Great experience with MacMulkin
I ordered my 2017 z06 from Jessy LaMontagne over at Macmulkin, they work as a team so you dont need to just deal with a specific person. He was helpful and let me order exactly what I wanted, no selling pressure or anything. Todd was also helpful throughout the pro
Yesterday the dealer accepting the courtesy delivery didnt receive a phone call to release the car from Macmulkin (regular courtesy delivery person was out sick), so I get on the horn and the receptionist tracks down Jessy at 19:15 east coast time. He checks my documents and calls my dealership here to get it released, immediately. That was huge because otherwise it would have been next friday or Saturday instead of today Saturday that I would be able to pick it up. I ordered it on Jan 29 so you can imagine my desire to have it now!!
Ill post pics in a few hours I pick it up at 11:00 PST.

Bought my Collector Editon from them. Was texting with Tommy at 9:30pm while out of town about my selection and finalized everything with Jessy who also did my delivery. Great bunch of people to work with and one of the easiest purchases I ever made.

Seems as though there are a few great "forum dealers" here. There is MacMulkin in NH, Criswell in MD, Kerbeck in NJ and the one in Ohio whose name escapes me. I am sure they all have their good points and they all are probably much easier to deal with than your local joint. They also have the allocation available to get you the exact Corvette you want.
You folks on the West Coast probably have your favorite Corvette stores too.
Nice to hear that the comments are far more to the positive than the negative around here. :-)

MacMulkin gets a 
from me, too. I also liked their no-fee policy, but I really missed the overpriced extended-warranty and wheel-tire insurance hustle I always loved to get from other dealers. Well, come to think about it, maybe not.

I've bought more new vehicles than I can recall, in 5 states, and my Vette purchase from MacMulkin was hands down the smoothest.

I like to give MacMulkin props whenever I can as well. Also props to Lake Chevrolet In Clear Lake IA for my courtesy delivery. Between the two, I had the best car buying experience ever.

I am the unofficial buying coordinator for our club. We have our fifth on order thru MacMulkin with a build date of April 26th and a Museum Delivery All are museum deliveries so far.
We are only about 2 hr 45 minute drive to the museum.
MacMulkin's point is by the time you pay shipping and a courtesy cost at the receiving dealer you might as well do the Museum delivery.
We have about 18 plus C-7's out of our 90 members now here in East Tennesse's VILLAGE VETTES. We started with eight members in 2000

MacMulkin should open a dealership in Tennessee, and no, not just because I live here
.
75% of the USA population can drive to TN in one day or less. This is the reason FedEx and UPS are headquartered here.
Imagine how much their business would increase if they had a dealership set up here where buyers could fly to Nashville or Knoxville and drive home with the only issue being the weather where they are driving to. Plus only being a few hours from the museum and factory would be even cooler and speed up transportation times.
Thank me later
