Default From Rick Hendrick

“I recently became aware that a customer of ours was quoted a price above MSRP on a new Chevrolet Corvette. I regret that this happened as this is not common practice in any of our stores. Hendrick Automotive Group has a policy that no one will quote a price above MSRP on any new Corvettes. We have a tremendous relationship with the National Corvette Restorers Society, the Corvette museum and Corvette clubs across the country and the world. Hendrick Automotive Group has supported Corvette fundraisers and charities at the museum and private clubs in the past and this will continue in the future. As an avid collector and preserver of Corvettes, I have a lot of personal pride in our relationship with the Corvette community. Again, I regret this happened and can assure all Corvette customers that it will not happen again.” -Rick Hendrick, Chairman of Hendrick Automotive Group

I can respect someone who admits a mistake and stands up to correct it.

I hope you practice what you preach and keep these rogue Hendrick dealers inline. No more 5k over invoice after the deal is signed.

As a Hendricks NASCAR fan, I'm totally happy he put that out there.

Pretty impressive response by Mr. Hendrick.


On a lighter note, kind of comical seeing Rick listed as a junior member with his racing experience and collection of Vettes.

That is exactly why I asked who it really was. Its a very safe bet that it isn't Rick Hendrick who is posting this stuff.

I sent him two certified letters never responded to me but now some jr member comes on here stating rick hendrick. Moderators can you get involved and make confirmation on these statements. I will be the first to stand up and say thank you but need confirmation

I guess this is a new policy. I still have my $ 1995 " market value " sticker when I bought my left over 2012 at the Norfolk store last November.

I didn't pay it in fact got a good deal but at the time every car on the lot had a dealer mark up.

I will confirm that this is Rick. We have seen some communication as to the post in question with Mr. H and Jim Perkins. He was made aware of this and has taken appropriate action.

To verify the identity, we will need a picture of Rick holding a current newspaper and a print out of this statement while wearing a Donald Duck hat with three pennies on the bill.



Only then can we say for certain that this statement was not crafted by the sneaky store and are just trying to win back our favor.

Best I can tell is this thread was created by someone from Hendricks trying to get the word out about the above statement released on this matter. The same thing was added to the dispute thread in the Transaction/feedback section by one of the moderating staff yesterday.

Robert and all, I can personally vouch for the authenticity of this statement. I was copied on the initial response to the dispute section thread and saw all the email addresses.
