I would never buy a car that I had to leave a deposit on. I trust a car salesman about as much as I trust a politician.

Here’s a great dealership story. My salesman, who I had bought 8-10 cars from over the years in Northern Ontario, Canada called me in ‘21. He told me they had an allocation for a ‘22 C8 and, unless I ordered something freaky, they were inviting me to spec the order, without a commitment to purchase. Zero down. When it showed up, I was hooked, of course. I said to the dealer principal:”hey, I’ve bought 8-10 cars from you guys. How about a discount”. They gave me 500 bucks off of a ‘22 2LT red tintmist stingray. My dealer principal said: “don’t tell anyone about this. You are most certainly the only person in Canada who’s gotten a penny off MSRP for a new ‘Vette”. Now, that’s customer service.

In July 2023 I had a Dealer that had a C8 listed for 89K, when I went to buy it they said they didn't sell any vette for less than 10K above MSRP. I walked. I then called Lone Star Chevrolet in Houston, and asked 2 questions of Ian Jackson the sales person. How much deposit, and how much over MSRP? I was told no deposit and nothing over MSRP. I placed my order mid Sept., and the price increase happened on Oct. 2nd, 2024. I inquired about price protection and was told I'd receive it. I paid for the car, and then picked the car up on Nov 15th at the NCM, and approx. 35 days later I received the price difference between the old pricing and the increased pricing. Ian was a pleasure to do business with, as was Lone Star Chevrolet, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend Lone Star and especially Ian if you're looking to purchase a new corvette. In just the last3 months they've had several C8s fully loaded as well as several Z06s. Do NOT be afraid to walk away from a crappy dealer!

We sat in the finance office at DeNooyer Chevrolet Holland 2 years ago, we were ready to sign the papers and then the pressure started. They were trying bend us over. I walked out the door. Two days later as I'm on my way to another dealership to pick up our new Yukon, Denooyer called and was falling all over themselves to make it happen. Sorry DeNooyer - Holland your dealership is a loser.

I ran from Dnooyer last month when I tried to buy a Z06 from them. One phone call and I could smell something rotten right away.

Thanks for pointing of this dirtbag dealership. No one should buy a car from them!

I'm in the market for a C8 and I noticed a dealer right up the street in Venice Fl had the same car I was looking for. I noticed the sticker had a market adjustment of 40%. I called and offered to purchase at MSRP to which they asked if I had any leeway to which I said no and they thanked me for my time. Today I picked up the same car at another dealership for MSRP. $40K market adjustment on a $101k vehicle!!!

I like the intro and sense of community you are creating. The greed of dealers and availability to make money via multiple avenues is crazy. Customer protection is critical and this is one way to do it.

Back in the 80`s DeNoyer was selling cars and trucks" as is "with bad camshafts. Elhard was selling a paint and undercoating for 1k. wife had a accident and the body shop said it was never protected paint or body undercoating. When I called Elhart they told me it`s invisible. I will never buy a car in Holland again.

Thanks for speaking up and advocating for another in our community. Sounds like they need to “lawyer up” if the dealership doesn’t want to issue a refund. Just the initial litigation will cost them more than $5000 to defend. Denooyer just needs to give the money back.

Just looked on that dealer's site as of 02/23/2024. They have a 2024 C8 3LT Z51 HTC Stingray sitting in the showroom at MSRP. Got to wonder who they screwed someone out of that one and are now trying to sell it. Got my Z06 anniversary edition HTC at MSRP from Les Stanford in Dearborn MI last spring. The most honest volume Corvette dealer in the area.

Great video! As a car enthusiast and as a guy that buys cars every 4-6 months in Texas, I will 100% NOT be buying a car from that dealership! No need for us to deal with this level of BS.

This is DeNooyer Chevrolet in Holland, MI which IS NOT affiliated with the DeNooyer Chevrolet in Kalamazoo, MI.

At this point, he's already lost unfortunately. Even if he gets his money back and moves on, the time, stress, just doesn't make it right.

Mike, My dealer called yesterday with a 2024 Zo6 , where the customer declined to pick up due medical issues. They are looking to sell a sticker. It is a Z1 Coupe in Gray with Red interior. The window sticker is $117,701. I viewed the car as it was unloading. This is the second one I've been offered. I am waiting on a Convertible. If anyone is interested the dealer is outside Atlanta Ga. I have pictures.

Thanks Mike. I live in Michigan and appreciate the heads up. DeNooyers in Holland will never get any off my business. Unfortunately this kind of thing gives all dealerships a bad reputation. I bought my 22 HTC with no hiccups from a local dealership at MSRP, from tips I received from you at B.O.S. Keep up the informative work. Great job. 😊

Thanks for your timely email response today. I appreciate you willingness to clarify that this was not at the DeNooyer Chevrolet Kalamazoo or DeNooyer Chevrolet Marshal dealerships in Michigan. You have a powerful voice and it must be used with proper research and information shared. It would be appropriate if you added a video to clarify which store Joe had placed the order with, Robert DeNooyer Chevrolet in Holland Mi.

This was at DeNooyer in Holland Michigan and not affiliated with the Kalamazoo store.

General rule of business I follow is, if they're not willing to let me drive off with a car without me giving them any money, they don't see any of my money till the vehicle is ready for delivery. Doesn't matter what it is. Even getting short changed. I'll stand there waiting for .10¢, cause I know if I was short that they probably wouldn't sell me what I was trying to buy.
