Many times we see threads where someone has put a deposit down on a new C7 with their hometown dealer and after weeks of delay they are told to cancel their deposit and "buy from one of the forum dealers". Although there are several reputable dealers represented on this forum, which based on your experience is the "very best" based on:

1. pricing
2. customer support
3. new car inventory
4. problem solving

Mike Furman, hands down, from Criswell Chevrolet. For all of the reasons listed above.

My only experience is with Mike at Criswell. He is top notch, a true professional and will not BS you during the process. Highly recommended!

Tommy Thompson Jr. of MacMulkin in NH. He takes care to cultivate a relationship with his customers and has a well trained staff. He wants to sell you a car today and in the future. I would not buy anywhere else.

Walt White Coupe

I have to agree and they are beating the price of all the others. To me that's the bottom line.

Nate Chandler at Van Bortel Chevrolet, Macedon NY. May not have the largest inventory, but price, service second to none. You will NEVER see a post about poor service in any area of Corvette ownership if you are dealing with Nate at Van Bortel.

I don't have my car yet but so far I've been very happy with Rick Conti at Coughlin Chevy in Pataskala, OH.

The #1 Dealer is Kerbeck...largest Corvette dealer in the World.
Most allocations and you will get the Corvette you want.

Rick Conti at Coughlin Chevrolet in Columbus, Ohio does a fantastic job.

I've heard great remarks and reports of good buying experiences from all of the Dealers mentioned to this point in this thread. They seem to be very much in tune with the Corvette buyer.

I was very satisfied with Dave Salvatore from Kerbeck. I got a great price and got the car in 7 wks-can't beat that. Any of the top forum dealers will do right by you.

My votes are for Ken Fichtner and Tommy Jr. Ordered two cars from Ken and the ZR1 from Tommy Jr.

Agree with this. While I have a preferred forum dealer, and there are some reports of some dealers not responding to emails and such as quickly as some buyers might like, I think all the forum dealers are reputable, have allocations when they say they will, and look out for the Corvette community. I wouldn't want my vote for the very best to seem like something other than an endorsement for the others as well.

4 of us had great service from Dennis Tap & Scott Montgomery at Les Sanford. I contacted all the large forum sponsor dealers, the ones that responded were very professional and great to work with. It came down to the best price and getting 3 of the cars for a same day delivery. We started the process in March of 2014 for 2015 corvettes. One of our group opted for a 2014 with a courtesy delivery. 2 were built in the first week the 3rd in the 3rd week do to a GS paint constraint. All 3 were NCM deliveries on 16 Sep 15.

Rick Conti did a great job for me.

Highly Recommended .

I've only purchased one new Corvette ...which I plan on keeping until the estate trustee decides which nephew get it and my '81!

1. pricing: Kerbeck honored my CU discount
2. customer support: Their website kept me up to date with my order.
3. new car inventory: I choose Museum Delivery.... They had just want I wanted!
4. problem solving: No problems to solve!

Like most of you, I've only had experience with one forum dealer so I can only rate MacMulkin. I don't think any of the others can match their price. Their sales team was great to work with and the delivery process was quick & efficient. No hidden dealer fees, no surprises. I knew exactly what my out-the-door price would be on my 1st phone call.

I'm one of the buyers who waited months waiting for a local to get my car. He assured me that he had an allocation - he didn't.
