I purchased my 17 Grand Sport through Criswell Chevrolet as well. Just not with Mike. It truly is an amazing car and I am extremely pleased with it so far. The entire experience at Criswell was a pleasure and I am glad I used them to purchase this car. Equally impressive was the shear volume of Corvettes at that dealership!! I thought I accidently ended up in Bowling Green!

Its crazy, I bet if you take a car on their lot vs ordering you'd get a better deal. You should go through their inventory and see what they have.. I was just there, lots to choose from...saw a Grand sport collectors...was amazing.

Cant remember how old you said you were, but Im 37.. bought mine 2 months ago from Mike.. I was 19 when I bought my Supra Twin turbo (was a 94 and I bought in 99).. I had a Nissan GTR when I was 28 when they came out...owned a few porsches, Audi's, a Lotus and of course Mercedes' benz's (still have a Mercedes to go with my vette)... the vette is my 40th car since I started driving about 20 years ago

Mikes a good man. Top shelf all the way!! I'm just an ol' country boy from west Texas and asked him a question via email and was very surprised to get a response from him at the start of the next business day. He took the time to answer all my questions. Will never be able to express my appreciation of him. Thanks again,Mike

on par and if you factor in less than a hassle trade he beats kerbeck easily.
macmulkin I cannot comment on. I can honestly say this. It would take several thousand dollars worth of a swing for me to consider someone else and even then I'd feel lost. He's just a great guy. Genuinely loves the brand and knows so much and even in a ll the chaos makes you feel like you're the only person there.

Factory ordered my 2016 Stingray from Criswell last year this time I think maybe even on 4/24. I had heard a lot about Mike from Tony at Tony's Corvette Shop. Took my 07 there for many mods. I was hoping to meet Mike and get him another Corvette order, however my email inquiry was handled by another salesman. Long story short I was well taken care of through out the whole experience. I do check all the pics Mike posts every Sunday and at the very least I see he did get the sale of my trade in 2007 Monty Red 3LT. I was impressed that he mentioned it was in mint condition and coming from Mike that was quite the compliment. That car looked like the day I drove it off the lot in 2007
