I have 35+ C5's.... from stock 1997's to 700hp monsters and everything in between. Everyone of them will be sold under market value and all come with warranties.... (3,000 miles/60days- extended available)

I can finance any term up to $150,000 and I'll give you top dollar for any trade. (I make nothing on your interest rate or trade. It's only to help make the sale on one of my Corvettes.)

When it comes to buying pre-owned Corvettes from the 1950's to '07.... I'm the last stop you'll need to make. I can have your car shipped to your door also.

Call me when you're ready. (678) 492-6843

Thanks guys! I knew there were some people on here that would help me out. I'll get with
my sis and her husband and see exactly what she's looking for, then give her some contact
info. Once again, I appreciate it! And if any individual has theirs for sale, pm me.

Would you like to know what happened when we mystery shopped Maxie like we were customers? One salesman thought that C5's have a spare tire!!!! He went inside to find out where the spare tire was... didn't know what "HUD" stood for (heads up display).... and what's with the (3) different horspower levels ranging from 300, 385, and 400 on a stock LS1? NONE are correct answers!

Oh, and there's more!!! but even more funny was the Bill Heard and Tom Jumper dealerships..... pathetic.

Sad they didn't even know specs that should be the most basic knowledge, how are they (salesmen at generic dealerships) going to educate the customer on all the pitfalls and show you why "x" Corvette is the cherry pick of the bunch? They can't even tell us how much horsepower the damned engine makes!

Oh, and the car that had the front license plate cover removed... he said, "that's a factory option." It was standard and to replace it the cost is $20!!!

But as far as specialty dealerships (Corvette only) and franchise joints..... there's no comparision when it comes to the best possible sales experience....

Where else in one day (just some of our 125+ inventory) can you drive a '63 split window, mid years running big and small blocks including a Triple Crown Winning '67 427 priced $50k below its less documented twin sold for elsewhere--- (Proteam sold theirs for 230k and ours is 179k) You get instant equity when you buy from us!!!!

I give up the list goes on.. here's a thread with pictures... https://ls1tech.com/forums/southern-members/671321-joshua-s-new-job-corvette-heaven-pics.html

Thanks for the kind words Josh..but you obviously have never seen ProTeams inventory in person..so before you put your foot in your mouth again you should visit their facility and you will see that there IS A REASON that their cars bring large $$$$$$$...on the other hand we do not deal in older vintage Corvettes..but if your are looking at a C5 or C6 I'll stack my preowned inventory up with anyones..a long with the buying experience..

Steve, with your last post you just put both feet in your own mouth... how can you compare a niche "Vette only dealer with Maxie's... either vintage, or C5's?

Maxie Price is a plain-jane generic car dealership priced at the very high end of book, staffed with goofballs (aside from you) posing as professionals..... and Proteam has a very "unapproachable" way of doing business.... when you send them an email the 1st reply you get is an extensive, probing credit app... if you don't have $50k minimum they wont even talk to you....

And they still sold their '67 for more with LESS documentation/awards/quality/equity... simply because that same buyer had no idea we had one better......

We'll never be a Proteam, and I'm proud to say that... and THANK GOD we'll never be a Maxie Price either.

Steve...

Calm down guys, you keep going at each other like that and both of you will lose some
possible customers. I talked to my brother-in-law and he would rather buy from an individual,
but if he can't find what sis wants then he may give ya'll a call.

Steve...


It is commendable that you have such loyality to where you work.. But geeze relax dude .. I must have struck a nerve .. I can see that you are jealous of Pro Team..which is very natural on your part .. their reputation for quality is known far and wide..they are the BIG DOG in the vintage Corvette market and you guys wish you were in their league...the big guys always have rocks thrown at them by the wannbes... that is the way of the world...the fact that they got the big money for the car that you keep bringing up proves my point..they got it because of their reputation and folks with deep pockets go see the big dog..that is the market that they have targeted and they seem to do a great job at it ... profit is not a dirty word sir it makes the world go around..but I digress .. we were talking about a used C5 before you started ******* ProTeam ... as I said before if someone is looking for a preowned C5 or a C6 I'll stack my inventory up against anyones..our inventory changes so fast it is crazy ... we get excellent low mile cars in on a daily basis and they leave just as quickly .. you have no clue as to who works at our dealership..I have never seen you set foot on the property .. we are a full line Chevy dealer..but we do specialize in late model Corvettes we do not stock or try to stock vintage Corvettes it is not our market...we have been in the top three in the nation in new Corvette sales for the past ten years..besides myself there are 3 other Corvette specialists here that have many years of Corvette experience and 4.0 CSI ratings on a possible 4.0 score .. you are speaking in generalities my young friend based on what you saw when you worked at a Mazda store..this has turned into a pissing contest which was not my intent..so I'll leave it as it is..and to the person who started this thead good luck in finding your car where ever you find it..peace ..
