Default Corvette Palace website??

Hey Texas dudes: I have spent endless hours over the last couple of years logging on to the most special Corvetee resale website I have found. corvette palace.............Now that I own a C6, i have not even peaked on that site for about 3 months.........I just did for fun......it is gone, they stated they have pursued other opportunities and are no longer retailing Vettes????????/ Who cares, but, I find this a little disheartening

I liked looking through their inventory and frequently steered people on the forum there to double check prices or to seek a Corvette. I too was a bit surprised when they went out of business.......

That's where I got my Vette. They were great. I dealt with the wife, Shannon. It was a perfect experience. It's a shame.

Yes. I visited the showroom twice when in Austin this last year. Absolutely beautiful cars... I wish them success in their next endeavors.

I'm glad some of you had good experiences with them. I found the wife to be a nice person, but her husband was rude and arrogant to me all 3 times I went in there. Since their prices where always PREMIUM and the treatment was bad I bought my Vettes elsewhere.

As a note, Corvette Country has also gone out of business. In its place is a dealer that sells exotics.
