Local! My dealer was ten minutes away and gave me a great deal that could not be beat by even one of the three largest Vette dealerships I tried. Koon's Chevrolet in Baltimore is awesome!

3 local dealers, 2 did not have allocations and 1 had already used their allocations of 8 when I was ready to order...ordered from Kerbeck on 10/4/13 and picked her up at the museum 1/7/14.

Brother and I bought out of state for same reasons. Local dealerships were at MSRP. Even with the shipping costs we saved $$ by purchasing from MacMulkin.

Out of state. Z51 for under MSRP. Also C2Z and FAY options that are severely constrained. Did NCM delivery. Great experience. No local dealer would touch the deal, many wanted $5,000 over MSRP.

No need to go out of State with Stasek only 8 miles away.

I tried local first and that quickly turned into a runaround and became very apparent it just wasn't going to happen. I will still support my local dealer with "courtesy delivery" and let them do the 2/24 free oil changes though.

Default No Allocations Local

I tried to buy local (State Wide-Wyoming) but no one had anything remotely like I wanted. Most were loaded with features I didn't want priced in the 70's. Most did not have vette mechanics, allocations or primal knowledge of Corvettes. So, I went on the forum, surfed around, found the one I wanted with the features I wanted, in stock, at Coughlin (Rick Conti) in Ohio. Bought it and it is being shipped to me in Casper Wyoming tomorrow.
