Suggestions on dealers or websites for Vette shopping???
Okay,
So I know right now is NOT exactly the best time to be looking for a vehicle or well......anything but I was curious what you guys use for websites or dealers for vette shopping??
I like using car gurus and have checked Flebay too and of course I watch the classifieds here too.

Try https://buyavette.net located on Atlanta. Great collection of all years available. Bought one from them, good honest people, easy transaction and shipping.
If I were in the market for a used Corvette, I would check the "for sale" listings on this forum. Seems to me that if somebody is enough of an enthusiast to be a member of this forum, then their car was probably taken care of.
Lots of Corvettes for sale on Facebook Marketplace.
Yeah but those are the worst of the ones for sale, lol. Not the ones I would look at, or use as a comparison point unless you just have no budget and want the cheapest of the crappiest ones.
Try Autotempest! It's how I found my Vette. They combine search results from a bunch of different sites into one, including Craigslists. The only major ones it doesn't include is Auto Trader or Car Gurus, but they have handy links to those sites where it auto fills your search info. I'm using it again now checking prices for a potential daily driver upgrade in the fall and it's so easy.

100% Autotempest - It seaches almost everywhere, and allows you to really fine tune your parameters. If you're even considering shipping or a flight / drive back, this is the way to go.
Not sure where you are located, but in the Boise area probably the best place is Fairly Reliable Bobs Used Cars. I know, strange name, but they always have a bunch of vettes on the lot. I didn't buy mine from them, but they did do the inspection on it for me. Here is their Webs site...
Initially I found their ad on Autotrader.com ... and then I communicated directly with them.
I NEVER !!!! thought I'd buy a car over the net - but my transaction COULD NOT !!! have been more efficient / pleasant / thorough etc etc etc. Totally informed the entire process
I would go back to them any day .. and they seemed to have a good flow of high quality cars
I haven't bought a vehicle in my home state in just over 20 years!!! All internet research and buying over the phone. Way, Way better deals then around here!

Another vote for Autotempest. That’s how I found mine.
Has anyone actually used Carvana??? The whole thing seems a little strange but maybe its just fine?
I am familiar with someone who used Carvana for their Corvette purchase, and they were extremely pleased and somewhat surprised at how seamless the entire transaction went. When the car arrived (buyers had not seen the car prior to purchase), they found a scratch on the rear quarter panel, and Carvana was notified and immediately offered to take back the car or pay for it to be repaired. The buying experience for automobiles may change in the future, and Carvana-like companies could be the beginning of change for a long established salesperson/customer process.
