Default Jerry’s Chevrolet!!!!!

Looking at z that they have in inventory, talked to a guy name Barry seems like a stand up guy. Has anyone bought a car from there, talked to guy from the local corvette club they stop by on the way to Kentucky, they say they do have nice cars? I live about 25 hours away, Barry gave me a name of a guy to come look at the car, if that’s something I wanted to do.

I would like some input if anyone has done this.

I also herd that they don’t bicker on price much?

Ask if there are forum members that live near there and see if they can go by and check it out. See if they think it is a good Vette and deal. Members help member with that kind of stuff a lot.

I would have the car inspected, but by an independent inspector. As mentioned, forum members have been known to look a car over for other members, although I would want a certified tech to check the car over for any mechanical issues.

It’s tempting when driving by shiny cars on a lot. I suggest you pump the brakes on this one. Dealers are going to be more expensive with absolute certainty, and you’ll have no verbal history of the car.

Better to do all the suggestions above…with a private party.

Eight years ago I was in the market for my first Corvette. Always wanted a white C5 with black interior.

I’m in Michigan and I found one at Jerry’s Chevrolet in Weatherford, TX. The dealer pics had “Jerry’s” in huge letters on the rear license plate.

Since my name is Jerry, I showed it to my wife and said it was a sign; it HAD to be my car because it had my name on it.

She agreed. And the rest is history, LOL.

Yes I bought my 2000 vette there earlier this year. Barry is a good guy and I drove a bunch of Vettes I had my eye on before I decided I wanted this yellow 2000. I would say Barry doesn't know EVERYTHING about all Vettes (I asked some questions that I knew the answer to and a couple of his answers were suspect) but like I said he is a good guy and easy to work with. Very reputable people and a fun showroom with tons of Vettes and some other classic cars.
I am not a haggler and didn't really try to hard to get a lower price on mine. I got a good deal though. I would recommend Jerry's in Beresford and dealing with Barry to anyone. The only "bad" part is waiting for the title, mine came with just a week to spare but it came registered mail so you at least get a tracking number for it when they send it to you (because I, like you do not live near Beresford, SD but I am just a few hours away)

If you have any other questions about them I will try to help with the experience I had.

Here it is sitting in front of their Vette showroom the day I bought it.
