Quotes for me - 380 miles was like $1100..... I just rented a enclosed car hauler from a local place - and it was $100 a day, for 2 days... $250 in gas...
We stopped at the casino to rest during the trip back, and my woman won $300 LOL
It was a good Adventure getting my first Corvette !!!

I've been using all the search engines, but frightened about buying unseen in person. How was the shipping? I also have my C6 to trade which makes a substantial difference in sales tax.

I used CarGurus. Shipping was excellent just took longer than expected as the shipping company didn’t pick up car until 4 weeks after I bought it. Sight unseen can be scary but worked out for me thankfully. What are you looking for?

Not to hijack this thread, I got my C7 from Carvana. They brought me my car for free and picked up my trade the same day. Once they get there they give you time to inspect and drive the car. If you don’t like it you can send it back. Once you accept the car they give 7 days and 400 free miles to make sure you want it. If in that 7 days you can send it back and get another car or your money back. And if you tell them I referred you, you get a 500 dollar discount. They also give you a 100 day bumper to bumper warranty. Good luck finding your car.

Congratulations!!! I LOVE Reliable! Once, I had a flat tire on I-40, just west of Flagstaff. It was January. Outside temp was in the teens. Snow/ice berms were four-feet high and covered more than half of shoulder. My spare was underneath on right side. I didn’t have a shovel. A Reliable truck pulls up, blocking right lane traffic. He digs out berm with his gloved hands, lowers spare, and changes my flat! I wrote a letter of appreciation to Reliable for hiring such an admirable driver!
