#215 of 618 Re: For $25k to $30k how best to equip 07 Silverado??? [gringo1] by geo9 Mar 31, 2007 (5:31 pm)
Replying to: gringo1 (Mar 31, 2007 6:59 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!

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!!!!!!!!!!!

Replying to: KarenS (Sep 15, 2003 10:39 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 5:31 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.
#219 of 618 FUTURE BUYERS by geo9 Apr 01, 2007 (6:57 am)
For towing you need the Z-85 pkg. It includes locking rear, a frame mounted hitch platform, upgraded suspension option, aux. trans. and engine oil cooler, a certain rear axle ratio, and a few other tow related goodies........ A 1/2 ton ex.cab. 4x4, 5.3, z-85 can tow 8500 lbs.......   GM offers the 1 pkg. on all 1/2 tons for a variety to towing needs. So if your new truck has it on the window sticker.....Your ready to go !   If you need more "haul" than that ya need a 2500. But don't forget they are gas hogs compared to a 1500 so if you can make do remember that..............
#221 of 618 looking for a little help by azmk Apr 25, 2007 (5:55 pm)
We are very serious about getting a '07 Silverado Ext. Cab 4x4 1LT with the V8 5.3 engine. I was told by a friend about the supplier pricing and the "gm in the driveway". Anyone have any information on this? I'm a desperate. I'm trying to help my sister get her dream truck. After spending a year in Iraq and craming 4 years of college into 3 at the same time going to officer training, she graduates next saturday from college and the same day becomes a 2nd Luitenant. So I'm looking for the best deal I can get for her. Any suggestions? Or help? Replies to this message: jfritsch (Apr 25, 2007 8:01 pm) azmk (Apr 25, 2007 10:50 pm)

Replying to: azmk (Apr 25, 2007 5:55 pm) Check out my messages 213 and 214 in this forum and go from there. Email 20-30 chevy dealers last week of the month with your requirements. Use dealer locator on chevy web site. Ask for their best price, fact you are getting 20 bids and include your cell #. Include you will buy before the end of the month. Color options from 1st to 3rd are helpful to as well as a msrp price range and necessary options (ie 31000-33000) Its unlikely a truck will have exactly the options you want without a little extra. About 1/2 of the dealers may respond. Work the best 2-3 down to the lowest price. You can build the truck on the chevy website and get an idea of the numbers.   If you're in a hurry thats generally against you, but do the above and check out the resources I recommend for the rest of your car buying career.   You are shooting for 7000-10000 off msrp a 32000 truck. Closer to 7000 now (for the new 07 body style not the old 07) and if your color and other prefs are picky. You really want about 9000-10000 off as this segment is a slow mover and these chevys wholesale used about 12000 off msrp after year 1. GM supplier pricing has generally been available to anybody capable of working the best deal. By all means after the deal is worked try to get 500 off for a military discount but it won't be possible if you have worked the best deal as this is generally a marketing tool.   With the prices and availability I would want the power pedals, tow hooks (cheap to add) and limited slip diff. And fog lights.   I suggest you have your credit and financing arranged thru your own sources and have an idea of your monthly payments.   Good Luck --jjf   We are very serious about getting a '07 Silverado Ext.

Replying to: jfritsch (Apr 25, 2007 8:01 pm) Thankyou for your reply. I have done a lot of the things that you suggested already. Your message gives me more of an idea of what is possible. Financing we already have, so we have a little more power in our favor. Thanks again, I'll try to post what I was able to get.
