With an internationally recognized reputation for expertise in Chevrolet Corvette, Mike Vietro has operated his specialty dealership, Corvette Mike, in multiple states for over 40 years. Having helped both seasoned Corvette enthusiasts build on their collections and first-time buyers achieve the dream of owning America’s sportscar, Corvette Mike has made a lot of friends over the years.
“I’ve been very fortunate in business,” said Mike. “I love what I do, I’m blessed with an exceptional team of dedicated professionals, and we love helping our customers.”
With that said, Mike noticed a shift in the buying trend.
“Corvettes are selling very, very well, they’ve gained popularity in recent years. But, a lot of people are dipping their toes in the exotic car market,” he said. “They’re looking into Ferraris and Aston Martins, they’re interested in Bentleys, and why not? Very often, they cost about as much as a regular new car. But, if you’re a car enthusiast, or even just like cars a little bit, you likely would rather spend your money on a pre-owned exotic than a brand-new car.”
Building on this, Mike has expanded the dealership to include a portfolio of fine exotic cars.
“The market is flooded with exotic cars, there are a lot of tempting deals out there, but it can be very dangerous for a buyer who is unfamiliar with exotic cars,” said Mike. “The cheapest exotic car is always the most expensive. I want to make sure my customers are happy with their purchase, and part of that experience is ensuring the cars I sell are in the best shape, the best condition they can be. At the moment, we’ve got a great selection, and it’s only going to get better.”
While most usually go to Corvette Mike’s to buy a Corvette, Mike reminds us that his company is also a consignment specialist.
“We’ve helped a lot of people sell their cars, be it a Corvette or anything else,” he said. “It’s a lot less stress on the seller, and sometimes the buyer, to let a licensed dealership handle the transaction. It’s also a lot safer.” Find out more here.
