Default Orlando Florida / Rogers Corvette Help

Is there anyone from the Orlando area that could assist me in checking out a car I am in the process of purchasing? Members have suggested I try to get a members assistance to have the car checked out since I can't fly out there. If yes let me know I'm sure we can come to an agreement to compensate for your time.

Thanks

Ed

Our second home is somewhat close to rogers but not there too often. rogers has a nice selection of corvettes. i think he is stupid rich or something and doesn't haggle with pricing to much from what i gather. sets his price and sits on it until he finds a buyer no matter how long but boy he has some nice corvettes there. it is Florida the sunshine tax lol.

Thanks for the response! I found someone really quick that can check it out for me. Yes I found their vettes to at least show better than anywhere else based on their website. Here are a few pics, can't wait.

I've bought 2 Vettes and a new truck from Roger. What you see is what you get - he is very picky about what he sells but does ask top dollar.

Thanks! Yes that is the consensus. I just loved what I saw and I do have a forum member checking the car out this weekend for a final peace of mind. Been looking for several months and really was impressed with the quality of the cars visually.

I bought my 2005 vert from Roger 2 years ago. The car was in mint condition with 7,000 miles and after 2 years and 43,000 miles not a lick of trouble. Would buy from him again even though his prices are high.

Good to know, so far they have been very helpful! I just hope my car can get here in a reasonable amount of time or I will go crazy! LOL

There's nothing to check out. It will be as stated, or better. And the price will be as stated.

If you want a no-worries remote Vette deal, Roger is the best there is.

Everyone here had me convinced to at least go through the process of having someone check it out, and somebody was nice enough to offer. I was nervous, sending them lots of money, purchasing unseen except for pictures - but I'm on board now and can't wait!

I really appreciate that but somebody already offered. I have to say this forum is filled with some really good people.

Thanks everyone!

Not to mention a 1969 ZL1 (one of just two built by the factory). The car is priceless and of course, not for sale. I wonder if the engine ever gets started. Geez, I can't even imagine...
