Does Kerbeck deal at all?

If you can negotiate a better price than Kerbeck, buy it. However, I'd also look at Criswell in MD and MacMulkin in NH as well before making a decision. They seem to be equally competitive most of the time. Those are the 1, 2, and 3 Corvette sellers in the world.
My understanding is that the numbers they publish are as low as they are willing to go. If you don't buy it at that price, they don't seem to have any trouble quickly finding someone else who will.

Before I bought my '17,I checked with Kerbeck and many other dealers.Kerbeck usually has some of the lowest prices around.
I got lucky.My local dealer,City Chev in Charlotte was able to (slightly) beat their price and I didn't have to travel to get it or pay to have it shipped.
Of all the dealers,Hendrick ( all locations combined) is in the Top 5 of all Vette sellers for '17.

I tried the Big Three before settling on MacMulkin. Kerbeck didn't want to talk trade and Criswell stopped communicating after a few days of discussion. MacMulkin went the extra mile on my trade by setting up a broker in my area to pick the car up, gave me as good a deal on a GS as anyone, and didn't charge any doc fees. It was a refreshingly positive experience in a decades-long sea of negative experiences I've endured from dealers in the past.
As far as dealing goes I only tried to get the trade offer higher, but didn't get very far with that.

If you are financing you might want to stick with Kerbeck even if they are a couple bucks more pricier than Macmulkin or Criswell. No one is willing to offer 1.99 percent APR for 72 like Kerbeck.

When I talked in person with a salesman at Kerbeck about the new C6 I wanted to buy and told them that another dealer had offered to sell me the car for ~$1500 less than they wanted I was told that the price the other dealer gave me "was not a real price". With that I walked out and ordered the car from the other dealer for that "not a real price". I would never give them my business.

Check with several of the forum dealers and see who gives you the best price. When I was preparing to order my Z06 in January of 2016 for museum delivery MacMulkin provided the best price and handled everything wonderfully.

! Only reason I didn't buy from Kerbeck is I had already custom ordered with local dealer. The constraint lifted and I have a sick 17 GS, berry berry happy

Im not driving from NJ to florida. I can have the car shipped enclosed in a trailer from NJ for $1200. I asked but neither Macmulkin nor Criswell can do 1.99 for 72 months even with stellar credit

My experience buying my 14 C7 vert from Kerbeck from California in 2/14 was great. No bickering, no bullshit. The best car buying experience of my life and I'm 72. I wouldn't hesitate to buy my next Vette from them, but my heart is set on a Bugatti Chiron.*

In August of last year, I built my Corvette,and, sent it to the top 5 dealers. Mike Furman gave me the best price,and, the best trade in by far. So, I drove 850 miles there,and, 850 back. Had a blast. Plus, he found a $1000 incentive for owning a non-GM vehicle,so, I used that to purchase their extended warranty plan.
I cannot deal with any of the local dealers here.

I've bought 4 Vettes from Kerbeck. I have attempted to do something better than the "advertised price" and they have never budged.
I also found MacMulkin willing to call me back, (too late) and offer a lower price..... but I had already told Kerbeck I would go with them and I'm a man of my word........ Told MacMulkin they should have given me that price 8 hours earlier, the first time around. Besides, Kerbeck was only a 180 mile drive and MacMulkin was 350 miles.
My friend, Mike @ Criswell will gladly work with you on a trade in number, sight unseen and we've bought 3 Vettes from them. They are only 65 miles from me.
Both Mike @ Criswell, and the folks at Kerbeck have always treated us very well, and no funny stuff......

MacMulkin consistently beats the other high volume dealers.
