Kerbecks!
They are now giving $5700 off a new Z06 til 03. Damn I wish I had started my refi earlier. Maybe I can sneak in a Z without them noticing... :reddevil They already did the credit check on me. :thumbs:

Re: Kerbecks! (larrysb)
Anyone know why Kerbeck refuses to sell to California residents?
If not then maybe GM is not allowing it.

Does a CA car require a CA emissions package?
If not then maybe GM is not allowing it.

I think all C5's / Z06's will actually pass the CA emissions test but, on the emission sticker it must say CA. I understand this is because CA requires some extended warrenty on some emission parts.

Re: Kerbecks! (scool93535)
That's a great deal. I bought my 02 from Kerbeck and got 1K off and thought that was good at the time. The local dealer wanted 5K over MSRP. I think they were a lot harder to get back then. :cool:

However, all 2001 and up Corvettes are California legal, right from the factory, no matter what state they are ordered for.
Last time they said something, they claimed they couldn't get them registered with the DMV because of a New Jersey law.
I don't think they know what they are doing.
I had no problems buying my 2002 out of state and bringing it into California.

Re: Kerbecks! (rbartick)
I do not understand what the big deal is. If you live on the west coast get your Vette at a west coast dealer. Kerbeck handles the east coast perfectly. I was super satisfied with the way I was treated. We can't all go to the same dealer.

Re: Kerbecks! (Shylor)
I bought my '01 Z06 from Kerbeck's early in the cycle for list price. When I contacted them in May about an '03 they wouldn't take a penny off. I flew down to Atlanta and drove home with a giant discount and a smile on my face.
I wouldn't buy from Kerbeck's again. :smash:

Re: Kerbecks! (timmayZ)
Back in July 01 when I was looking for an 02 Z I called Kerbeck. They offered $5500 off any 01 Z in stock and they had one I wanted. I didnt want to risk the oil consumption issue and kinda wanted the HUD and the extra 20 hp so I got a quote on a new one. $500 off is all they offered me if they had to order a new 02. I looked a little harder and found a dealer closer to home that gave me 4x that amount off and still got the car in the same time frame Kerbeck promised. Kerbeck is great with the discounts but couldnt help me at the beginning of the model year. I also got zero percent financing for 36 months so I think overall I did pretty well.

California dealers have been playing that game for a long time. Just before I bought mine from forum supporting dealer Jason at Ross Downing a few months ago, I looked locally. Around here, they are marking vette's over sticker anywhere from $5K-$15K.

Re: Kerbecks!
California buyers are buying from dealers in a lot of other states so this must be a New Jersey problem. IMHO
Just send an email to each supporting dealer and ask them how many cars they have sold to California buyers and you'll see its a New Jersey dealer problem.

Re: Kerbecks! (rbartick)
FWIW, I would not buy a car from a dealer 3000 miles away just to save a few thousand dollars. There must be a dealer somewhere near the west coast that discounts.

If you are willing to buy a car from across the country to save $5k then why not try Monica at Maxie Price in GA?

Re: Kerbecks! (Shylor)
Has anybody ever explained why a dealer would call themselves MAXIE PRICE :confused:
I would think MINI PRICE would be better. MAXIE gives the wrong impression.
