? on Buying @ corvettepalace.com
I was just wondering if anyone on here has bought from www.corvettepalace.com, to me their vettes seem to be priced high for how many mile they have. Compared to on this forum you can find them alot cheaper or this just because of dealer and private party?

I bought my first vette from Corvette Palace about two months ago and was 100% satisfied with their service and I highly recommend them. I found that most of their cars had low miles, 20k or less. Mine had 3400 mi. I believe they are very careful in their selection process. I bought mine without seeing it in person. I had a carfax done and bought an extended warrarnty for peace of mind. I worked with Shannon and she patiently answered all my silly questions. The experience with CP is very different then being worked by a regular dealership. You can PM me if you have any questions. They are very easy to work with and perhaps it cost a bit more but they really have some great cars, in excellent shape, and they will not let you down. They shipped mine for free (I asked if they would?) They will drive it out to you in WI in an enclosed container. I remember the truck pulling up to my driveway. BIG MAJOR SMILE ON MY FACE WHEN I SAW MY CAR! Damn, I'm still smiling.

I also bought my car from Corvette Palace. I would agree with all of the comments from Jeff.
Shannon was great, putting any of my fears of buying a car sight unseen to rest. I paid for shipping (to CA), but they knocked the price of the car down a little. The car arrived in a HUGE covered truck, surrounded by brand new Mercedes automobiles, exactly as promised. As Jeff noted, I remember very clearly seeing that truck pull up in front of my house. I had several friends over for a poker game, and we all ran outside to watch the delivery. My wife reminds me that I just stood there smiling and staring at the car - which was running in the street. She finally told me I should get in and drive it!
If you're looking for the best price on a particular model year, CP probably isn't the place to look. If you're looking for a car with low miles and in excellent condition, and want great service, I would say CP is highly recommended.
Good luck!

Bought mine and will buy my next there as well. Car Shannon sold me was an 04 in excellent condition. Had several Z 06's in inventory to choose from and after many conversations with Shannon she recommended the car I bought because it met my **** requirements. She took the time to know me and my expectations and then got me the right car. The car was actually one she did not have in stock yet but knew of it and the pristine condition it was in. She said it was a 10 and when they delivered it to me it was everything she said it was. Perfect. Prices are higher but the condition and service were worth the little extra I paid. I am a satisfied customer as well.

Vette C5 ! My take on C.P. I would not hesitate to buy from them. I've talked to Shannon in the past & to be honest, I wish sometimes I would have bought "used" from them. Trust me, I'm from Appleton & if you are looking at used Corvettes, buy a low mileage car from them (or the Vettenet). You will pay more but you will also get a lower mileage car that is better taken care of. I often think of selling my 03 coupe with 3xxx miles on it & waiting for them to get a used 2006 ZO6 & buy it! Good luck to you

I bought mine from CP and Shannon last January, as stated above, great people to work with, high integrity, delivered exactly what they said they would, the car and options I wanted, in flawless mint condition, sight unseen, right to my door! I would use them again!
