I ALWAYS prefer buying from an individual, instead of paying
excessive prices to a dealer, and too, a car like a Vette, is
often owned by an enthusiast, someone who has taken better
than normal care of the car, kept it garaged, etc. I've just
never had luck with a dealer and don't trust a one of them!
Just my $.02 worth, good luck!

Me too

Well, I found the dealer through a car he had listed on this site. I ended up purchasing a different car from him, but I never knew there was an all Corvette dealer so close to home until I ran into it by accident on auto trader.

Next time I'm looking for something, I'm going back to that dealer!
