I bought my car through the VetteNet three years ago. Captain Ken is a true Corvette enthusiast and was very helpful with the entire transaction. If I were interested in buying a car today - I wouldn't hesitate for a second to enlist his assistance.
Understand that the cars are not his to represent. He lists the cars for the sellers and merchandises them. The commission is paid by the seller. So when you go to him to buy - he is representing the seller, but it is my understanding that the commission is a pre-agreed flat fee, not based on the amount of the sale. So it is in his best interest to get the two parties to agree on a price and sell the car.
As I stated - he was very helpful to me. I was a novice Corvette buyer, and on top of that I was in one state with the car in another. He has assisted many buyers over the years and really knows the ins and outs of buying a car long distance. He recommended an independent inspection service - which is the best $300 I ever spent. He made suggestions on what to offer price wise, and really gave me good advice overall.

I worked with Ken about 4 years ago to find my Vette.
He was extremely upfront, knowledgable and professional in working with me.
The car that I wound up buying was about 1 hour from him. He was able to see it in person and took about 45 detailed pics for me. (car in Fl, I am in NY) I sent a deposit to the buyer and Ken worked it so that if the car wasnt to my expectation I would get my deposit back and can walk away.
When I got there, Ken drove down to meet me. The car was beyond my expectations.
If I ever buy another Vette, you can be sure that I will speak to Ken first. He gets nothing but x10000000 from me.
