Replying to: xbbuster (Mar 19, 2007 5:25 am) What is indiana sales tax and what was the msrp?   thanx --jjf   I bought an '07 classic W/T with the ext. cab. The factory options were upgrade seats, cruise, CD player, tinted windows, and locking differential. The price was $18,100 plus Ind. sales tax. I think I could have got it cheaper. I offered the 18,100 and they took it, no haggling. Replies to this message: xbbuster (Mar 20, 2007 3:40 am) jerrymcshane1 (Mar 29, 2007 12:46 pm)

Replying to: xbbuster (Mar 20, 2007 3:40 am) Looks like the invoices have been "high balled." In other words, the disparity between invoice and sticker has been lessened. Then GM can use the excuse that the markups have been reduced. OK. 10-4 I believe em'.
#212 of 675 For $25k to $30k how best to equip 07 Silverado??? by gringo1 Mar 31, 2007 (4:40 am)
I know this is a related question to prices paid, but I'm bewildered by Chevy's confusing list of options and wonder if someone could help me put the best truck together for the money.   I need to tow, I need a 4x4, and I prefer bench front seat if they even come that way anymore. I can do my own music system.   If this is the wrong forum, perhaps the monitor can re-route this message.   Thx, El Gringo Replies to this message: jfritsch (Mar 31, 2007 5:24 am) gringo1 (Mar 31, 2007 5:59 am) geo9 (Mar 31, 2007 4:31 pm) and 1 more...

Replying to: gringo1 (Mar 31, 2007 4:40 am) Check out my message 14394 in the Accord prices paid section for useful references to learn how to buy a new car.   Its probably easier to go to the chevy website and search the inventory of your local dealers in the price range you stated. Look for the ones with the options you want. (and probably a little extra) Last year Silverados in dealer stock in the 25-32 k range went for 7-10000 off MSRP (like most other large vehicles). A look at the NADA or kelly blue book of used values will tell why.   Happy Huntin --jjf   I know this is a related question to prices paid, but I'm bewildered by Chevy's confusing list of options and wonder if someone could help me put the best truck together for the money.    I need to tow, I need a 4x4, and I prefer bench front seat if they even come that way anymore.

Replying to: jfritsch (Mar 31, 2007 5:24 am) Thx jjf, I have appreciated the formula using last yr. wholesale + 15%, and then working down from MSRP, which makes establishing true cost not the objective, rather to buy in keeping with what the vehicle's value will be after that 1st year deprec. hit.   In keeping with that, and having just done exactly what you suggested, going to the local Chevy dealer's lot b4 they opened, it seems the XTD Cab 1500 LT1 comes in around $32955 and with your 7k-10k off that figure, I might hope to pay around $25,000 for it.   The LT1 Conv Grp for $895 seems unnecessary to me, tho I would like the fog lamps. The HD Trailering $350, and Off-Rd suspension $600, and 5.3L $600, and Seat 6way $350, and locking tailgate $95 seem all worth it.   So, I guess, I answered my own question in part, though I welcome ideas of other posters about what options they think are worth the money.   And I would like to see more posts of what people are paying for this Silverado Extd Cab 1500 equipped LT1 plus the above options.   Is $25,000 or $8,000 off reasonable or do I wait for summer season?   El Gringo Replies to this message: geo9 (Mar 31, 2007 4:31 pm) gringo1 (Apr 01, 2007 5:15 am)

Replying to: gringo1 (Mar 31, 2007 5:59 am) EL.........Instead of chasing around to dealers checking prices go to http://www.gmbuypower.com .   You can pull up any truck in your area............ About getting $10k off sticker. You won't get that much off since the sticker prices have been reduced the last few years and the rebates reduced.   Your best bet is to look for a ex-cab, LT1 pkg, 5.3, trailer tow. You will have all the power goodies and the towing stuff too while keeping the price down.   Heres a example in my area of Syracuse NY. 07 x-cab 4x4, v-8, tow pkg., lt-1 pkg. MSRP $27,340 minus dealer discount -$1800, GM trade bonus -$1000 (if you are trading a 99 and up vehicle), -$1000 spring bonus cash, -$1000 truck trade bonus (if your trading a 99 & up GM truck), Final price $22,540   If you find one post the vin and dealer name and zip and I can tell you the GM employee price. You can't get that deal .But you can get close ! Heck the dealer might even show it to ya!   Too bad you don't know a GM employee/retiree. They could set ya up with the "GM in the driveway" deal ! You get the set supplier price and don't have to pay advertising fee and the DOC id limited to $75 bucks !   Keep searching and post here...I may be able to hook ya up with a GM employee bud from another site!

#216 of 675 ANYHOO by geo9 Mar 31, 2007 (4:46 pm)
i FINALLY FOUND a 07 Chevy 2500 GMT-900 x-cab today ! The 2500s aren't on GM buypower so its been "work the phone" hassle.....................   Found a black x-cab, with the right work goodies ie: cloth guts,LT-1 pkg, plow prep., G-80, trailer tow . Its got other stuff like Z-71, remote start, PYO wheels, skid plates, adj. pedals and back up sensor............ Sticker $35,280.   Not sure of how much it is with my employee discount deal because its not listed on buypower yet. Will have to wait till Monday to see the invoice and to "shop" my trade !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rebate is currently $2000 plus my GM card and bonus $$$$!   Dealer eyeballed my 04 Chevy 2500 x-cab 4x4 LS 20k miles and quoted $20,500 trade in...........   Didn't talk FIRM $$$ or see invoice because the dealer was swamped today ! The GM was yelling at the new car get ready guys out back to GET MOVING and quit goofing off because he had 3 units heading out the door in 20 minutes ! Salesguy was busy and I know he had a couple of "laydowns" BUYING NOW ( I listen closely and those folks went for the rust n dust and choke n croak too!!) so I told him I would talk turkey Monday!!!!!!!!!!!
#217 of 675 Re: Chevrolet Silverado: Prices Paid & Buying Experience [KarenS] by 07classic Apr 01, 2007 (2:19 am)
Replying to: KarenS (Sep 15, 2003 9:39 am) well i bought my first brand new truck in december of 06. I bought a 07 silverado classic. I dont make alot of money so I didnt get the v8 and all the power options. I did get a nice driving truck however. I have the 4.3 and have pulled a couple of cars out of town with it and am very pleased and was able to pass other cars while towing. I have already gotten a A.R.E. bed cover with the "wing" on it and have redone the stereo system and tinted the windows. the only options that were on this truck was automatic trans, dual air controls, cruise control, and cloth seats. It had 13 miles on it and i gave 15,300 for it. I have a friend who works at a gm dealership now and is going to get me a "at cost" job on the power windows and power door locks. Personally i like the "classic" better on outside looks than the 07 new style but i do like the interior of the new style very much.

Replying to: geo9 (Mar 31, 2007 4:31 pm) Thx Geo9, do appreciate the weblink to gmbuypower.   One of the confusions is how to equip the 5.3l 1/2 ton for towing.   I have heard the half ton can tow 7300 lbs, but the towing pkg has to be a certain pkg, and compensating hitch needs to be used.   I don't have a problem with rigging up a different hitch accessory, but I do need to get the original eqpt hitch correct.   Can you or others provide insight into tow pkgs?   Second, I see the 2500 or 3/4 ton-9000s are getting talked about now. I can't afford the Duramax $7,000 option, and don't want the 6 liter for mpg reasons.   Is there any reason to buy the 2500 for towing advantage over the 1500 if the 5.3l engine is the choice for both trucks?   Well, I'll stop rambling and will go check out the website.
