Kerbick Chevrolet, from what I can tell is the largest volume Corvette dealer in the US (1200+ per year).  And they typically have great prices because of this.

I was curious if there is an equivalent for Camaro's, Mustang's, STi's, or other similar vehicles? A few quick google searches isn't turning up much.

Heuberger in Colorado is pretty popular for Subarus

In reply to Dootz :

The are popular but the pricing isn't that much better than any other place to be honest. At least not a noticeable enough difference for a fly and drive. If you live in the front range like me then it would make sense. At least not like kerbick.

Not to nitpick, but it is Kerbeck. I know, they are local to me. At least two of his dealerships are.

Based on the inventory on their website, Subaru of Kennesaw seems to be moving close to 2 WRXs per day lately. Most of the other dealers in the Atlanta area only have 1 or 2 on the lot at a time.

Galpin is pretty well known for being the place to get GT's and Shelby's for sure.

There was a Dodge place that was the world's largest Viper dealer but I don't know if they transitioned to Hellcat's for MSRP or not.

Man I just did a quick search of their inventory and looks like they’re selling 2019 base stingrays for 45k. That’s a lot of car for the price of a loaded genesis

They usually have some sort of loyalty or financing bonus in their final numbers. That is the additional $4K they listed on there. But even the pretty much 10K off across the board isn't bad.

Yeah, a brand, spanking new GS for $58k is quite a lot of car for the money. I wonder if as the C8s start to arrive they will start giving that $4k in loyalty cash to everyone to get the C7s off the lot. 

 

I just looked around and saw lots of '19 Camaro 1SS 1LEs advertised for under $40k. If you could get one for $37-38k that would also be a ton of car for the money. Unfortunately I won't be able to do anything until about this time next year.

I believe that's Viper Exchange in Tomball,TX on the outskirts of North Houston. Owned by Ben Keating the endurance racer. 

actually it's not... I was googling as I was writing this and it's a dealer in North Carolina, Gerry Wood Dodge. 

But the Viper Echange is cool, they've currently got a Senna in inventory I saw, and I like Ben keating's story as a dealer turned racer.

Sometimes if you buy from one of the big name dealers they have people in the shop that actually know the car.  I'd buy a Corvette from a dealer that moved 1200 a year before I'd get one from a mom and pop dealer who hired a mechanic just out of tech school.  IIRC Danny Popp who was featured in GRM awhile back after setting autocross records in his C5 worked at a big Chevy dealer in Cincinnati.   So yeah.  The big dealers will have "all the best people" to borrow a line from DJT  :-)

In reply to spacecadet :

Viper Exchange is a really cool toy box store but Ben never moved volumes from there or really through the rest of the Lavaca auto group that he owns. For the longest time it was Woodhouse Dodge out of Blair, NE when woodhouse was running GT1 ACR's in endurance racing but they have gone away from that.

I think most would prefer that. But living in OKC, a dealership on the east coast that's nearly 1500 miles away doesn't make much sense for service. :)

Wasn't someone posting on here a while back about some place in Maryland that had sub-$30k 392 Challengers? Think there was another one with cheap Mustang GTs as well.

I've seen that before........but it doesn't look like they do anything else? How long is the clutch going to live, all that boring stuff.
