advice on ordering my first corvette
I want to buy a new C7 delivered at museum. I leave in Seattle and I figure it would make for a fun drive across the US. ( and I always wanted to visit the corvette museum).
I got the funds and I am really to pull the gun on a new order. BUT who should I deal with? local dealers are useless... I have had no chance getting a reply kerbeck over email.
Who would you recommend I get in touch with?
thanks!

There are over 10 forum supporting dealers. Ask via email for quotes to order a car to your specs from at least 10 and pick the lowest price. That's what I did 3 years ago with my 2011 ZR1. Bought from Tommy Jr at MacMulkin due to lowest price and he went the extra mile with GM to ensure I would qualify for year end rebates; i.e., the car would be built before the Christmas holiday shutdown at BG. Ken Fichtner is excellent as well having bought my first two NCM delivery cars from Ken.

Just call Tommy. One call and it's a done deal.

Try Ken Fichtner.
Very knowledgeable on Corvettes and Museum Delivery. Another advantage is you are working directly with the owner of the dealership. Best GMPP prices in the country.
I am about to pick up my second Corvette museum delivery, purchased from Ken.

Lots of good dealers here on the forum. As mentioned earlier, just e-mail a few and get a price from them and then make your decision on who to go with.

I would CALL one of the forum dealers. I would not email them. With the rollout of the C7s, I can imagine their email inbox is unmanageable. Not making excuses, just trying to give you some advise to get you what you want. I also would call more than one in case you are looking for an option that has had some constraint issues, like Z51. Not every forum dealer may have the ability to get you exactly what you want during the next consensus. So, check around, but I think you will find it is a much easier process than you could imagine. JMO!

Just remember. ...once you buy one, you're hooked...and you'll want to buy a convertible, a wide body, a red one...etc...as those models come into the market.My advice is call a forum dealer, pick your favorite color on one of those discounted cars, and drive the car home.Save the museum experiance for another time.

I agree. You want to make life easy and get a great price and service, call Tommy Jr, or Ron his sidekick. Good guys and very easy to deal with. Tommy's father owns the dealership and Ron has a full time job in IT. Both are NOT the pushy car salesman type. Just vette junkies, like us.
