Hi everyone! I’m thinking about getting a new Corvette coupe and knew this was the forum to join for all things Corvette. I was a member here in 2000. I had a torch red C5 bought at Frontier Chevrolet in El Reno, OK. Had to sell it in 2002. Now I’m back home in Amelia, Va., retired, and have the bug again. I see Kerbeck Chevrolet is going strong. Any other dealers that can give deals like them?

Welcome back. Criswell in Maryland is high volume with lower prices relative to most dealers, as is MacMulkin in New Hampshire. Kerbeck is still no.1 in volume and I think MacMulkin is no. 2. There is a new dealer in Woodstock, VA, Leckner Chevrolet, who is also specializing in Corvettes and seems to be carrying a lot of cars.

Leckner Chevy will be having a grand opening celebration on May 12. Hendrick is now in Richmond at Short Pump, is relatively high volume withing the chains , and is willing to deal over MSRP.

For the culture, don’t forget the Corvettes at Carlisle is coming up in August.
