I wanted to see what a hybrid Corvette was like as I plan to by a Corvette in Q1 2027. I thought for sure I should get a Z06, but after experiencing the all-wheel drive of the E-Ray, I'm not sure. This thing is amazing and impressed everyone everywhere we went. Its also very well taken care of and the host is a car guy.

Pickup was easy and clear and the $11 parking cost was refunded! Great communication. No issues with the performance of the vehicle during the trip. Easy 5 star rating for the overall trip, would recommend to any other customers. Only small complaint is that the car wasn’t super clean. But it wasn’t undrivable. Just seemed like the turn around was probably quick (center console had old cables and trash, and the seats and floorboards hadn’t been fully vacuumed up).

The truck was fantastic! Absolutely perfect for moving our son into college and picking up furniture items locally. David was a great host and the truck was immaculate upon picking up. The cover on the truck bed was a welcome feature one rainy afternoon ensuring our stuff remained dry. Would highly recommend and use again in the future.
