Default Anyone familiar with Corvette Warehouse in Dallas?

They seem to have a lot of nice Corvettes at very reasonable prices. Has anyone bought a car from then or have any feedback about them?

Thanks.

Pretty nice place, but the prices are a little high in my opinion. I've never dealt with them personally.

Agreed, their prices in Dallas and Houston seem to be anywhere from 2-4k higher than what some private sellers are selling for.

:iagree: I go there every other weekend, just to look around because they have a good inventory of used vettes of all generations. Sometimes they are not very friendly and will lock all the car doors then try to charge you just to open them up to look at them. I tried to buy an almost new 2003 AE from them a couple of months ago but they wanted full MSRP even though it had been titled and the engine looked like it just had been driven thru a west Texas dust storm, they would not budge on the price. They would not even let me look at the owners manual! Glad I walked out on them - got a much better deal right here on the forum, ($4K off MSRP), and a better car with NCM delivery as well! :auto:

I requested a current C4 price list from them recently and here's what I received.

"In coupes we have a 96 black on tan leather 36k miles $17,500.00 a 96 red on grey leather 63k miles $16,500.00 1996 collectors edition w/ 60k miles $15,900.00."

Those prices seem pretty good to me, especially for a dealer. Also, they list their Vettes are AutoTrader. Their prices on C5s were as good or better than anyone elses.

I have absolutely no knowledge of the C-4 market/prices. I have only been shopping for C-5's.

I've been in to Corvettes of Houston twice and have had the same experience as TEXAN. I was not welcomed in the store, I had to approach the salesman and ask all the questions....had to literally pry info out of these guys. I felt as if these guys thought I was a joke. Even when getting answers they were very short and offerred no additional info. The salesman just kept looking at me like "why are you wasting my time?"

Overall, I was not impressed and would never buy a car from them or recommend them to anyone. Places like that seem to treat people like crap unless you roll up in a Vette, or unless your wearing a Rolex. At least that's how I felt. Chin up and snoot-snoot unless you own a Vette or your looking for your next ....that's how I felt. I'll never go back.

I work too hard to give my money to folks that treat me/others like that. If I'm going to purchase a 28k car from you, I'd better get a little respect/common courtesy.....and even if you don't mean it, a little butt kissin.

Again, the above is just my opinion...have heard several good things about them from other members but can only speak from my experience.

Yeah Carrot, I saw your post and was VERY interested until I saw it was white. Beautful car & good price...just white isn't a favorite of mine. Your car/mods is exactly what I'm looking for. Good luck selling it, I'm sure you'll get what you want for it.

Corvette Warehouse in Dallas is owned by Joe Lyons

There is also Corvettes of Dallas and Corvettes of Houston are a different company owned by someone else.

I think they are a little high also. I shopped for a C5 for almost a year. I checked their website almost daily. Their "current inventory" never changed. I would call.

I wouldn't let my dog crap on their floor :smash: :smash:

I stopped in there once while visiting a friend, and we went in his C5, and I've never come across a bigger bunch of a**holes in a Vette place in my life. They repeatedly acted like they were doing us a favor and worse. I finally told one guy what I thought of him and their cars :cuss :cuss :cuss

I stopped by there first since a buddy leased a Z from them. They were high would not negotiate or take me seriously since I came from the shop (dirty), and has **** for inventory about 7 cars on site. So I bought the same car for 6K less online and drove by to let them see it :auto:

Of all the Vette places in DFW I am getting confused on which one is the bad one... I saw a couple of C5's from CW that had nice prices and decent miles. I am hoping to get one soon myself...

I've only made email contact with them but they were very nice and were willing to send price info. Their web site is not up-to-date on inventory but they will email you a list of their inventory if you ask.
