Indeed it is! She's an awesome lady. I also suggested he could reach out to Anna from Betten Baker as well...

Both ladies are great to talk with and work with.

I bought my '17 ZL1 sight unseen. Got my loan and worked with dealer over the phone. Flew to Dallas and drove it home. Best & easiest car purchase of my life.

I bought mine out of state without looking at the car, but I bought it from Becky.
No hassle, everything went so smooth.
That being said, I’d recommend going to a dealer to at least sit in the car to see what it feels like.
Good luck with your purchase.

I bought my 1LE sight unseen out of state. Did everything over the phone and drove a rental car 4hrs to pick it up and then drove the Camaro home. Took 20-30 mins at the dealer and I was out of there. No issues.

Glad people had no issues during pick up. Maybe they put in alot more quality control standards since June of 2016 when my 2ss loaded was finally delivered to my dealership. Oh wait its GM.. Still wouldn't trust it.

If you can trust the dealership example BECKY. I would buy site unseen as i know she inspects all her customers camaro's to make sure they are immaculate before they would ship from her dealership.

Thats' crazy talk.
You wouldn't get married site unseen or without a test drive. (or?...)

I bought mine from a dealer 1789 miles away without seeing it in person. Car was flawless minus some dirt on it. I would make sure its from a Chevrolet dealer, and you should be safe in my book.

Find a better dealer. The sales manager or internet sales manager can dealer trade a car by your specs. Then they pick it up and you inspect it.

Just bought a USED 2016 sight unseen from 1000 miles away (Van Horn Chevrolet in Newhall, IA). 6000 miles of the odometer.

It had all the options I wanted: 6 speed, gunmetal wheels, mag ride, 2SS, kalahari & sunroof.

I put in an inquiry over the weekend. Early Monday a salesman, Bow Tie Mike, took videos of the vehicle and sent them to my cell. He followed up with an email and phone call.

I gave them a deposit to hold it. They drew up a Purchase Agreement. Next day they had the paperwork overnighted. I signed and sent back along with my finance check.

I flew to Iowa, they had it parked indoors with my name on it and a huge bow on the windshield. I did a short test drive. I picked it up, all the paperwork had already been done and was in the glovebox.

Drove back to D.C.

Couldn’t have asked for a smoother transaction.

Don't Do It!!!!! We found a "new" loaded 2017 SS Convertible on the internet. The car was stunning in red and black and equipped with every available option. In the photos, it looked like a dream car. When we went to look at it, the engine was filthy, it was covered with scratches and swirls and the interior was a mess. None of these defects showed up in pictures. It turned out that this red and black "beauty" was a GM show car, titled as new, that had been displayed at various events around the country. Needless to say, we didn't buy it, and ended up with the 2018 Redline SS Convertible shown in the attached photo. We are delighted with our 2018 but would have been sick at heart if we had purchased the black and red car without looking at it. There was no attempt to deceive on the part of dealer, but different people have different ideas about how a car should look when purchased as new. If the OP is particular, like we are, he might be sorely disappointed with his purchase. We certainly would have been after buying a close to $60,000 dollar car without looking at it first.

I did that one time and bought a brand new MazdaSpeed 3 back in 2011 and it worked out fine. I saved at least 5K by buying it at a dealer 100 miles away. I bought it and only communicated through E Mail- the dealer was great and responsive. I fed Ex'd them a check and they delivered the car on a flat bed. The car was perfect, not a ding or a scratch and fully detailed. it was one of the best cars I ever bought and I only paid 22K for it. I'd still have it if it didn't get totaled. By comparison I paid almost double for my new RS- I could have saved probably at least 5k if I bought it elsewhere but it had a special tire and wheel package that I just had to have.

Just got mine in Saturday, Sight unseen from 800+ miles away. Looking for a used car with a certain set of options, and this one fit the bill. It helped that it was used with only 400 miles though, would have been a little worried with something with more mileage than that. I looked at a few around town and to my surprise there weren't many. The ones I did find smelt like cigarettes or were already pretty beat up. Overall I am pleased, I got a good deal and the car is immaculate. Planned on paint correction and ceramic coat anyway so slight surface scratches were not a huge issue for me.

Normally I would be skeptical of purchasing a car without seeing it but I had a great experience with Becky as many others have stated. I wouldn't hesitate to take delivery of a car sight unseen from her.....excellent buying experience, best I have had yet. Several forum members have had their cars shipped to them from her and been pleased with the results if you take a look around.
