Default My Kerbeck experience

Well guys and gals, this was the most drama-free car buying experience I've ever had. Was quoted a price over the phone, considerably less than any local dealer could meet, made the drive up (was ready to hit a casino if things were anything other than promised), signed the paperwork and away I go. I know there have been others with other results, don't know any of those details, just wanted to say THANK YOU to Dave (with the Brit accent) for a hassle-free, straight-up transaction.

I haven't purchased any of my Corvettes from Kerbeck, but judging from what I've seen and heard, they're first rate. Kerbeck sponsors Toys for Tots in the Fall of each year at considerable expense. They do a first class job of it, too. Congratulations to Kerbeck and all of their people. When I'm ready for my next car, I'll be there.

Default Me too!

In Aug '05 after my local dealer seemingly didn't want to sell any cars (the stereotypical mental-midget sales guys). By phone and then a "look at the colors" trip to Kerbeck from the WDC area, we struck a deal and ordered what we wanted. No hassles. Everyone was personable, informed and reasonable. Dave was our sales guy also. If I can convince the spouse of my "need" for a new one one of these days, it's back to Kerbeck's. It has been a smile EVERY day! What a car! What a country!

They are in NH correct? How does it work with the out of state dealers? Do you have to register it yourself? For me it would have to be a good 2k-3k difference in price to take a LONG drive but the service sounds outstanding.

Where are you from? Your profile says nothing.

They are located in NJ, not NH. You get a temporary registration and then register in your state (and pay the sales tax). You can register it in your state ahead of time if you get all the info required ahead of time.

I am the very happy owner of an 09 coupe, crystal red, glass roof, z51, npp, nav, slushbox (well, I'm 48 so...........). Need to address the lack of an ipod/iphone input but other than that I'm totally loving it.......

Was with my Father-In-Law three years ago when he bought a new C6 Convertible from Harry. I spent the better part of the next couple hours talking with Dave. Told him I would be back someday for mine. 4 weeks ago I returned and bought an 09 Z06 from Dave. Great guy. Great deal on the car, and great group of guys to hang out with on a rainy afternoon.

Just wish I was close enough to have the car serviced there.
