Default Corvette Palace?

Any experiences with Corvette Palace in Austin Texas? Good or bad I'd be interested in hearing.

Mine was very good. Shannon is good to work with. The car was just as they described it and delivered to my door. Prices are high and they negotiate about $1,000 but the cars I have seen are very high quality.

Had planned to buy a car there, but things changed. Their cars are
pristine and I would go there for the next one. They sell many cars
unseen and ship to distant buyers. I watched them prep one for shipment and the attention to detail was impressive. I don't think
I'd have any problem with them. Hope that helps.

Just bought my second car from Shannon and William at Corvette Palace. I trust them 100%. On both occassions I told them what I was looking for and had them shipped to my house sight unseen. Their cars are in excellent condition. At this point I wouldn't consider anyone else to purchase a vette.

I agree with all of the above comments. I bought my '02 from them, and had it shipped to me near Los Angeles. Car was perfect and Shannon was excellent to work with. I couldn't have been happier.

Bough mine in Sept. and they were great. Bought car unseen and they delivered exactly what they said they would. Do not negotiate much but were very honest. I highly recommend them.

Default Same as above and....

Drove there from ARkansas, picked up 99 vert, drove back never knowing that heads up display was not operating. Shannon worked with me over the phone and came up with the idea it was faulty. Shannon had me take it to my local dealer to have it fixed on Palace's dime. Real class act. Mention Brian from Hot Springs, Ar and maybe I'll get a better deal next time. I love my car!!

Bought two cars from them. 98 Coupe and 01 Z. Both looked like they were brand new. Shipping doesn't always work as smoothly as it should but their product is first rate. You pay a little more but if you are **** like I am in terms of condition and low miles its well worth it.

My wife and I bought a 50th anniversary convertible with 7700 mi. from them in October and had it delivered to Virginia without seeing it in person. Shannon was great to work with and the vette was as good as new inside and out. I will buy my second vette from her when the time comes.

I bought my 04 CE from them in June. They were top notch. I'd go back again.

This was my first Vette and I had many questions. Shannon was very good to deal with. Just like the rest, I'd do it again. The folks here are picky... they delayed shipping my car, because the first transport driver didn't seem to know what he was doing. I am very pleased. A very positive experience.

Wow...I'm glad this question was asked. I contemplated buying from them but was apprehensive of buying a car without seeing it. But perhaps the next car I will give them a shot! Glad everyone opined.

They seem to like cars with 1000 miles OR LESS! No, but really, they are first rate. Wife bought her 99 there 2 years ago and it had 19,000 on it. My buddy has bought 7 different from them. He just took his 02 Z06 in and they told him "25,000 miles is a lot for that year Z". He wants a C6 now. They only deal with cars that have never had ANY body damage at all.
