Anyone ever buy from Rogers corvettes in Orlando? Considering a '14 Z51 3LT for $59,900. Thought I would check here first...

'14... too high IMHO. You can pick up a '15 for that, look around.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^ what he said

They've been around a long time and have a good reputation in the area......just not going to be the best price typically as they do have overhead costs private sellers don't obviously. Just comes down to them having what you want and a price you're ok with. Lots of coupes out there now days though with so many moving to the Z06. Someone has what you want at a better price I'm betting.

Too pricey.....jmho
I just picked up a NEW 2016 Z51 2LT loaded 72.5K list
for 63.8K from MacMulkin Corvettes.
NO DEALER FEES
They were thorough and helpful.
Can't beat the price !
I FLEW in from Naples.Fl , and drove home(stopped to do three runs at the Tail of The Dragon on the way.)
Great way to break in a car.

Mbruno64

Wow. Great deal! Ok, thanks for the info!

It has been a long time ago, but I bought a Corvette from Rogers Corvettes when I lived in Florida. The customer service and quality of the vehicles he had at the dealership was outstanding.

Mbruno64

Yes, seems to be. I've spoken with them on the phone and they were very friendly and helpful, although not very flexible on the price especially given that I'll need to ship it cross country.
The cars look fantastic on line. If I consider them (or any long distance purchase) further I would definitely do a third party inspection first.

Another thing that concerns me and is keeping me from pulling the trigger on a C7 is all the nightmares and horror stories I'm hearing and reading about; overheating issues, transmission issues, infotainment system issues. I know...new model, teething pains, etc....Just seems like an unusually high number of issues.

I drove mine 4000 miles in two weeks....no issues whatsoever....
I researched thoroughly before buying. I also have a 2006 C6 Z06(bought new) and I was going to get a C7 Z06 (supercharged) . THEY have some issues with heatsoak/overheating if they're tracked aggresively, so I passed on the Z..for now. They have NO problems of that kind in normal or lightly spirited driving.My trans in the 2016 is an A8....GREAT trans...fast shifts with or without paddles. I love it.I also have the Magnetic shocks(a must have for the Z51, standard on the Z06)

Mbruno64

Fantastic! That puts me a bit closer I think. Will continue my research. Also need to sell my C5 50th and C4 lt4 Callaway...that would make it much easier...

but wondering if Rogers still has the White 67 L88??? Thanks

They are not the cheapest, but all their Corvettes are in perfect condition. I have purchased 3 Corvettes from them with the latest
being a Wil Cooksey 08 Z06. I love the car and it was perfect when I
got it from Roger's Corvettes.

Callaway B2K...sweet ride.
I lived in Connecticut about 90 minutes from the Callaway headquarters until 2006 when I retired from a 37 year teaching career. I almost got a B2k. At the time, I had Chuck Yeager's courtesy car from the '86 Indy 500. I later followed up with a 1990 ZR1.
One of my former student's owned a dealership and I got a Millennium Yellow 50th Anniversary in 2003 at cost and he gave me all the dealer holdbacks..
You should have no problem selling the Callaway.... It's very well engineered.

Mbruno64

Very cool.
Yes, of all my cars, believe it or not I think I love my C4 the most! It's a blast.
Not a B2K, but a supernatural 435. 1 of 8 built in '96. It's a beast!

Mbruno64

They look it from what I see on the website.
Thanks for your input

I haven't but The Blade Silver 3lt coupe you're talking about is highly optioned and pretty awesome. Super low miles...All it needs is the Carbon flash stinger on the hood imo..They dropped it 2k about month or so ago to $59,900. I personally don't think they are to far off if they move alittle. They've had it awhile so think they would. Great looking car. If it had been a paddleshift it may have already been gone best of luck

bosco1

Not sure but I believe he is still the owner of the 69 ZL1. One of two built..

Yes, there's also the cyber gray z51 3lt, same price. I'm considering both. I agree. I'm sure if it were a '15 with the A8 it would have been sold already. But that does make me wonder why it hasn't. Hmmmm....

Dare I say I'm also looking at Hellcats?
