MacMulkin = Best car buying experience ever.
Configure your car online. Apply the current discount off MSRP (Probably not on current C8s). That's your price. No BS, No prep or admin fees. They were able to beat my credit union's rate for financing. Just sign a ton of papers, deliver the payment. They handled the transfer with my insurance agent and put temporary NH plates on the car at no charge and I was on my way in about 45 minutes.

Most other dealers have a lot to learn about customer service.

One thing that is cool about buying a car in New Hampshire is that there is no state sales tax. The price you are quoted is what you pay. You get a "temporary" New Hampshire tag and drive it home. Your sales tax is then collected by your own state's DMV when you register it. You don't avoid the tax, but you at least can buy yourself a little bit of time before having to cough it up.


The fact that MacMulkin doesn't charge you "admin" or "processing" fees is kind of nice when you are trying to figure the out-the-door price. Sometimes, those fees (I call them 'ADP' for additional dealer profit) can really foul up what looks like a good deal. Here in Virginia, they run anywhere between $400 and $900.........which is quite a haircut for something that is not required by law (such as taxes, title or tags) when you buy a car.

Kerbeck and Criswell (Mike Furman, especially) are also good places to shop for the best selection & price and both of them will give you their bottom line price - including their fees - without a lot of hassle. Mike Furman probably knows more about Corvettes than the people who build them! You also have to consider that some dealers who quote you a "great" price might even have the allocations necessary to actually GET you the Corvette that you want, especially on a factory-order. Mike Furman was excellent in that regard and got me the exact car I wanted in about seven weeks.

Bought my 13 GS from Macmulkin. Great experience and seamless process.
Never went to the dealership. Had the car shipped from NH to NJ by Intercity. Great experience.

Default Great Sales and Service

I bought my 19 Grandsport at MacMulkin, the whole experience was extremely pleasant and smooth
You knew up front what all the costs would be and there was no nickle/dime charges.
The sales staff was extremely knowledgeable, they expertly trained me on the infotainment system and the various drive modes as well as all the other creature comforts
With such a large selection of vehicles in stock you have to be pretty picky to need to order one (like me!)

The service Department is equally outstanding, they mounted a set of Z-06 rims I purchased elsewhere for me when I took receipt of the car and only charged me $100.
Since then they have gone out of their way to insure my satisfaction, example: I have been back 3 times for seized AFM valves. These valves appear to be a notorious problem with us who like to track our cars, they will fail after only one day at the track if really push.
Their tech worked together with me on a solution that should end the AFM issue for me going forward, he did his own research on both GM and aftermarket approaches, even some suggestion from this forum.

I recommend this dealer to everybody looking to purchase a Chevrolet or Cadillac.
They truly care about their customers

Great place especially if your undecided on color. Bought my C7 back in 2014 and was able to see all the colors in person and pick the color that caught my attention the most. It was the easiest car purchase no sales person BS.

Did you get an actual NH title, or just a MCO (Manufacturer Certificate of Origin) along with the temp tag?

I think you only get a title from the state your car is permanently registered in.

Wow, I had no idea! I have a winter home in northern NH and will be stopping in soon on my way north. If I ever register my car in NH, it would be a great place to have the state inspection done.

Wait a second. I lived in NH and I think you have this backward!

I agree on MacMulkin and Intercity - seamless on both counts!!

As I posted in previous threads, I bought my 2019 StingRay from MacMulkin even though I live only a little more than an hour away from Kerbeck here in NJ. Best auto purchase/lease transaction I've ever had in over 50 years of buying/leasing over 30 different vehicles. GREAT people to deal with! As to the showroom and overall dealership, it's really worth a trip to see. At the time I picked up my car the 2nd and 3rd floors were just absolutely packed with C7's of every color and model. Plus, one of the salesmen told me they have a whole second building in town that is full of more new Corvettes in their inventory! They--obviously--keep their entire Corvette inventory cleaned/prepped and indoors. It's quite an operation. They have one employee whose full-time job is moving the cars around so he can pull out the particular car that was purchased, get it into their elevator, and then down to the ground floor for final prep and delivery. They'll also special order a car to your specs and colors--that's what I did--with no BS or any price issues.

Default Checking Furman and MacMulkin

Hi - after reading some of threads - have started the process of ordering - still need to decide between Coupe or Convertible.
I understand that the back glass doesn’t go down flush with the body... kind of like rear windows on old Tahoes.... while I
like the idea of a quickly dropping the top, and not taking up storage room in the Trunk.... I really miss not being able to see the engine
Under the hatch. Of course, there is the additional $7,500 too.

Thanks for the info -
think they would take a trade in?

I assume you're joking about trading in that gorgeous C1, but yes, they do take trades "long distance";I traded in my C6 and worked out a very good deal over the phone by sending photos and documentation to Tommy Jr.
