Default Seeking Feedback on "The Vette Net"

As title says I am looking for feedback on experience with CF sponsor "The Vette Net". They are a corvette brokerage firm and I am considering purchasing a new vette thru them.

Thanks,
Len

From one that owns two:

They are very good in reducing **** pit turbulence.

The S/O has contacts - with the top down the wind dried out these.

With the Vette Net she is able to drive with the top down for long distances (I.e., DFW to Bowling Green).

As a note - if you are looking at the Vette Net as a means to reduce noise (I.e., wind) in the **** pit, it will be necessary to have the windows up to accomplish the best results.

Hey Dennis,

I agree, we sell a ton of them, but I think he is refering to the other Vette Net, that deals in locating corvettes for people...

Peace

I purchased my car through the Vette Net. Captain Ken is the best! I didn't view them as a "brokerage firm". I saw them more as a matchmaker.

From the buyers perspective - he helped me make unemotional and factual decisions that I couldn't have made myself due to my excitement about buying my first Corvette. He helped keep me "grounded". He advised me on finding a professional inspection company to look at the car that was 2000 miles away. He explained how to make the out of state purchase. And - he did all of this for free! The seller pays all of Ken's commissions.

I highly recommend the Vette Net and would without hesitation use them again!

I bought mine through them, too. Just be sure you really know what you're looking for and what you expect. I didn't have any issues at all with the Vette Net (everything was smooth as silk, in fact) but I wish I had been more educated about C5s in general before starting to shop for one.

When I was looking for mine I contacted them about 1 and made what I believed to be a fair offer, based on the vehicle and market at the time.
I didn't get anywhere and ended up getting what I wanted elsewhere for the price that I wanted to pay.
Just my experience.
