Help from anyone in the cities? Sears imports in Minnetonka?

Any feedback good or bad? Looking at a mint 1973 Corvette there and I was wondering what their reputation is like locally.

Thank you!

I used to work for their contract tow company many years ago (15 or so). Never heard any bad service stories or such, that I would hear about other dealers. They were concerned about our towing practices to ensure things were being done properly. We did not do an extreme amount of towing for them, so my thought is they do try to ensure that the used cars they sell are reliable. I think they put them through a comprehensive inspection. I would say go for it. They are not a "fly by night" they've been around and will be around for a long time.

Thank you! That is the impression I had based on even a little research so far.

My wife gets her car worked on there . not cheep but not crazy compared to competition .
Sears is close to a lot of money. They often have very nice classics in the showroom some guy got sick if looking at and traded on a amg or something.
They don't sell junk if even a question it us sold to brokers.they built there rep as a high end dealer .heck the first high end dealer in the metro.

Thanks ezra, I think based on feedback on that model year I am no longer interested? The 1973 was under powered compared to the 69 so I am steering in that direction now. More jack but worth it I am told? I have a 2013 Grand Sport I am selling first so for now I am on hold. They do seem like a great dealership, talked to a couple people yesterday over there and they seemed legit!

Thanks again!
