Welcome to Buyavette.net (formerly American Sportscar Center). We are an independently owned and operated Corvette specialty dealer which opened in October 1991. Our employees possess a vast array of extensive Corvette knowledge and experience. As a standalone Corvette store in Atlanta, Ga, we know our success depends on delivering superior service in every aspect of the business. As enthusiasts ourselves, we look to maximize the buying and ownership experiences for loyal repeat buyers, friends and new buyers. Relationships are very important to us. Some of us have owned a Corvette going back to 1966 as well as having been in the Corvette business for twenty plus years. We support many Corvette Clubs, NCRS events, and intend to continue this trend. We also have a great working relationship with many services within the Corvette business including Vestris Vettes, Callaway Corvette, MTI Racing, and NCRS, as well as GM Performance Parts. Our belief in the Corvette makes our jobs enjoyable, whether it is a 1958 or 2009 model. In turn, anyone visiting our store will feel a remarkable difference in not only our attitude, but also the information and knowledge we are willing to share with our customers. We believe in a consultative selling process without high pressure and demeaning tactics. We are capable of discussing every aspect of a Corvette from frame condition to performance parts to finance assistance. We are a dedicated Corvette specialist dealer who only buys and sells Corvettes -- we are not a franchise Chevrolet dealer, for we are not interested in carrying the full line of Chevrolet products. Therein lies the difference: we are able to concentrate 100% on Corvettes. Where else can you buy a pre-owned Corvette and find the entire staff made up of Corvette enthusiasts, from NCRS trained sales staff to ASE Certified mechanics? Although we realize that we will not appeal to everyone, we certainly hope to be everything to those who share our vision. The Corvette began 50 plus years ago by a few who shared the passion of performance sportscars. Today, they are unequaled as the best performance sportscar for the money. Humiliating its worldwide competition costing up to six times that of our beloved American warrior, both on and off the track, Corvettes are considered a true force to be reckoned with in the sportscar arena. Whether you are interested in an investment, a weekend driver, or a daily driver, allow us to assist you in finding the perfect Vette for your needs. We take our business very seriously; both as a passion for the product, as well as assisting our loyal customers to fulfill their dreams. We are not claiming to be perfect, but we do promise to aspire to those ends.
WARRANTY: We offer a FREE 5 YEAR/100K WARRANTY with purchase of all vehicles, with the exception of project cars. This powertrain warranty is a limited warranty and covers engine, transmission, and water pump up to a reasonable amount per occurrence. This is a nationally known multi-million dollar backed warranty and therefore claims can be made in all 50 states as well as U.S. territories. Furthermore, our warranties are accepted at most Chevrolet dealers as well as nearly any general service center that honors fleet accounts. Additional information is available on request.
Additional extended warranties are also available. These extended warranties are more closely related to a factory bumper-to-bumper warranty and would cover electrical issues such as power windows, power door locks, headlights, and seat motors, as well as other issues not covered by our standard free warranty. We are an authorized dealer for GMAC Warranties (General Motors) & Wynn's Warranties. These warranties are offered on vehicles up to 10 years of age and range from limited to full coverage (12 to 36 months). Please inquire with a sales assistant for copies of and pricing for these warranties.
GAP INSURANCE: We offer additional gap insurance to cover the difference between what an insurance company will cover and the total investment you have in your car. Gap insurance becomes important in the unfortunate situation of your vehicle being stolen or totaled. Please ask your a sales assistant for specific information and pricing.
TRADE-INS: We accept ALL cars on trades; your car need not be a Corvette in order for us to take it in. Please bring your car in for an estimate. If you would like to get an idea of your trade value, you may use some of the online price guides to obtain an estimate; we recommend Kelly Blue Book (http://www.kbb.com) and NADA (http://www.nadaguides.com). As is the case with all dealerships, trade-ins are valued with a realistic wholesale price rather than a retail value. In some cases, you may want to consider selling your trade via private party if you are looking to get closer to a retail value.
YES, WE BUY CORVETTES: We are interested in buying any and all nice, rust-free, driving Corvettes. Jack Stanford is on ready and willing to assist you with your questions. Please call and ask for him or e-mail him directly at jack@buyavette.net. We do our best to offer a fair price when buying vehicles for our inventory; however, you may wish to consign your Vette with us if our offer does not meet your needs. Click here for more information regarding the sale of your Vette.
CONSIGNMENTS: We are always looking for Corvettes for consignment. Although we own the vast majority of the cars on our lot, consignments are always welcome. If your Vette is in good working order with a nice frame and no major issues, then simply bring it here and we will do all the work for you! We advertise our Vettes on our website as well as AutoTrader, Corvette Trader Online, Used Corvettes For Sale, Hemmings Motor News, DuPont Registry, Old Car Online, CorvetteStore.net, and other national publications. Because we can represent your Corvette properly, arrange financing, offer our free 5 year warranty, accept trades, and arrange shipping anywhere in the world, it makes sense to leave the hassles associated with selling up to us. If your car is older, particularly rare, or has extremely low-mileage, we will consider agreeing to keep it in our beautiful climate-controlled indoor showroom. No need to be concerned about the safety of your vehicle; our staff will respect and love your Corvette as if it were their own. With over 1,000 sales of consignments, and 100% customer satisfaction, we are confident that you will be pleased with our results. Click here for more information regarding the consignment of your Vette.
DELIVERIES: We are accustomed to delivering vehicles anywhere in the U.S. and abroad. We will arrange for the vehicle to arrive directly to the port of demarcation. For U.S. deliveries, we will arrange the best and most cost-efficient delivery method for each customer. Additional information on transporting is available here. Please contact us for more information if necessary.
TEST DRIVE POLICIES: Due to insurance policies, a Sales Representative must accompany all customers on test drives. Under GA law, a purchaser of any vehicle must be at least 18 years old. We do not purchase customers license tags under any circumstances. Please allow 30 days from the date of purchase for the state to process your title work. Some consigned cars may not be available for test drives due to the wishes of the owner. We hope that you will respect this as well as we do.
