Default Reliable Dealer

I have been searching for a 2008 C6 Crystal Red Vette since I first saw the Crystal Red displayed at the Museum. I called and wrote several dealers but really wanted to sit down and talk personally with someone. Someone who had many allocations, respected Corvettes, and was willing to sit down and talk. I finally found a Reliable Chevy Dealer that had several Corvettes proudly displayed on their showroom floor, had allocations, was also a Mercedes Benz dealer so I knew they would be professional and treat Corvette owners properly. I wanted to find a dealer who would not be too far away and in a beautiful area and not a huge city.

Saturday my wife's and my expectations were met and surpassed by a mile. We had been working on a deal via email and phone calls but really wanted to meet face-to-face.

We drove up to the Dealership and before we could get out of the car we were welcomed with a friendly handshake. We were led into the showroom and were treated very nicely and very friendly. These guys are awesome.

Walking around the showroom floor we were able to strike up several conversations with several members of the dealership. I overheard one nice gentleman explaining to a customer about a neat thing someone had invented to use a remote control to open up the NPP exhaust. I said "Hey...Ed Pipedreams??" Yep....well...that led into about 1/2 hour of discussion of all the mods one can do just from Ed.... I'll have one of those on order soon from Ed for my new 2008.

That was the first dealership I had been in who not only knew Corvettes but who could actually talk about details. I had several other lengthy and personal conversations with many other members of their dealership. One very nice young man, Joshua, who had been in the service talked about his lovely family and some very troubling times his wife had to endure in her first few years of her life as a child. I was really touched and felt we had found many new friends at this dealership. It was not a sale job....it was just who they were.

The most time was spent with David Patton...my contact that started with an email and ended with a handshake and a deal sealed for a purchase of a new 2008 Crystal Red coupe, NPP, paddle shift, Nav, 3LT, two-tone interior and polished wheels.

David was most professional and personable. Found out this young man had spent some time also serving our country as a Navy diver and on a submarine.
Thank you for your service

Also, hope you had a great time and everything went well today for you, David. He is doing a solo sky dive today. First jump.

I had my 2005 C6 delivered to the Museum. That was an awesome day never to forget. The guided tour of the Museum and of the plant was very rewarding and informational. We decided to have our new 2008 delivered right to the dealership this time. I have no doubt the Vette will be handled properly and will be prepared professionally.

If any of you have had your Vette delivered to the Musuem...you know about the great roads in the area to drive from. The roads from this dealership will be even more scenic as they are in the Ozarks....about 40 miles from Branson so if you need a weekend or more of great entertainment while you get to know your new Vette....what a great place to be.

Give David or others a call. They are looking for your business.

I got mine from them too but had it delivered to my driveway. They were the best I have ever dealt with getting a car.

These guys are the best
They got me in a corvette and it was painless. Delivered it to my door, picked up my trade and carried it back with them. Easy to deal with, knowledgeable about vettes, and very thoughtful and courteous. They are the best car dealer I have ever worked with, and I have bought a lot of freakin' cars. I recommend them HIGHLY to anyone on this forum. If you want a vette, it is worth your time to call these guys and give them a shot at your business. They will work to earn you business and trust.

Enjoy, my friend.

Can't wait to continue our New Year's Eve tradition in our new 2008 Crystal Red coupe. Every New Year's Eve my wife and I take the top off our Vette, turn on the heated seats, turn up the music and drive around town to welcome in the New Year. It is an awesome experience.
See ya soon.
