Purchased my 17 Z51 from Macmulkin last January. They even excepted my 2014 base 3lt on trade without even seeing the car in person. A few pictures and my commitment to them it was in perfect shape was all it took. Paperwork and delivery to my house went exactly as stated. This was the first time i bought a car that wasn’t local.
Can’t wait to do it again

And I'm another satisfied customer of MacMulkin. I had never bought a car from an out of my area dealer in my life (I'm 65) but you can't beat their pricing so I called. They are a joy to work with and my purchase was as easy as it get. They also arranged delivery of my car to South Carolina. If I had to do it over again, I'd use them, but I'd fly in and pick up the car myself so I could have started enjoying it that much sooner ... plus I could have met the wonderful staff face-to-face.

Great experience
My brother and I have ordered a GS, two Z06s and even a CTS-v. They were all flawless transactions. Best price, no doc fee, and they set up delivery to a chevy dealer in your area. I would not hesitate to recommend them. Tommy Jr has handled all of our transactions.

It's great to hear of so many good experiences, but mine has just taken a turn. In finalizing my order, the price went up by nearly $7,000, which the salesperson writes off as 'fat fingering' and an 'honest mistake' on his original quote (which was just an e-mail, so I probably can't hold them to it).
What are the ethics of going to a different salesperson at the same dealership?

MacMulkin? No regrets, and had it shipped via Intercity. Seamless transaction and delivery.

Call and ask for Tommy Jr., and explain your situation / what happened.
Make sure you talk with him.
He will be your best chance to find out what's up.
Good Luck

Greetings everyone, I'm new here. I'm a long-time hard-core gear head, have owned 104 cars (only one Corvette, a 1968, that I had in the 70's) over 45 years of driving (so yes, that makes me 'older', 60-ish).
I'm interested in ordering a new 2019 Grand Sport. It will almost certainly be a long-distance deal, since there aren't very many Chevy dealers around Portland Oregon. I've been talking with MacMulkin, have seen their ads here, and am wondering if anyone has bought a car from them long-distance, and what your experiences were like.
I would greatly appreciate any thoughts anyone would care to share on their MacMulkin buying experience.
Thank you!

MacMulkin's sales manager took the initiative of reaching out to me (which I appreciate), said he would 'take great care of me' - and affirmed his salesperson's second, much higher price quote.
I guess the 50 positive comments on this thread vs my experience gives them about a 98% satisfaction rate, which nonetheless might be the best in the business. Perhaps that's a downside of dealing with a high-volume dealer, is that mistakes can happen, and one sale more or less is unimportant.
Oh well.... onto Criswell, maybe Les Stanford and Boardwalk, and to peruse the used car listings...
Thank you again everyone for your comments and experiences, I appreciate it!

Was there yesterday in fact and saw the intercity truck loading up a Vette.

I have purchased 2 Vettes from MacMulkin. The first time was a 2010 Grand Sport. The whole transaction could not have been easier. In 2016 I purchased a C7 from MacMulkin. Again it was an easy transaction. I highly recommend them from a repeat customer.

Completed my purchase 20 days ago. MacMulkin is around 150 miles away from my home in NYC, up in Nashua, New Hampshire. Great communication over the phone and via email. Lots of New York area Corvette club folks purchase from them. You don't pay over the price they post on their website. That is, no hidden costs pop up at the last moment.
It was my first Vette, and Mark, Jessy and Kenny made it the best car purchase experience I've ever had. They picked me up at my Nashua hotel and drove me to the dealership. Helped coordinate the XPEL and ceramic coating. Explained lots of things about the car. Reached out to me after the sale.
My next Vette, whenever that is, will be from them.

Another satisfied long distance MacMulkin customer. I bought mine Nov 3 and shipped it through Intercity. Absolutely no additional fees were added (another forum vendor started adding a fee because they didn't want to work with my credit union). They made it really easy and worked seemlessly with my local credit union.
Shipping with Intercity was awesome
