Replying to: patm (Jul 17, 2005 11:08 am) Here is the problem wih the GM employee pricing:   Yes, GM bottom line price includes all the incentives, including rebates. This final price is somewhat misleading, because most states tax rebates, so you are paying taxes on higher amount than advertised.   GM employee price coupled with hefty rebate is a great deal. That is why actual GM employees wait until the rebates are at the highest level, then they get the best deal. When GM gave the public the employee price, the rebates were not as good, which makes the bottom line price unexceptional. Just befor this GM employee price program came out, I saw GM trucks advertised at actually lower price due to higher rebates.   One thing that really irritates me is that GM claimed that - "You pay what we pay, not a penny more". Really? What about the delaer fees ranging anywhere from $ 100 to almost $ 700? What about those? And did you know that if you are an actual GM employee, those fees must be waved by dealers (GM company policy)? Wway isn't this policy extended to everybody else? False advertising, plain and simple.   The present red tag sale is actually better deal on some vehicles, such as truck, due to higher rebates. I priced an identical truck during the GM employee part sale program and it was actually almost $1.5k cheaper during the red tag sale, because rebates are much higher. Remember, it is the bottom line that matters, not what gimmicks are being offered. Replies to this message: bigfur (Dec 07, 2005 6:46 pm) p100 (Dec 11, 2005 12:12 pm)

Replying to: p100 (Dec 05, 2005 7:36 pm) P100...do you just go around to every GM board and randomly spit out this information? Seen it in every board ive looked at today. Give it a rest man. Replies to this message: p100 (Dec 11, 2005 12:12 pm)

Replying to: bigfur (Dec 07, 2005 6:46 pm) What are you, a GM public relations type? No I do not post this information on every GM board. In fact, I do not regularly post on any GM board. And whatever I said is true. The GM employee pricing was a good deal on some vehicles, not so great on others, such as trucks. And many dealers used this sale as a golden opportunity to charge people all kinds of additional fees, which they cannot charge GM employees.
#164 of 675 recent red tag and gmac credit purchase by michevy Dec 25, 2005 (7:34 pm)
after going round and round with both the max gmac card credits (3000) and employee discount, I walked out the door at $24,900 on an '06 ext cab, 4x4, LT1, light duty package, off road package, over the rail spray in liner. It turned out the red tag plus the gmac credits outdid the employee/red tag deal. Had the dealer knock another $1k off, and they worked 5.25% out 72 months. I believe this worked out to be a bit over $10k off MSRP.   Pretty happy with this deal...and a beautiful truck.
#165 of 675 $14,100 after tax for 5.3 long bed by dukeblu Feb 13, 2006 (9:11 pm)
Just got a 2006 Long Bed 5.3 flexible fuel for $14,100 Out the Door, including tax, title, tag, everything. The original sticker was $22,105. Then GM revised their pricing and it listed for $19,830. Used the GM Card to get a $3K additional rebate. Could have bought a short bed 5.3 the dealer had in stock for under $14K. 295HP out the door for around $14K is the best truck deal I've found.   Bought it at Terry Cullen in Atlanta. Great dealer.

Hello... I'm new here. I live in Greece and have bought a Silverado SS year model 2006. It's brand new and I need to fix some papers for the car but I need the Serial Number of the car and I can't find it anywhere. Can you help me?! Can you please tell me where can I find it? Please help me, I'm desperate. I can lose the car!    Thank you very much...    P.S.:Someone told me that American cars don't have a serial number. Is it true?

Replying to: manson15 (Mar 20, 2006 6:15 am) manson15, every car has a VIN (vehicle identification number). If you look through the driver's side front windshield at the dashboard, you should see it on a little metal strip. I believe you can often find it on the inside of the driver's side door as well.   Maybe someone else can be more specific, but your car DOES have a VIN.   kirstie_h Roving Host Host, Future Vehicles & Smart Shopper discussions
