Default Opinions Please

Sorry to bust in on your thread like this but I figured you guys would be the ones to ask. I have a real h...let's just say I am very excited about a car at Cooper's Corvettes. I was wondering if you guys had any dealings with them as they are in Triangle, VA and what your opinions (honesty counts) are. Thanks in advance.

BTW I live in C'ville and am hoping to crash one of your dinners if I can ever get my dispatcher to let me go home on the date needed. Hope the engine install went well.

Coopers Corvettes is a decent setup I have known the one partner there, Bob Arnold for many years, as he used to run w/ another friend of mine back when he had a 406 1990 Corvette

The service manager there, Tom McGrath is also a great fella and I have used his services since the early 90's

I believe CrispyC21 has bought and sold Vettes from there and his 97 may have been from there??? Hopefully he will chime in...

I have heard from others, the prices can be a bit higher than "in the paper" however, they are a business and if you don't like the prices, I always say - you gotta start somewhere

Hope this helps

Thanks for the response. Greatly appreciated. Now I need to plan and scheme on getting that sweet 90. Have an 86 but its bone stock and a good "training wheel" car

BTW tell them that their webpage rocks. Love it

I purchased my first vette from there about five years ago and I also purchased my current 97 from them. I also have them do most of my service. Tom (service manager) has always treated me good and his team does very good work. They always know how to talk me into buying a nice set of wheels or an exhaust. You won’t get a steal on the price but you won’t get a piece of crap. Of course you can haggle a little. Give them a price and see what they say. Which 90 are you looking at?

Are you looking to trade the 86 for a the 90?

There is a nice 96 Grand sport for sale with a 383 motor for 25k.... Note, this is NOT my car. There is another GS with a 383 in the area.
