure to work with.

MacMulkin in New Hamphire. Contact them and build it online. It will be shipped to you from Bowling Green factory to a courtesy dealer of your choice to CA. Thats what I did. Every week I got a progress report

Another vote for Rydell. Great pricing, and I like Vig as a sales rep. Also, make sure you meet Donny in service.

Kerbeck is the largest Corvette dealer. They have the largest selection and will give you a good deal. Call and ask for Amoni or Dave. Amoni was my salesman for my 14 vert. An absolute pleasure to deal with. They have local rep who will take care of DMV.

Thanks everyone. I ended up buying from Puente Hills Chevrolet and Pedro took care of me. Practically no going back and forth and I got a good deal, not as great as my first purchase but I didn't expect to get one unless I waited till the end of the year and we know how that goes. Overall very very happy with them. Second most easiest car buying experience ever. They don't have a large selection but I got lucky and found something I fell in love with.

And next time no more in car breakfasts!

I live in Rancho Cucamonga so I know the surrounding Chevy dealers.
BIG no on Mark Christopher. Like you noted in your post of hearing about horror stories, they are most likely true.
Rotolo in Fontana. Don't waste your time. Tried to buy a vette from them twice over the last 7 years. First was my C6. Sales gal tried to sell me a beat up used one. Second time was to buy a C7 and they specifically told me they would not discount at all. Period. I got that from the General Manager that you may hear on the radio ads they do and just happened to hear the same from the owner who happened to be there.
Mountain View in Upland. Sale Manager won't discount under MSRP. Actually, they list over MSRP. They only get a couple of allocations. I do get my car serviced there.
I would go out of state and buy from any of the forums dealers to get the best price and stay away from California Dealerships. Best of luck
