Corvette Palace, Austin, TX
Have any forum members had any purchase experience with this company? Cars appear to be low mileage and very good condition. Pricing is high but might be acceptable for the product they are selling if the cars are as good as advertized. Any help would be appreicated.

Yes. That is where I bought my Z06. Shannon i believe is her name. GREAT PEOPLE!
I bought the car while I was still in Iraq. When I finaly arrived home it was sitting in my driveway waiting for me. They shipped it closed transport, for FREE.
The pricing is a bit higher ($1000-2000) but the Vettes are in superb condition.
PM if you want any other details.

Thank you for your response and service to our country. My father was a Marine and there is something special that runs deep in men that are marines.
I am looking for a Z 06 and am reasonably close to these folks as I live in Oklahoma. I would prefer to buy where I might have some recourse if something goes wrong. I am not experienced and comfortable with private internet sales although forum members seem to have high integrity.
A premium in price is acceptable for the right car, miles and condition.

Hey, MiamiCowboy. I live in Round Rock which is in the Austin area. Corvette Palace is about 20 min. from my house. If you see one you are particularly interested in, let me know and I will check it out for you. Just FYI, they do have a good reputation for having clean, low mileage 'vettes.

This is what I like about this site and am so very glad that I found it. I have been a long time reader but just recently signed on when I made the decision to get back into a Vette. I have had several choice ones. I sold a 66 roadster with tri power and a 427 in 1976 to purchase our first house when my wife became pregnant with our 1st son(a common theme seen many times). Hind sight makes me look real "bright" on that one. Went the German route several times but just could not escape my love for the Corvette. In my late 50's now and have a real "need for speed". I am shopping for a Z 06 for my fix. I will let you know if I can use your assistance on an inspection. Thank you again.

I purchased my 02 Z06 last year from Corvette Palace. I paid about $2000 more than I could have found from a private party, but my car was very low mileage (2 years old 4000 miles), unmodified, and spotless. The only complaints I have ever heard about them were that their prices are a little high and they don't like to haggle. I have never heard of them misrepresenting a car, or not standing behind the sale. For me, the little more money was well worth the perfect car.

I would be willing to pay more for a little piece of mind and happier ending.
