Courtesy Dealer Recommendation Request
All: I just ordered my car from MacMulkin and want to ask if anyone has a recommendation for a competent courtesy dealer that I can pass on to MacMulkin tomorrow. They want to get the order in process.
I live in Vero Beach which is south central on the east coast of Florida.
Had a recommendation from Heidi (another forum member) for Rosner in Melbourne for service but unfortunately as of right now they appear to not want to do courtesy deliveries.

Why not do a Museum Delivery? I placed a deposit at MacMulkin two weeks ago, and when the car is built, probably in late December or early January, I'm going to fly out to Nashville and take a rental car (Enterprise actually has a program where you can leave their rental car at the Museum and they'll pick it up) down to Bowling Green. This will very likely be the only brand-new Vette I'll ever buy, so I've decided to go all-in on this once in a lifetime experience.

Be careful with Enterprise car rental
Blue666, be careful with rentals from Enterprise. I and others on the Corvette forum were accused of having damage upon return.( There is nobody@ bowling Green to accept your rental. ) They pull this scam regularly.. I also informed ncm to not use/ endorse Enterprise car rental.

CINCFAM nixed that idea as she didn't want to spend the extra $1K and also to try and coordinate our first visit based on delivery window. I will make it to the museum eventually

Thank you so VERY MUCH!!! Glad to hear this before I plan my trip! I'll do my due-diligence and make sure whoever we use is legit. Thanks for the tip-off.

courtesy delivery costs vary by region of the country. Where I am located in Florida, they range between $300 and $500. Many dealers will not do a courtesy delivery in Florida. However there are some. MacMulkin is providing me with some options. However I was looking to see if there was any local knowledge out there

Just got off the phone with Avis, they do not have a program where you can leave the car at the Museum, but they do have an Avis location 5 miles from the NCM, and the guy said they have people come in all the time that have picked up a new Corvette, and they just have their spouse/significant other drive the rental car the 5 miles, then they go on their Corvette-way. So I'll call and reserve a car once I know when I can pick up my C7 Vert. (January probably)

Thanks, yes! I am working with Nicole. I am just trying to find out if there is any local knowledge so I can make a better decision when Nicole calls me later today

I've used Enterprise quite a bit across the US and have never had an issue.
I'm assuming a courtesy delivery is where a distant 'selling dealer' arranges for a buyer's new C7 to be delivered to a Chevy dealership near the buyer and this dealer receives the delivery and preps the car for sale? Do they play any other part in the sale?
