He didn't believe me....Saturday was proof of my point...I have 3 going today and all of them are manuals as well. I have personally been selling Corvette's for 34+ yrs and have delivered over 2,000 new Corvette's...but what do I know.

Isuzu trucks, Callaway Supercharged and over 300 used vehicles...and I can sell any of the brands. 2 Different Campus's 4 miles apart. I usually work by appt's when going to another building as I am based out of the Chevrolet Car building...shocker huh.

Hey Mike -

Thanks for a seemless transaction! Unfortunately you were running around like a mad man Saturday AM so we couldn't talk cars all that much but very much appreciate you getting my deal done. For those of you that don't know, I called mike 2 weeks prior to, we talked numbers, and he gave me a number on my 08 based on a final look at the dealership.

I drove down, everything was completed as promised over the phone - no hassles/changes/etc.

Great Experience...

And now the modding begins!

Nish,
It was my pleasure. I know after 34 yrs of doing this that there has to be a two way street of trust when appraising a car over the phone. With that being said, experience pays off for accuracy. I don't deal in gray area's, I am a very black and white guy and I treat everyone the way that I would want to be treated. I am sure you have heard that before but I believe perfect practice makes perfect. Enjoy the new Grand Sport and all that it will offer you. Night Race Blue Metallic is a Fantastic (most probably) 1 yr color!

So are you mainly selling vettes then? Sounds like the best case senario for a car salesman to be able to sell vettes and be on the corvetteforum all day. Do you actually own one Mike?

I have owned 12 Corvettes and 44 Musclecars over the last 34 yrs of driving. 11 at one time, battery upkeep was Hell! For Corvette's: 1959,1961, 1988's cpe and 35th Anniv., 1992,1993 Convt,1999,2005 Cpe and Convt and 2006 Convt and Z06 are the years of the 12 I have owned. I have also raced at many tracks thru out the USA testing the prototype C6 and C6 Z06's as well as the ZR1's and Callaway Supercharged Camaro's,Corvette's and Trucks. The best part is that Chevrolet and Callaway covers the tab. Coolest Racing experience was Racing with Jackie Stewart at Road Atlanta...together(1995). He is incredibly talented behind the wheel. Very meticulous. Coolest spectator experience hands down is attending/and being on the track for Chevrolet.... at the 24hrs of Lemans 2011 Race...especially since the Corvette Won!

It's always nice to see some great looking new vettes being delivered to some very happy owners.

Busy is good.

Congratulations to all of the new owners.
