Mike Furman - Criswell.
But I want the high hp variant. Which probably means I'll have to wait a year or so.

What, no Coughlin Chevrolet lol?
Seriously though, I buy from wherever I get the best deal, treatment and process. Unfortunately no dealer typically remains constant in how they do all three.

Rick Conti didn't make the list. Should we expect another video?

I think Rick tasteless u tube videos and his pity party not one time but twice as well as his stunts have many hear in the forum eliminate him and his dealership from the list of potential forum vendors they may elect to inquire about a potential C8 purchase.
I know that the effect I have after his latest videos.
In all fairness I have a great relationship with my local dealer and will be making my purchase and keep my business in my local community.

Regardless of one's opinion of Rick Conti, the reason that Coughlin Chevrolet (Rick Conti) was not listed is because of their position on the list. It takes the sales of their dealership all the way through the 35th dealership on the list to match what the Top 5 sold in 2018.

Man... I really wish they’d do a proper manual, just so I could buy one from Rick C., even if only to **** off those around here giving the guy such a hard time...

Kerbeck, because they're the only people who agreed to sell at MSRP and were capable of answering emails. Tried to put a deposit at Bomnin. After 4 days of auto-responders and dealing with the completely incompetent people at that dealership I just gave up.

Kerbeck is not the only one. The other big forum dealers (Criswell and MacMulkin) policy has long been selling at no more than MSRP.
No one surpasses Furman in terms of responding to inquiries very quickly, but others may be good too.

Why would I believe that since I didn't say that? The two Bomnin dealerships outsold one Criswell dealership by 1.09 to 1 last year. Their two dealerships sold 37 more Corvettes than Criswell last year. Could Criswell outsell their two dealership total this or next year? That's not out of reach at all.
Follow up to your second comment: I understand what you're saying, but I'm polling one segment of a much larger pool of buyers. Bomnin is the only Top 5 dealer from 2018 that is not a Corvette Forum Vendor, so why would anyone think they would have a lot of buy in from the members here in the first place. What I do believe is that Corvette Forum member purchases from Criswell could outnumber Corvette Forum member purchases from Bomnin by 10 to 1.

And that is the key point. CF member AND CF Vendor/Dealer sales vs. CF member and NON-CF Vendor/Dealer sales.CF members could very well buy more Corvettes from Criswell than CF members buying from a non-vendor/dealer.

No first year car is worth full price because i was there for the 68,and 84 both were not worth the time i spent watching the viewing! To many problems could go wrong with vendors and low bid supply of parts! They always GM not correct previous Gen problems!

I will buy local, Last 4 have all been bought here in Austin. Henna gave me a great deal on my 15...oh, wait GM did that with the Credit Union discount. But I ordered on the 2nd of Jan and got delivery on the 3rd of March. Kind of thinking that is what will happen this time also...without the Credit Union discount though.
