The setup at Paramus Chevrolet is great. There's the main showroom, for everything from the Sonic to the Impala to the Silverado and then the "Corvette Salon" upstairs, where Corvette specialists will help you with whatever you're looking for. I used to go in there as a kid when previous models were debuting, and they've always let me check out the cars. The salespeople there are mainly Corvette enthusiasts. One rep in particular started chatting with me last time I was there; he owned a '59 and '65 and if I recall correctly, he has ordered a C7.

Well yeah, that too lol
But they were actually accommodating, I understand every Stingray on the street right now is a preorder - I respect that.
What I don't appreciate is the way folks are going about it...these guys actually spoke to me like another car guy and they actually knew wtf they were talking about. I was even able to actually TOUCH the damned car, Open the doors/trunk/hood and look inside.
They were even straight up with me - "Dude, if you place an order NOW - You're gonna wait at least 6 mos" But, all the other dealers were so eager to get me to place an order and said it'll be here in 2 weeks... "They were BSing you so they could get your money and that sale - All over the country there is a line for these things"
That's is the kinda folks I do business with, Straight shooters.
