Testimonials

The Corvette team of Van Bortel who I worked with to purchase my 2019 Corvette were the best. I have been taken care by a team of true pros!

We did most of the conversation via the Corvette Forum. Matt had a great price but it was simply out of my reach. I countered an offer. Instead of saying no or making another counter offer, he showed me how I can get that deal! The rest was history. That’s what separated Matt from other salesmen. Our conversation started with me being interested in a used Z51 they had in stock. Then I went from buying that to buying a new GS! I traded two my cars. I drove 7 hours with car one the first week; then drove home in a rental. I drove back with my other car following week. The final paperwork process took literally 20 minutes. What was surprising is that Matt didn’t charge me any of those dealer fees. I almost bought it from another dealer last month who added $900 in extra fees!!! At Van Bortel, I literally paid temp tag fee and another mandatory NY state fee – that’s it. When comparing to other dealers that charges many fees, this was an advantage. I have to say HUGE thanks to Matt for making the process so easy!

We took delivery of our 2014 Lime Rock Green Corvette from Van Bortel and are totally pleased with the car and the experience of dealing with the company. Matt, our salesman, was a complete professional and handled everything very well, from over the phone, the internet, to completing the paperwork and a through explanation of the car. We highly recommend Matt and Van Bortel!

We just purchased our first new Corvette, after having bought ‘pre-enjoyed’ twice in the past. First time dealing for new with Matt, and it was a good experience. We have moved up a little with each trade, and now with a Grand Sport we have the car we wanted. We know the car will be great, and from past experience we know any service we need will be great too. Van Bortel has the right people.

We felt that all concerned got a fair deal with the least amount of stress or hassle. Matt was personable and very helpful; answered all of our questions and made the whole experience enjoyable. We’ll be back for another Vette in the future!

Great experience!! There was no pressure, yet the Van Bortel staff we worked with were very knowledgeable, professional and personable. I would highly recommend the dealership to anyone considering a new Corvette or any other vehicle. In particular Steve and Matt were great to work with.

I met the some of the team at Carlise over the summer and I never knew until then how many Corvettes they sell. I went the following week to look a a used one. It’s nice to see they know so much about the cars, as this is not the typical experience I have seen in the past. I started seriously looking in October and Matt was the one to help me with everything from trading in my old one to financing ect. I wish I lived closer to have your team take care of the maintenance. Just good to know I can just call and talk to someone who knows what they are doing. Thanks matt and I will be pushing hard with my Corvettes of Buffalo club to use you all thanks !!

I had an excellent experience with Matt when purchasing a 2017 Corvette. All aspects of the transaction were handled in an outstanding manner. I would certainly highly recommend Matt and Van Bortel for your Corvette buying experience.

I love my new car and Matt was courteous and professional!

We purchased a 2004 red Corvette from Van Bortel. Steve Kosko was our salesperson that worked with us. Steve is a real gentleman and above and beyond individual. Kudos to the whole staff. Kitty should be proud. Thank you so much!
