JT from Maryland was the first deposit on the Stingray and the first Stingray ordered...and the first to cancel after the car had been built...business decision caused him to cancel and he felt sick on many levels...a split second after JT cancelled I get a call from Marty W in Oregon, he was referred from another West Coast C7 customer of mine. He wants a Stingray asap...I said "How would a Black 7spd manual 2LT do?" He echoed loud enough " I will take it!" So he called just at the right moment literally and I walked up to the GSM and said John cancelled but Marty wants the Stingray that's built and in route! So Marty's Stingray left Criswell today after we Fed Ex'd the paperwork back and forth the last two days and his new 2014 Stingray is headed to his stable of exotic cars in Oregon where he resides.>>> Marty made my day today, after his Stingray was loaded on the Plycon truck headed West and I had forwarded pictures to him he gave me one of the highest compliments that I could receive...he said and I quote " Mike, I have owned 30 Ferrari's and countless exotic cars over the last 50 yrs of buying new cars and I just have to tell you...You are the Best, You are a Pro!" " You made the whole process seamless!" I thanked him for the kind words and said for him to call me when he receives his Stingray. Enjoy the pics of Marty's 1st Stingray but not his last from me. This is 1 of 9 Stingrays headed to Oregon that I have sold this quarter...4 will be drop shipped to the same dealer in Bend, Oregon!

A lot of us have the privilege of working with Mike. There are good Corvette sales people all over the country but in my opinion there is none better then Mike.
We could all wear campaign buttons that read:

I LIKE MIKE.

Dam that looks awesome. I was a late comer to the C6 having bought a 2003 Z06 in 2004 after seeing photo's of the C6. I finally came around and owned 2 C6's but for me right now the C7 is the best Corvette ever produced.

You new owners are very fortunate and I envy you.

Way to go Marty. Congrats.

Hey Mike is it just me. The car in the first shot (gassing up) the calipers look yellow and red in all the other shots.

Thanks
