Today, one day in the life at Criswell Chevrolet selling Corvette's.Pictures
I only worked 9am-5pm EST today but as always I packed alot into the day. I usually brown bag it and some days I dont even get a chance for any lunch and forget about dinner. First up I drove up to our Maserati Building to get a 2013 427 Convt that is headed for Vero Beach, FL tomorrow.
Coming back I notice we received another truckload of 2013 Corvette's. I am waiting on several Sold orders so that is good news.
Jim from Ft Lauderdale is waiting on 60th Anniv 427 Convt serial #2530 but it's not on this truckload.
Mike From Verona, NJ drove down in his 5,600 mile 2011 Shelby to trade in and take delivery of his Callaway prepared Suburban 450HP. He had called me awhile back after reading the Dupont Registry while on Jury Duty in NJ!!
for
then a repeat customer picked out a used Jeep...
The Cyber Gray 427 Convt comes down from clean up and gets ready to ship to Vero Beach, FL. Robert is anxiously awaiting it's arrival!
and then we moved a Callaway GS Cpe onto the showroom floor.
and as I was walking out I received a call from Todd stating he will be in Thursday morning to trade in his Z06 for a new 2013 Cyber Gray with Red interior Z06.
~Not to mention the 2 C7 deposits, 30 phone calls, 45 emails I sent and many texts...otherwise it was a typical day at Criswell Chevrolet for me.
Call Mike Furman 301 212 4420 for your Corvette Forum deal. I have 35 yrs of Corvette sales experience as a Corvette enthusiast...just ask any one of my 2,700 Corvette Customers....many of them can be found on this Forum Nationwide.

call 301 212 4420 Mike Furman
After 35yrs of doing this I deal in high volume not high profit. I can sell all the brands that Criswell offers, www.criswellauto.com, so as you can see I stay busy with mostly repeat and referral business.

Are you ready for the snow? That has to be a pain to clean all of those cars and clean up.

hey mike! I was there last saturday getting the lowering bolts and wheels put on my c6. I wanted to visit and say hi, but you weren't at your desk.
It was my first time coming there and I must say, that dealership is amazing! Tons of beautiful cars and the calloway c6 on display makes you drool!

I presume the 2011 Shelby Mustang trade in will be going directly to the compactor! No market for that thing......
Another great photo show, with all the usual and informative anecdotes. Are you sure you didn't narate the Jungle Cruise at Disneyland once upon a time?!
My pigeon holed vision of a car sales person was always one who waited for a custome to come through the door, with the sales person having a cup of coffee in one hand and a donut in the other. You have to wonder what everyone else is doing at Criswell while Mike is doing everything, including being his own lot attendant. Maybe in his spare time he pulls Corvettes out of Criswells inventory for the rest of the Staff!!!
Great job, great story, awesome pics. This is how business is done, folks......with loads of personality at no charge!
