Default 2014 Corvette Stingray allocation~ 301 212 4420 Mike Furman

http://www.corvetteonline.com/news/s...ing-the-new-c7


As many of you know I sell Corvette's and have done so for 34+ years. Criswell Chevrolet will have the allocation for the NEW 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. Criswell is the 3rd largest Corvette dealer in the Country and the bulk of the allocations will go to the top selling Corvette dealers. Please don't leave your deposit with a Corvette dealer that states "Allocation will be no problem", chances are they will not get nearly as much allocation. There are 3,000 Chevrolet dealerships in the Country so why should you order from me?...I can drop ship, enclose trailer, Corvette Museum Delivery or you can take delivery the old fashioned way-at Criswell Chevrolet. I will not mark up from MSRP and plenty of dealers will. Call 301 212 4420 which is my desk direct phone line...I have over 2,500 Corvette customers in my book of business after 34+ years of selling Corvette's. I am a Corvette enthusiast selling Corvette's and I make it FUN and seamless as it should be.

Best Regards,

Mike Furman "Ambassador for the Corvette Museum"

The Corvette factory will be producing the Stingray at the rate of 18 per hour...the last few years of the C6 had a production rate of 8 per hr. Criswell Chevrolet is the 3rd largest Corvette dealer in the Country so we will have the allocations. I am not marking them up from MSRP.

When you say "Drop ship" do you mean to a local dealer, who will prep the car, or to your customer's door already prepped? And, how much does it cost? It is a long drive from SW FL to MD, so I am curious. And finally, is the deal I can get worth it ?

Good reminder, Mike.

I ordered my first C6 in the summer of 2004 from my local dealer, not knowing anything about allocations. I found out about allocations 3 months later and it was going to be another 2-3 months before he had one.

Drop ship implies the vehicle gets shipped to a dealer near you. They prep car. You and I would Fed Ex the paperwork back and forth which would include tag work etc. The local dealer to you charges a Courtesy delivery fee to you which is nominal. You get the exact Corvette you want with no addidtional dealer mark up plus we will have the allocation as Criswell is the 3rd largest Corvette dealer in the country.
Check out a few of my threads this past week for other courtesy deliveries. 2 weeks ago I drop shipped one to Maroone Chevrolet,
last week Beard Chevrolet in Cape Cod, Mass.

Mike will make your Corvette purchase seamless. He has drop shipped across the country hundreds of times in his many years as the #1 Corvette salesman in the country. Trust him, you will be glad you did!

Try using Mapquest. It will tell you how far it is and how long it will take you to drive.

Ft. Myers, Fl to Gaithersburg, Md=Via I-95 N

16 hrs 29 mins / 1042.38 miles

Just a hop, skip, and jump away.

Yes and we are just off RT 95 which runs North and South right to Florida. So it is an easy trip. Wednesday I had a customer fly in and drive home to Texas 1,440 miles.

Lyn, the truth of the matter is that I wish I could meet all my customers. I do so many off site deliveries around the Country that I miss out on first hand introductions. I have made so many great friends in the Corvette world including you and your hubby Steve.

I know where it is. I drove down from OCMD after the Corvette weekend this past October. It's still a long drive, but, if the deal is a great one it's worth it. But, drop shipping is great. No snow, ice or I 95 pot holes to avoid! Thanks for getting back to me.

Unless your parents or soulmate spouse own a dealership and can sell you a new Corvette, Mike is your best option for buying a new Corvette - period.
