Local "fly by night" dealer. The price was right, and I made sure I did not have unrealistic expectations of an 83k mile Vette. She's rough around the edges, been rode hard and put away wet, but she's mine. The dealer specialized in sports and sporty cars. As a rule I do not like auction cars, but for the right price I'm willing to take a chance. 4 months in and no real complaints.
I bought mine from my Step Mother. The car is a unicorn, 2007 C6 24k miles, Have every piece of documentation down to the original window sticker still smells new on the inside, never spent a night outside.
In 2015 I found my '08 local on Autotrader, so I was able to check it out, and take it for a test drive. We did the transaction and wire transfer at my local credit union. I called NCM for insurance, and went to AAA for the registration.
I bought mine from Buyavette in Atlanta 4 and 1/2 years ago. A 2005 coupe with 32k on the clock. I paid a bit to much for the car as I was a newbie to the
Corvette world and jumped on the car I liked. I did get a 2 year/50k mile engine and transmission warranty with the car. I am very happy
the car. I would give the dealership a B+ and their in house repair shop an A. The B+ is because they didn't tell me about the harmonic balancer failure issue
and the service column lock issue which I thought they should have fixed before selling the car. (the service column lock)
I bought my 2018 M7 stingray from a dealership in 2021. I've purchased all my Chevrolets' there in the past 38 years.
It had 5,700 miles and I haven't had any issues. I enjoy driving it and looking at it in my garage.
I had been searching online at a bunch of places for ~6 months, I don't remember which site I first found the listing on. But it was at a dealership in AZ. Worked out the details and flew out there with my brother and we spent 6 days driving it back to SC. Great road trip via the Grand Canyon.
Found my 427 on Craigslist, it was about 30 miles away. Had 8800 miles. The car is black and the last quarter mile to his house was a dusty dirt road. I think he got tired of trying to keep it clean. That was 4 years ago and the odo reads 11,300 at present.
Bought from Carvana Feb 3, 2021. Very easy transaction; and no problems at all. It will be interesting to see how things work out with Carvana given their current situation.
My 06 and 88 year old dad's Genesis Coupe. I love the porno red interior
I got my '06 LT3 Z51 from my uncle's estate last March. I was very close to him. He passed away in Nov, 2021 at 85 years old. It had about 12 miles and I pout on about 5k miles since I got it. I put the black AR wheels with wider tires on it and the red floor mats. The red Genesis belongs to his brother, my dad, who is 88 years young and still is damn fast on the Tail of The Dragon...
Bought my 08 from a gentleman on here in the C6 For Sale section.
We came to terms and a deposit was made to hold it for my inspection.The car was in Portland Oregon.
Made arrangements to fly up and he picked me up at the airport, as he worked nearby. We had a brief chat while looking it over and then a test drive.
Things were as advertised and the funds and paperwork were handled and completed. Below is a picture he took for me before leaving.
So I drove it back home, to Sparks, Nevada.
A big thank you to member CorvetteSparky, for this great ride and use of his plates to get it home.
A very smooth transaction indeed.
Bought mine from a GM dealer in Orangeville Ontario. 2011 GS that had been on their lot for a while, but with the summer over, the price dropped enough to really catch my attention. It checked off all my boxes and had been completely reconditioned. Came with a 3 month warranty. The car was spotless inside and out, no roadrash at all and reasonably low mileage at 21k. When I picked up the car, the sales guy and their Corvette mechanic went through everything with me, so there were no surprises. Nothing has gone wrong with it up to this point 5+ years later other than my having to zip-tie the yellow connector under the driver’s seat.
Have two Grand Sports... a Black and a Torch Red. both M6
Bought the Black one from a dealer in Milwaukee , my GF and I flew there , they picked us up, I gave them a check , they gave me keys, I started it up , she got in and we drove it home to Seattle.thru the Black Hills and Yellowstone.
Bought the Torch Red one from a Dealer in Lawrence Kansas... we flew there , they picked us up at airport, I gave them a Check, they gave me the keys, I started it up and GF got in and I heard the sound from the NPP exhaust was too loud, so I shut it off, asked GF to get out all while the two Big wig sales guys are standing there, I pull down the passenger floor panel, see the Npp Exhaust fuse was out, so I took it from the stored place and installed it, replaced the floor panel, got in started it up and now it is quiet. The two Big Wig sales guys asked -" what the hell did you do" I replied with a smile " installed the fuse in the exhaust system" Wow wish I had a photo of their faces... they had no idea. Loved it... we drove it home to Seattle. Both are in the Garage looking very good.
Bought my 427 Anniversary brand new from Criswell's in Maryland (but not from Mike Furman). Took a ride to LOOK at the new 427's that were on the lot, got there, and discovered they were open. Had an 02 Z06 that I drove down. Well, the one that we thought we wanted, we didn't like. And they had 2 427 Anniversary verts on the lot. First one we test drove broke down before we left the lot! Ended up getting a good deal on the Z, and drove home with the new one. Still only have about 18K on the odometer. No regrets.

Just watched a video today of someone buying a Corvette through Carvana. The vending machine was pretty cool, never seen anything like that before.

This is what Ive got my eye on. A M6 Victory Red car. Not many out there that aren't modified heavily.
I searched for about 6 months on all sites, AutoTrader, Ebay, etc. and found one with all the options on Auto Trader. It was listed at Bud's Chevy from St. Mary's Ohio.
I had them take tons of pictures,inside, out, undercarriage, and they sent them to me. It was a used low mileage, and I decided to send them a down payment, then over the week following, sent a bank transfer, paperwork purolated back and forth to get the reistration in my name. I flew in to Daytona, where they had someone waiting for me to drive me to pick up the car in St. Mary's.
It was exactly as pictured. I drove off the lot, and made my way back home in a few days and over 1250 miles. That was 13 years, and over 100,000 miles ago. Nov 25- 124K miles

I hear ya there.. both of mine are factory stock - not one thing is different than how they arrived. Hate all those supposedly UPGRADES people talk about.. when most of the time they are DOWNGRADES. Good luck on the purchase.,.. great buy !
