I'm just curious if anybody has owned more than 18 C7 corvettes since they have come out. I was just going through my phone and looking at the pictures of all the ones I've had and I forgot about some. LOL! So I know for a fact I've had 18 of them, but I might be forgetting a few in there. I've had 2 Stingrays, 1 Z51, 1 Grand Sport, and 14 Z06s. I've had coupes and convertibles and have literally had all the packages (1lt, 2lt, 3lt, 1lz, 2lz, 3lz). I've also had Z07 cars. So is anybody else out there crazy like me? I am averaging a new one every 3 1/2 months (bought my first 2014 in April 2014 and the last one I bought was a 2019 last month). This doesn't even include the dealer demos.

Yep, that's crazy. While realizing it's much easier and less expensive for you to purchase so many C7s than the typical enthusiast, what's your motivation for wanting to?

You might ask at Kerbecks.

My biggest reason for changing cars all the time is so when a customer asks me a question, I know the answer. Example would be what are the differences in packages, ride quality with different suspensions, and how the cars handled differently. I also like to see the changes throughout the years and mid model changes.

I'm actually curious if anybody at Kerbeck or any of the other big dealers have done this. That's why I started this thread. LOL!

Isn't that a primary purpose of dealerships providing their sales people with demos?
Purchasing a new C7 every 3.5 months must not only be expensive (even though I assume you have something worked out with dealership) but a pain in the ***, considering changing registration, insurance etc? Then there's all that sales tax.

You can't do as much with a demo as your own personal car. For instance, I won't take a demo on the track, but a personal one, I will. Also whenever I drive a demo, it just doesn't feel as good as my own personal car. LOL!

Kevin A Jones

I can certainly understand that, I feel similar to leasing cars as opposed to buying. It just doesn't feel the same as owning to me.
I get attached to cars, so don't change so frequently, to each their own. Thanks for sharing it with us, very interesting.

I hope you're buying those as a broker.... or the state is making a killing in sales tax and license plate fees!!!!

~Stingray

Do you own the deapership and run dealer plates? With 18 vettes you have to be at 100k in just sales tax and fees by now!.

speed4tu

Nice sales tactic with the huge font and post! Any chance you had 18 of them trying to find one without a faulty transmission??? lol

rogergcam

WOW! Give that guy a Dewey button!

GoatHead

Buying 18 expensive cars so you can give your customers feedback?! I call B.S.

There is one person who seems to get a brand new Vette for every season change, that would be HARVEY T. GLUCK.

Kevin A Jones

I believe he purchases one of each new model year, that's quite different from buying a new one every 3.5 months.

Skid Row Joe

"Owned," as in buying and licensing and paying sales tax as we do?

0Corvettes@FHDaileyChevrolet

The state is making its money. LOL!

0Corvettes@FHDaileyChevrolet

I do have dealer plates, but I don't put them on my personal cars.

0Corvettes@FHDaileyChevrolet

I always use larger fonts in my main post so people that have a hard time seeing can read it better or people that have small computer screens. Also I only had one transmission with a problem on all 18 and it was fixed and then it was fine.

0Corvettes@FHDaileyChevrolet

I have all 18 contracts signed and dated. So you can call BS, but I know the truth.
