I went with Rick Conti. I like his website and that he updates it daily, he accepts my family first discount and has been absolutely responsive to every question and helped me add some things to the order to make my car just a little sweeter! And i love that he posts pics of people who buy Vettes...love seeing the cars, the happy people and makes me excited to get mine!

I'm sure Dave and the other forum dealers do a good job for people, but like any human sometimes make mistakes. Or end up with a customer who will never be happy. So you'll probably find some negative comments about all of them. In my case, the decision was pretty easy, because one forum dealer and a salesman with a great reputation is only half an hour from my house.

The ones mentioned above all have excellent reputations. You won't go wrong going with any of them.

I'm in complete agreement with Dave. As the Corvette Specialist at a relatively small dealership, one of the most enjoyable parts of my job is helping people configure their new Corvettes. It's both flattering and humbling when a first-time Corvette buyer says something like, "I'll order whatever you think is best" in terms of options, etc.

Samuel Kelley at Kerbeck. Pre-sale, delivery and post sale was outstanding. There was an issue with a missing Stingray emblem (thread on here somewhere) I was going to swap for Carbon Flash anyway...Sam sent me the complete CF emblem set as an apology and thank you. Even though we're nearly 900 miles away, I feel like he's always there for me. PLUS, I got the best overall deal in the country.

Although all of our Forum Dealers would do great, I bought my Z06 from Mike Furman. Service can't be beat.
I've also bought 3 Vettes from Stasek, with great experiences.
Rick Conti is on the ball, too.
Really can't go wrong with any of our Forum Dealers.

[QUOTE=tunaman;1590238614]Mike Furman, hands down, from Criswell Chevrolet. For all of the reasons listed above.[/QUOTE
If you are going to deal with Criswell - make sure it is Mike Furman. As a repeat customer, I had an absolutely miserable experience with another salesman there - not answering e-mails, I called the dealership to ask for another salesman and was hung up on! Ended up buying at Jack Winegardner Chevrolet, they had the exact car I wanted. No Bs I was in and out in 2 hours.

I bought my 2014 Corvette at Phillips Chevy/Frankfort Illinois. Nobody in the Chicagoland area was close to them price wise, NOBODY. Every other dealer was trying to stick me up price wise. I realize that the C7 was new but still they almost lost a customer, I've owned 6 Corvettes previously and I almost didn't buy the C7. Salesman Steve Sorensen at Phillips Chevy came through for me and I ordered the C7. It took about a month to get my car. When I order my new 2016 C7 this coming February, Steve Sorensen at Phillips Chevy will be the first dealer I will go to for pricing.
