Word has it here on the forum that you're jerking people around on price and trying to sell over MSRP and being greedy.

That's quite a jab. Hendrick, do you care to counter-punch?

The Dale Jr. dealer in Tallahassee is part of the Hendrick network and is also a total jerk off fest. I tried to buy one of the 13 2012's leftover and what a nightmare. There is a reason why they STILL have 5 brand new (can they still be called new???) 2012's on the lot. Horrible, horrible, horrible stealership.

This seems to be turning out to be an entire dealer network issue so here is the listing of Hendrick dealers to avoid:

Yea I was one of those that got bite by the hendrick snake. Guess others like my self told them where to stick their $5000 over MSRP. Shouldn't even come on here asking for business Myself and the others you tried to take are on here and will always remember the day Hendricks called and put the shaft to us. Get lost dan go sell all those C6's you were so busy with that you couldn't keep us updated.

We all read how Hendrick's screwed a customer over by jacking the price 5k after agreed upon purchase price, now you have the nerve to post allocations? Get lost!

I hesitate to post this knowing the firestorm that will ensue, however it was pointed out in that thread that the purchase price was not agreed upon in writing prior to deposit and that ,indeed, the purchase price would be set at the time of the allocation for this forum member. When the purchase price was announced and the forum member balked, a prompt refund of deposit was credited.

The dealer even then offered to place the order back for the forum member at MSRP.

Just sayin' "Read the whole thread...not just the attack dog comments"

Your wrong there Rad22. They proof of agreed price was shown. Also shown to them in which they tried to redo the deal. Your the one without the facts.

They will jerk you around. I tried twice to buy from them. Never will I give them the time of day. I will wait before I give them one dollar of my money.

In reading the other thread, all I see as "Proof" from lawdogg149 is the following:

straight off the email from them:



Mr. May, Happy July 4th to you and yours!



Yesterday, General Motors gave us our largest consensus to order and based on your reservation, you can now place your order for a 2014 Corvette Stingray Coupe!



Hope you are excited, as I am, that your day has finally arrived!



Attached you find these documents to help facilitate your order:
1.The GM order guide that will help clarify the options and features
2.An Excel Spreadsheet that will give you the pricing for the options and includes everything except:
1.The interior colors that you will need to identify with your order (see the C7 overview document)
2.The competition seat (not available until the Fall of 2013)
3.The 4000 credit card authorization form to submit with your order. This will be added to your 1000 and will ensure that you will have one of our allocated units. This 5000 is non-refundable.


Please identify what packages/features you would like to have via email, phone call, or stop by the dealership. We are open today until 6pm and tomorrow from 8:30am – 10:30pm.
and


And the spread sheet is the excel one that is on this forum. They couldn't even make up their own. No where and I mean No where does it say we are charging another $5000 over. That was done by the call yesterday.
Nowhere in this "proof" do I see that the agreed upon pricing was MSRP. There is a reference to the MSRP of options, but that is it.

If there is other proof, I don't see it in that thread. Just calling it like I see it.

I don't believe the email from them wanting an additional $4,000 deposit that he received has any connection to his discussions with them when he originally placed his order and gave them a $1,000 deposit.

If I missed the "proof" from the other thread, what was it? I read the entire thread and that was all that I saw offered as proof. If there is nothing in writing then all we have is the word of one person against the word of another.

My reservation form that I signed (and have a copy of) clearly states the price as MSRP - $1000 and I have it in writing.

The problem here is that regardless of whether the price was agreed upon in WRITING or not, and whether they finally agreed to sell it at MSRP to this customer, the dealer should never have sprung what they KNEW deep down would be an unwelcome and completely irritating surprise to this customer IN THE FIRST PLACE.

The dealer saw the C7 MSRP when it was finally released and predicted that the market could bear $5,000 over MSRP, so instead of honoring what they KNEW this customer expected HIS price to be, they jacked it up $5000.

Probably only after the dealership realized the backlash this incident would have, and that bad news spreads real fast in the Internet, they decided to sell it at MSRP to him.

Every singe action they took was self-serving. It is a shame that there are still some dealerships that give car dealers a bad name.
