I would like to get peoples experiences with Corvette Mike's.
May be taking a trip to the Chicago shop to look at a couple of cars & would like to know what to expect.

Thanks,


Scott

I bought my first Vette (1970) from them at the Anaheim location...great customer service and great cars. I paid a little more than I should have in retrospect (dealer price) but it was an awesome Corvette and exactly as represented. There were a couple of issues with the car that they took care of prior to delivery to ensure I was completely satisfied.

I've heard only good things in regards to Corvette Mike. They do not operate like Pro Scam Corvette... I mean Pro Team Corvette.

Corvette Mike's Midwest is about 4 miles south of my house and is one of the stops/drive-bys on my Sunday morning loops with the BlueL36. They've had open houses and all are a nice bunch. The cars, and they have more than just Corvettes, are all nice. Some are destined to be garage queens but others are excellent drivers. You get what you pay for. I would definitely buy from CMM before I'd buy from another classic Corvette and muscle car shop in the western suburbs of Chicago. Check out CMM website.

I stopped in 6 months ago. Did not buy anything but they were very helpful and answered all my questions. The cars they had are very nice and the price tag is there also. I like Corvette Mikes much more than other Corvette dealers in Chicago. (D&M Corvettes on Ogden) My brother in law took his 61 to D&M and they bent him over.

Glad to hear good things about Corvette Mike's pricing.
I was wondering what mine was worth a while back, this gives me an idea.

I've been to the Chicago location once,and work near the California one and have been there a couple times. I've seen some rubber bumper
C3's that were reasonably priced for the quality. The chrome bumpers aren't cheap,but I think you could buy with confidence. Staff is very helpful.
