They agreed to knock off $500 but that left $1200 more than MacMulkin and really they are probably both great to deal with. So I went with MacMulkin. So I'd talk to both of them and see what works best for you considering everything. Both places have a great staff so you don't need to talk any one person. In fact if you only deal with one person, and they are busy or on vacation, it could delay your purchase.
Well, I called MacMulkin this AM. I was on hold/transferred for twenty minutes. I finally got to a voice mail of a "corvette specialist". Now, waiting for a return call. So far, I am not impressed with their customer service.

I'm not surprised by that. I did all my correspondence by email and didn't have any problems. They are a very busy dealer so calling may not be as good since they are with a client most of the time. I actually don't like calling and prefer email. That may not work for everybody but it's how I bought my Toyota RAV4 10 years ago and how I bought my 2019 Grand Sport.

PS: And if you're not happy with them try Kerbeck. That's what I would do.

It might be hard, but I got mine from MacMulkin. Like above stated. I did all my transactions via e-mail.
2LT Grand Sport Vert.

Just call Mike Furman at Criswell and you'll be taken care of. Trust me.

Bought my 2018 GS in January from Kerbeck after little local stock in my area and difficulties in getting any type of a decent deal even on inventory well over a year old.

I was a simple deal since I wanted black/black and paid cash. The transaction came off without any issues and I flew into Philly just so I could look at the inventory in case I wanted to change my mind on what I selected at the last minute.

I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

I used Amoni as well, started over the phone and he was really skilled in guiding me with the build and ordering process which is why I ended up w a 2LZ package. Once you order have him help you w tracking as the corvette site is not accurate. If you come to Nj let me know!

We used Amoni also to order my wife's Stingray convertible. He was great, answered all of our questions and guided us through the whole process.

Default Kerbeck Was Good To Me

I picked up my new 2LT on Monday. Car was on the lot exactly as I would have ordered it. Others have posted Kerbeck carries only 1LT, generic black and grey interiors. Not true, when I looked at their inventory when looking for mine, they had may 2LT's with Khalahari or Brownstone interior. I priced 2 other dealers (large dealers) nearer home and two of them said they could not even come close to offering the discount Kerbeck was offering. The 3rd dealer could not come within $1050 of Kerbeck. I called about the car on a Wednesday, all paper work was done Friday morning and I traveled to NJ on Monday. They picked me up at the airport. Different folks have different expectations, but my experience with Kerbeck was very positive. I got the car I wanted at a great price, everything went smoothly and no surprises. My salesman was Joe Zulli. I anticipated paying cash, but they were offering 2.49% financing for 72 months. No down payment was required, but I put down $10k anyway - the way the market is going, why not use their money at a much lower rate than my return in the current market. Bottom line - Kerbeck met all my check boxes and nothing about the purchase disappointed me.

Even though I've always been a black on black type of Corvette guy--and that's what I wanted when I went to Atlantic City to buy my Corvette from Kerbeck---I almost switched ten times after arriving since they had so many options. I felt like a kid in a candy store since so many colors and options appealed to me. In the end, I stuck with a black/black GS with a loaded 2LT, but I still had a hard time.

Complaining? No. Just stating a fact. And yes they do stock what is the most popular and what sells. I have bought and traded in previous Vettes from them. Just wanted to let the OP know that even though they stock the most Vettes of any other dealer he still might not be driving home with one and might have to order.

I was looking at buying a used 2017 GS in admiral blue for about $56k with 3kmiles. Then I saw an ad for Kerback on this site and figured I’d check it out. Most of their in stock GS are showing $8-9k off MSRP, which puts them only about $8k more than this used one I was looking at.

I plan To contact them, but are these the actual savings I can expect? Or do they include certain incentives that not everyone may qualify for (eg. have to have a competitor vehicle currently, etc. ). If not, while $8k isn’t chump change, it’s making me reconsider buying used... especially if I can get a good interest rate from them. Downside, no admiral blue in 2019!

Apprciate the insight!

Thanks Dave. That’s really making me reconsider buying used. Guess I didn’t see those Admiral Blues because I was filtering on manuals. You can’t order that color anymore right? It’s just the Elkhart lake blue now?

Snap one up. I can tell you that there's nothing cooler than a brand new 2019 Grand Sport that you get to peel the plastic off. You will love it.

I spoke to Sam at Kerbeck, who told me a 10% deposit was required for a factory order. I don’t have a problem with a deposit, but that seems pretty excessive to me.

Delivery would be December? Not a good month to be stuck with a custom ordered corvette in NJ. Can't blame them.
