I would rather drive a Ford than buy from kerbeck.

Wanted to trade my C4 for a C5 there. Even though they had a few C4s on the lot with 17 to 30K miles and wanted 23K for them, they told me my car would be worth alot less because of "frame damage". They refused to tell me what the galves book is, I could go on and on. My friend had a C5 vert he was thinking of trading in for a Z-06, they told him because he did not have the run flats it would cost them 2K to "re-tire" the car.

Good luck

Oh, and they would not show me the "frame damage" on my second owner 15K C4.

Rick,

Is there anything I should look for when buying a C5? Are there any recurring problems I should look into, any reliable dealers that you know of in the north east? I would buy from you if you were closer!!! Thanks

Tim

TIM,

Kerbeck is a good dealer from all I have heard. They are the largest dealer in the nation, Les Standford In Dearborn MI. is #2 and we are #3. If they have what you are looking for then I would say go for it.

Rick,

Thanks!!!! How far from Atlanta are you? If I ever go there for work again, which is a strong possibility, I will stop by. Mabey I will cash in my plane ticket home for a ride home in a C5.

Thanks Again!!!

I don't know about anyone else in here, but I sure wouldn't mind breaking that C5 in on a nice long road trip from Atlanta back to NY.

I bought my Vette from Kerbeck last June. Salemans name was Dave Brown. Easiest car purchase I ever experienced. He quoted me $4,000 off the sticker price plus the $1,000 cash back from GM. All of this quoted over the phone and when I arrived there no punches were pulled. They even buyed me lunch. Large inventory and the showroom is full of old muscle cars and classic Vette's. Worth the drive. When I'm ready for my next one I would definately go there again. Good luck.

Joe,

Did you purchase a new one or a pre-owned C5?
