Default WOW Mac Mulkin

This morning's MM list shows 126 cars coming off the line next week , when you add the Thru and Fri numbers they could exceed 200 cars for the week .
What would make that truly amazing is in one week they would have exceeded what every dealer would get in an entire year ,except for Kerbeck, Stanford , Criswell and Bomnin
Obviously risk has its rewards ,

Congradulations to the Mac Mulkin Team

I humbly request MacM cease all deliveries for a 90-day period so my car can remain more exotic to the general public for a bit longer.

Thank You.

I'm glad to be a customer, but to be honest it was Zymurgy who put me on the MacMulkin express. This being said, it's good that someone on the Corvette staff is checking out this forum several times a day and communicating with us.

Another extremely happy and impressed customer here as well. Even if the car was not in high demand, I really can't see myself ever buying a Corvette from another dealer..... And I live on the opposite coast from them....

Communication is key - even if it's at 4:30 am with my first cup of coffee in-hand and I'm trying to type with toothpicks holding up my eye lids

I have no idea how the allocations work from year to year, but given the opportunity I believe MM could get to #1 .

Agreed. MacM is the “Gold Standard” for Corvette dealerships that others should be ranked against and almost certainly for any car they sell. Many, if not most dealers simply aren’t on the same planet when it comes to what makes a difference. Most have blinders on and no clue. I’m sure it pays back MacM in spades as it should. “Communication” and going the extra couple of feet with a “human touch” is all the difference when it comes to customer confidence.

This is encouraging. Considering that someone wants to buy my 2020 for 20K over sticker and I REALLY love the new Red Mist, I may be giving you guys a call. When do you start taking orders for 2022?

Thanks
