Default Experiences buying from MacMulkin?

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!

Nick

I bought from them while living in California. There is literally no way it could have been easier unless they just gifted me the car.

Also, if you are picking up the car yourself in NH, they'll send a driver to pick you up from Boston Logan Airport for free. Any paperwork that needed to be sent before or after picking the car up was sent overnight just as part of doing business. Top notch experience.

Ordered long distance from the MacMulkin team... Absolutely flawless with outstanding communication. They handled a National Corvette Museum delivery that was perfect. I recommend them with no hesitation.

Bought my 2018 GS from MacMulkin. I’m in TX, absolutely flawless and fast transaction. Best Dealer I have ever had to deal with! Very attentive to detail, pics along the way, shipping a non event... 100% recommend!!!

I bought my GS from Boardwalk in CA. They are one of the largest Vette dealers (>100 in stock, including several Z and GS). You may want to contact them, as they are closer and you could do that drive yourself instead of shipping it. My experience with them was pretty good.

I second that. Contact Monica @ Boardwalk.

Another satisfied MacMulkin customer. Might want to consider museum deliver and cut the driving distance in half.

I bought my first Vette from MacMulkin and Tommy Jr was my salesman. First class operation, smooth as could be. I've bought more new vehicles than I can recall in at least 5 different states and this purchase was the easiest one. No bullshit whatsoever. Highly recommend!

They were the best dealership I have ever dealt with. Would buy another car in a heart beat.

I live just an hour from #1 Corvette dealer Kerbeck, but I bought from MacMulkin for better price and no documentation fees. Transaction was first class all the way.
Rented a car and drove to NH to pick up my 2016 Z51. Left in about an hour with my new car. They took care of the return of my rental car from there.
Easy peasy!
You won't be disappointed.

Ditto to all the positive comments. Bought 3 Corvettes from them with zero issues. Order the car, pay for museum delivery, pick it up in April. Then enjoy a fantastic drive back home.

Excellent. Excellent!

I purchased my '17 Grand Sport from MacMulkin long-distance from Texas in September of last year. We flew from DFW to Manchester, NH to pick up the car.

The process could not have been easier. From the initial sales contact, to periodic updates on build / delivery status, to being picked up at the airport and driven to the dealership, to taking possession with Kenny G providing the drive-away briefing, the entire experience was not only pain-free but enjoyable. I particularly appreciated that Sierra, who provides the factory updates on build and delivery status, came over to say hello and chat for a few minutes.

MacMulkin does a great job.

I just bought my 2018 from them in October. They also picked me up at the airport in Boston. Everything was ready for me when I got there. Everything was exactly as they promised-there were NO surprises or last minute changes. It was probably the best new car buying experience I've ever been through. And on top of all that their prices and selection were better than anywhere else I looked. I'd buy a car again from them in a minute!

Not long distance purchases for me.
But since 2009 dealt with Tommy Jr. and purchased 2 Corvettes and my Son bought a truck.
Each time was the easiest, fastest, pleasant buying experience ever.
Even though we're close by, after deciding on a vehicle, everything was done by phone/email/Text.
When time to pick up our new rides, everything was ready when we arrived.
Was quick and easy signing papers/vehicle orientation and headed home in no time
for MacMulkin

Ordered from Tommy Jr. and had the car drop shipped via courtesy deliver to local Phoenix dealer. Smoothest car purchase I have ever made, Tommy Jr., Sierra, Mark, Eddy G, and the rest of the crew are first class. I plan to purchase my future Vettes from MacMulkin.
