invoice pricing?? by bullfrog1

I am intrigued with how everybody states how far below dealer invoice they paid for their new Avalanche. With a GM Supplier discount form you are entitled to 4% above what a GM employee pays. This price amounts to 88.6% of the MSRP or 11.4% off the MSRP. A GM employee can buy the same vehicle for 15.5% off the MSRP. The dealer still makes a profit of about 3%(7% if you use GM Supplier discount form), if you take into account holdback. These prices are spelled out on the invoice form that the dealer uses. Until July, the rebate on an Avalanche is $2500. So on a 40,000 Avalanche, and a GM Supplier form plus the rebate you pay $32940 for a savings of $7060. Add to it GM card savinges etc, you get your best price. Not sure where some of you get these strange prices. I also have never purchased a new vehicle with over 8 miles on the speedometer.

Used to be gauged by how much you got off MSRP. Now with more information available and buyers being better informed it's "how much below invoice". Not everyone knows about or is qualified for a GM Suppliers discount. And if you have a trade-in it's all moot anyway. Then it all comes down to difference. I paid invoice for a Demo with 3200 miles on it. But I got a good price for my trade. All that really matters is that the buyer is happy with the vehicle and the deal they made.

In Western PA most trade in vehicles are judged by the local auction numbers. You can still get a good trade in using the GM Supplier program because although they say they use Actual Cash Value they will do most anyting to make a profit. I bought an Avalanche, used the GM Supplier form, and found that there was a $3500 trade in value variation for a 93 Chevy K-Blazer among dealers. Dealers have 18% to play with and they need to sell cars. You can still get 11-13% off the MSRP without any supplier forms.
   In our area some dealers send cars to the auction if they do not create consumer interest over 60 days. Recently a new Avalanche went for 28,000 on the auction block because of the color (burnt orange).

I am trying to buy a 2002 Avalanche. Can someone explain how you get the GM supplier discount? Has anyone purchased their Avalanche using the internet. If yes what was your experience? Without any negotiating I have been able to get quotes for $300 over invoice and there is also a $2500 rebate from GM.

bobropa - to get the GM supplier discount you just go to the human resources office of your employer and ask for the form. Your company must be a supplier of pieces or processes to GM. Can be applied to factory ordered or out of stock units. You can not sell for one year and you can not contest the arbitrator in a Lemon Law dispute down the road. All regular retail incentives apply and the dealer gets the holdback as the handling fee. Win - Win if you work for a supplier.

I got a brand new 2003 Black Z66 avalanche msrp around 31,000 for 24,446 out the door. What a steal! I had a GM credit card with a 1,000 bonus with the 2,500 rebate. My total rebate was around 8,400!

Rebate is at $4500 right now, depending on state by joelis

If there is an auto show in your state, then you are probably looking at a $4500 rebate (500 extra for the show). Add that to the $5000 reduction from MSRP to Invoice on a loaded model, and its a damn sweet deal.
 
I forgot to mention the 3.9% financing on top of all that too.
 
(I think I better buy this week).

0% Financing and SmartBuy by gregdempsey

Looking to purchase a new Avalanche before the end
of April, 2003 when 0% financing for 60/mos is set to expire.
Does anyone have any credible info on whether 0%
financing can be used with a Smart Buy contract?
Dealers say no, GMAC says they have heard of it.
  Also, how does a GM credit card aid in discounted GM vehicle prices.
                    Thanks People
