I've bought many Vettes from Corvette World Houston (formerly Corvettes of Houston) including one this past October. Great people to work with and I highly recommend them for sales and service.

Thanks so much for the feedback and good to know, their inventory of late models seems better than most dealers, just not the color combination I am looking for at the moment. Were you able to haggle on price at all with them?

I had my Corsa Extreme purchased and installed through them last month in Houston. Great guys to work with and also much cheaper than anywhere else I. like find. Their price for the Extreme installed out the door was cheaper than what others were charging just for the Extreme without install labor. I also ordered a driver side visor with the garage opener and it was also cheaper than anywhere else i could find.

I bought 2010 GS from the Dallas store. Normally, the price you see is the price you pay. I did get them to throw in a mild to wild controller

I just made an offer to CW Houston at 95% of asking price; they wouldn't negotiate or counter. I guess if you like the posted price, it's fine, but doesn't seem like they're interested in bargaining. I walked, however.

Myself and friends have had nothing but bad experience with them.

My roommate (back in the day) had them do work on his GS, and they forgot to tighten down control arm bolts. Car vibrated so bad on the trip back back home it had to be towed back. Lucky they didn't kill him that time as he still owed rent. Granted, this is representative of one laborers work rather than the organization, but its the experience nonetheless.

I went in the other day as their location is mere blocks away from my office to inquire about purchasing a C7 for my significant other. I happened to be driving a rental Hyundai Accent (read: POS), when I arrived. I watched 3 sales guys who saw me walk in, "size me up" and didn't say a word to me. I had to physically pop my head into their office and ask for help. Maybe if I came in my 750 or Viper I would have gotten some service? Pathetic.

An older gentlemen asked me what I was interested in, to which I replied a Z51 2LT M7 car in the 40s. He literally laughed in my face and told me "son, good luck", like I'd asked him to buy a 250 GTO Ferrari for 40 bucks. There was a moment of awkward silence that followed, and with a less than pleased glance from me he said "let me check our inventory". "Oh yes we do have a '14 Z51 car for 49,999 with 25k miles, but we're not moving on that price, its aggressive". I thanked him for his time.

I ended up walking out of there and buying a 2015 all options Z51 2LT M7 car with 16k miles 3 days later, for my "laughable price".

They were that way going back way back when. Long before they became Corvette World. When they were Corvettes of Houston and Corvettes of Dallas and Dave owned them, their pricing was locked in tight as it is today.

I've purchased 3 corvette from them over the last 8 years. They are absolutely locked in on their prices. I have always received good service from them which is why I keep going back.

Thanks for posting this as I jut ordered a B&B Fusion exhaust system plus Corsa X pipe from them and they will also do the install on my new GS. Was wondering about their install service quality. Thanks

They have been in business a long time and I trust them. I have bought 3 vettes from them. I now have an extended warranty on my 2015 with them. I don't expect problems.

I bought a 2009 C6 from the Dallas store a few years ago.

I was concerned the car wouldn't be able to negotiate my very steep driveway and the salesman drove the car over to my house (not a short distance) to demonstrate that it would. I added some custom after-market chrome rims to it and bought it.

One evening as I was leaving work (not too far from the dealership), I did something wrong and the car thought it was being stolen. It locked up so tight I couldn't believe it. I called the dealership and the salesman was on his way home. He went out of his way to come to my rescue, got me in the car and on my way.

They are non-negotiable on price, and I like that. I hate feeling like the sales people are always trying to squeeze (screw me) out a few extra dollars. When I compare their prices to the rest of the market, I find them to be reasonable.

Staff has always been courteous, friendly and helpful. If you're looking to buy a used Corvette, IMHO, there's no better place to go.

Wow, customer service 101, never laugh at a customer.
