Today: It took 14 minutes for this sale of a 2012 Corvette Z06 Centennial edition with cup tires/wheels pkg, ZR1 brakes and ZR1 ground effects. The truck pulled up and the customer said..."thats it".
Enjoy the pics. Call 301 212 4420 for your Corvette forum deal.

spidery-looking wheels. hmm, not bad. people really buy that quickly? talk about decisive decision making.

People with money can make a deal that quick. If he drives it I'm sure he'll be back soon to replace the tires since I think they are 6/32s when new.

Try to pick up the turn around pace - the floor plan is killing you on 14 minute delays

The CE cars just look like baaaad boys.

If you can pull the trigger in 14 minutes when you see a car like this one, close to 100K I imagine, you shouldn't have an issue buying those tires every 5000 to 6000 miles.

That's my dream Corvette, a Z06 with those exact options. Gotta go get a lotto ticket,

He was right. That is it.

Mike, it sounds like you need a more aggressive sales staff if your inventory is sitting around that long!

wow, not often can you say that something is completely modded the way I'd like, from the factory!

some exhaust and drop it down a little, and I would never do another thing to it! amazing

If I had more garage space, I'd like to add one just like it to my collection.

I am the Corvette sales guy, no more Manager for me. I used to be a General Manager(23 yrs) for many years of a small Country Chevrolet store.
Now I enjoy no managerial duties what so ever!
I actually can sell any of the lines of cars that Criswell offers...but clearly Corvettes are the most Fun. www.criswellauto.com

I took a deposit today on a 2013 60th Anniversary 427 Convt...his trade will be the 2012 ZR1 Centennial Edition I sold him a few months ago...his trade on that was a 2012 Rolls Royce...his trade on that was one of the 2 other 2011 ZR1's I had sold him. He also has bought two Camaro SS Convt's from me and a 2012 Camaro SS cpe specially prepared by Callaway. Good customer to say the least.

I bet you guys love it when he comes to the dealership. You could probably get a sale from him when the "newest" Vette comes along. One call, that's all! Definitely the customer you don't want to lose.

Mike Furman@Criswell

He used to live local...He won the largest lawsuit in PG County history and built a house in the hills of Tenn. He buys all his vehicles from me and barely comes to the dealership. He does ship his Corvettes from Tenn to MD for service though! When my Mother passed away last month he sent me a check for $1,000. I donated it (in his name) to the NJ Ambulance Corp that took such good care of my Mother for yrs. and my Father way back when before he had passed.

That is just amazing!

Very good story and great looking car.
I have booked my flight for the 23rd to pick up my mine and have my picture taken LOL.

Really looking forward to meeting you mike and the gang there at Criswell.
Everybody there has been great making this deal happen for me even thought it was long distance

Mike Furman@Criswell

I only just met him in June. He pulled in to dealership at 5:45pm on a Saturday and we close at 6pm. He bought a yellow ZR1 from me and traded in his Cadillac CR-V cpe with only 500 miles if that on it. Then two weeks after that he traded the yellow ZR1 in on a Jetsream Blue ZR1...and the rest is history. He never met my family and he was very sad to learn from our used car mgr that I had also lost my brother suddenly last yr as well. I never told him. He could not have been more compassionate.
