I was just over at the corvetteconti site and there appears to be a different dealers name on his website. Has anyone else noticed this. Maybe I was sleeping or just missed it or maybe I am just getting old. So, I am guessing a change has taken place...

Looks like he is moving on again. He has his work cut out for him at this new store. They still have 2010 and 2011 leftover Corvettes. They also order a lot of 1LT cars and they are hard to sell.

Hmmm, is right.

That is very new. Rick was at Ganley the last time I was over there. (Getting the car fixed for something that should have been done correctly the first time.)

Anyone else bought from there?

I wondered how he was going to make a 'Corvette Center' out of it. Ganley seemed to be run by a bunch of beancounters that treated everyone the same (Cavalier or Corvette) regardless how much they were spending.

Not surprised when Corvette salespeople move from one store to another. They sell Corvettes at ridiculously low prices and then can't make any real money OR the dealer gets tired of paying benefits and perks and makes no money on his/her investment in Corvettes.

Low prices=great for us

Low prices=not so great for the dealer

Who knows?

I was over on the Corvette conti site and I see where on 12/5 Rick said that he would soon be having a personal announcement. I also see where his e mail address also had been changed. We will no doubt hear more from him when he is ready.

At least as of a year ago, Coughlin bought a lot of unsold inventory from other dealers; hence a lot of "leftovers". I bought my '09 Z06 from there and got a terrific deal, and they treated me well. Never have had to go back for service, as I live a few hours away.

I believe that they are the #1 volume Corvette dealer in Ohio and top ten in the country.

I live here in the Columbus, Ohio area where Coughlin Chevrolet is located. It's a nice dealership and they had said they WILL BE the number 1 corvette dealer in Ohio. I know they have some crazy deals. Two friends bought ZR1's from them last month at a crazy price.

I see that now Rick has mentioned over on his site that he has in fact moved to Coughlin Chevrolet. I hope things work out better for him there...

Rick IS working at Coughlin Chevrolet in Pataskala Ohio.
Check his website for further information.
I'm guessing Rick won't respond to this thread since he is not currently a supporting vendor.
I bought a 2009 Z06 and a 2011 Grand Sport from Coughlin. Great deal both times.
