#195 of 675 07' PRICES ARE OUT by jerrymcshane1 Oct 16, 2006 (7:52 am)
The new 900 line Silverado prices are out on Edmunds. Yet, GM does NOT have them for the extended cab versions. Good going Edmunds. As for GM? When are they going to get their heads out of their ass?
#196 of 675 price on 2007 by 1offroader Dec 31, 2006 (6:37 pm)
I have an offer on the new model 2007 Silverado Crew Cab, 4WD, 2LT cloth int., 6.0L eng., Z71 Off Road Pkg., Safety Pkg. (incl. head curtain air bags), pwr. sliding rear window, 18" alloy wheels, EZLift tailgate pkg. Invoice price is $35,389 which incl. $900 destination chg. The MSRP is $38,875. A dealer here in So. Cal. gave me a price of $35,642 + tx. & lic., which is $253 above invoice. The vehicle had to be ordered, 8-10 weeks delivery time. No factory rebates avail. at this time but if there are any in effect at time of delivery I will get it. GM often has a "March Madness", I am hoping they will do it again for 2007.

Replying to: 1offroader (Dec 31, 2006 6:37 pm) That sounds like a decent price. Back in late 2004 when I bought my 04 off the lot, I managed around $31k for a 5.3L Z-71 extended cab, standard box (didn't have the extra-short "short box" from the crew cabs available yet), 4x4, cloth power captain's seats, OnStar, XM, CD, dual auto climate control, pw, pl, 17" wheels (16's were standard on 04 Z-71's). Some people did better than that, but the truck's sticker was almost $36k at the time.   I checked out several of the new Silverados and Sierras at my dealership while my wife's van was having it's oil changed yesterday. The one in the showroom was a 2LT, and was a LOT like my 07 Avalanche LTZ inside. It appeared to have all the goodies but the sunroof and rear DVD system, including the navigation unit. That was a very nice truck.   Versus my 2004 it sounds like you can get a bigger engine, more airbags, power rear slider (none on the 04 I had, not even a manual slider), and probably have the auto climate and XM too (?) in an all-around much better truck for just a bit a couple thousand more.   Not too shabby. Even without a March Madness kind of thing that seems like it would be a good deal. Good luck! Replies to this message: 1offroader (Jan 03, 2007 7:22 pm)

Replying to: jerrywimer (Jan 03, 2007 3:57 am) jerrywimer - the 2LT pkg. includes dual zone auto climate. XM radio is avail. as another option.
#199 of 675 Auto show test drive - belated by speedypt Jan 05, 2007 (9:22 pm)
I have to say...I did the test drive of the new 1LT Silverado Crew Cab at the Phoenix Auto show just over a month ago. Not only did they let us take them out on "real" streets, but the salespeople that staffed the test drive event really seemed to have studied up on the particulars of the truck.   I asked several towing and mileage questions, and my salesperson had all the answers memorized. It really cast a positive light on the truck, that is, in addition to the high quality ride, control feel and quiet ride of the truck.   I "was" convinced that I would get an F150 or Titan, but Chevy's good mileage and recent improvements have me looking at them again.   Best price I've found so far for a Silv Crew Cab 2LT with tow package, Onstar and upgraded wheels is $33k. I'm pretty sure I can do better when I start seriously shopping in 2 - 3 months.   Regards,   Pete

Replying to: KarenS (Sep 15, 2003 9:39 am) In Oct 2006, I bought my first Chevy truck and still wonder if I got a good deal.   I bought a 2007 Silverado Classic 1500HD LT1 crew cab w/the following:   On Star XM (free for 3 mos) AM/FM/6 disc CD changer Locking rear differential Trailering equipment Cloth seat w/6 way power Power folding mirrors Dual zone auto A/C fog lamps Steering wheel audio controls 3.73 rear axle Off road tires   The sticker was just under $34K and I got it w/a rebate for $28K out the door.   I had a 2004 Ford F150 extended cab Lariat that I traded in (I hated that truck!) and still owed $16K on it at the time. They paid it off and didn't roll it back into the new loan.   So, can anyone tell me if I truly got a good deal?

Replying to: brix92 (Feb 03, 2007 12:18 pm) sure, I think I can field that one. You bought a leftover truck made with spare parts, the "classic", I am assuming. You traded in a truck that is superior in every way to it, and now you have a fresh loan for about 30000 (plus tax) if my math is correct, for a truck worth about 20k wholesale.

Replying to: advequityguy (Feb 03, 2007 1:40 pm) hahahaha...ok then. Well, I did learn one thing from when I bought my F150 in 2004. That was the first year of the new style and what I learned was never to buy anything in its new style as the bugs haven't been worked out yet. I like the inside of the new '07 Silverados, but hate the outside and the bed is smaller too.   Personally, I don't understand how you can say the F150 is superior in every way to the Silverado or any other vehicle for that matter. It was my 2nd one and I only traded the older one in for the newer one thinking that w/the new style, the problems would have been fixed. But noooo....   That F150 had leather seats that were rock hard, and never softened up in the 2 yrs of owning the truck. It had the tow package and towing anything meant that it was a very sluggish ride, and I only towed 5000 pounds, IF THAT! I think the book showed that towing capacity was around 85-8600 w/the tow package?   In the 2 yrs, I had things come apart on it and I take care of my vehicles. A piece of the inside of the passenger door kept coming off and one day, I came out and found the back of the drivers side mirror had fallen off and couldn't be put back on at all. Of course I had to get an entire mirror as Ford doesn't just sell a part for the back of the mirror...which cost me $300! I had 48,000 miles on it so I had no warranty. (I drive about 80 miles RT every day to/from work, but again, I take care of my vehicle).   Their slogan, "quality is job one" is crap. With the other F150 I had and with the 2004 one there was a similiar problem which was that there was a vibration problem and there was a TSA on this as it was a problem in pretty much all of the F150s. After several alignments and even a tire change, it still was very, very prevelant.   So, please, don't tell me that the F150 is superior to anything!   I have cloth seats in the Chevy that are superior to Ford's leather. They are so comfortable. Plus, when I tow with my horse trailer...I hardly fell it and there is no sluggishness at all.   My loan is for what my purchase was, which was $28k. I went online to Edmunds and found that that is what the vehicle is going for.   Truthfully, I think all of these trucks, regardless of the manufacturer, are ridiculously high priced. And unless you are driving a Honda car, you lose out at trade in time.
#204 of 675 Help by moman11 Feb 18, 2007 (9:53 am)
I'm considering buying the last 2007 Silverado Classic Z71 at my local dealer.   Here's how it's shaping up: Price: $31300 Rebate: $3000 GM Card credits: $3000 Trade-in value : $16000   I can smart buy for 36 months $2.10 /mo, with a balloon of $15k. Or I can traditional purchase for $165 a month.   I like the idea of the SmartLease so I can pay all monthly payments on day 1 and save money to buy the truck out at the end, or turn it in for a Camaro at that time.   Do I risk losing the $16000 in equity I have saved up now?
