BUYER BEWARE! Hendrick Chev
MSRP is not with dealer ad-ons of $8500.(stingray)15K(Z06) but this is what you get from Hendrick Chev in Ga. Waited 11 months to learn that the fine print so states. they can keep my ordered C8 days after delivery to crummy dealer who says they sell at msrp! Liars Liars Liars, just money grubbers. Dealer ad-ons like lojack 1495, nitrogen 199. deg/dcups/hood/bumper 2795, ceramic coating 2495, tinted glass 499 (2 windows), wheel locks 199. Thanks for looking, dejected & pissed former C8 depositor.

My take
I just took Museum delivery of a 2023 Z51 Stingray HTC, Mag Ride, and front end lift ordered through Hendrick Chevrolet Duluth. I put my order in with Ricardo in October of 2021. They were very up front about the dealer add ons and time frame. It was a long 14 months.
To be honest, I wanted the ceramic coating (very reputable car care business nearby does it), the PPF (same), and the window tinting. I could care less about the Lojack, nitrogen, and wheel locks.
To each there own, but I wouldn't shun this dealership. The finance guy gave me a hard sale on extended warranties and huffed a bit when I politely declined. They all do. Dealerships don't make $ on new cars.
Take it from Hendrick Chevrolet Duluth, GA or not. To each their own sir.

It's bad enough that this dealer would add all these fluff items onto the price of the car which, IMO, is exorbitant to start, but $199.00 for nitrogen filled tires (you're breathing 78% nitrogen right now) and little to no benefit anyway... $500.00 for window tint on 2 windows, $199.00 for wheel locks that cost about $30.00 anywhere, $2500.00 for ceramic application, all extremely high prices because you want the Corvette. Despicable gouging in my opinion...

I bought my 2023 HTC at Malcolm Cunningham in Roswell. They tried to sell me a dealer warranty for things like spills, broken glass, seat stains, etc. It was a 7 year $1500 add on that I talked them down to $750. Good insurance for the 7 years. Sold it at MSRP as well. I didn't even order it, just showed up at the dealer and I purchased it. Lucky as hell.

Agreed that the price is ridiculous but I wish people would stop repeating that nitrogen filled tires are "little to no benefit". That's absolutely not true. If you've ever driven a truck with large profile tires through vastly different temperatures or pulled a trailer through the desert and then through snow - you'd see that nitrogen filled tires maintain the same pressure regardless of temps. My standard filled Duratracs on my Jeep dropped almost 10 psi this week (normally 40psi over 32F, down to 31psi at zero degrees). My Silverado with nitrogen filled tires never changed. If consistent tire pressures are important to you, nitrogen rocks. It's not worth $200 awesome, but definitely worth a couple extra bucks.

buyer beware
got my deposit back, so they sold my build and stuck it to someone else willing to be ripped off by an extremely greedy dealer. (Rick Hendrick because they don't make enough or he doesn't have enough money to stick in his fat ***!) thanks....ordered from a reputable dealer, have taken delivery, so stick it Mr H.
