Replying to: ktpkloss (May 12, 2007 12:01 pm) Email 20 chevy dealers around you with your specs last week of the month thru the chevy website with a request for bids. Top 3 color choices etc and your desire to buy before EOM. I wouldn't be surprised if you can approach or exceed 7k now even though the LTZ is a lower supply vehicle. (and you want every bit of it because it probably barely wholesales for 25000 in a year) If you can't get it you're probably better off waiting a month or two for prices to drop, or getting a similar higher volume truck equipped like the LTZ. Its really rather silly to walk into one dealership at the beginning of the month no less and expect them to drop their pants immediately. Even though you saw nobody around, the sales manager has a better feel for the trend over the last 40 days (he's there you know). If he's got a bunch of folks moving these things off his lot nicely he's likely to give you (and the folks) a mediocre deal. There may be another chevy dealer 20-70 miles away who has these things gathering dust like boat anchors, or needs to meet a sales target end of month. Don't you think you should find him? You'll like him. He'll be the one (or two) pestering you on your cell out of the 20 solicitations you mailed last week of the month. And yes, letting your cell phone and email do 90% or the narrowing down work, letting the minorithy of eager beavers come to you, one breaks very little sweat. Good Luck --jjf You made a better deal than i'd get today , when i tried a different approach (as i want this track really bad) --> GM Supplier cert, to get supplier pricing...well...i'm still drivng my old car. they honored the GMS pricing, which comes to just a bit over "regular" invoice pricing (in my case LTZ, excab, 4x4 with few options MSRP 36600, GMS 34000, invoice 33500), but that was it, they also apply curent incentive (only $1500 , as compared to $1000 cash + $1000 back for a trade-in of a car 1999+)...which made the car around 32500, not a PENNY less ("only" $4k off MSP, total), the salesman did the "let me ask my sales manager" routine...but came back with NOTHING not even a $500 off.... wow....i mean ... i had my checkbook and all ready to pay for the car, so it's not like i wasn't trying to get the car for real... and also, it's not like the dealer was soo busy selling these trucks either --> believe me, saturday early afternoon, i spent about an hour and a half there...and i was the ONLY guy there besides the sales staff for the whole time. I honestly don't get it... hey "10000 off msrp dude" how about i pay you a $1000, and you find me my car for $7k off MSRP?, shouldn't be any problem, since you can get $10k off w/o breaking a sweat. |

Replying to: ktpkloss (May 13, 2007 7:27 am) If you find a 1yr old ram 1500 wholesales for 17k you know the 21k isn't that amazing of a deal. Turn your euphoria on in August for the Chev. Things will probably be back to normal by then for it in your area too. You want about 10k off a 36000 truck. Rotsa Ruck --jjf i'll wait couple more months... i have pretty much contacted all dealers within 1hr drive from me... the response was for lack of a better word lethargic... meanwhile i'm browsing today's paper... and you know what... i see tundras advertised $6k off, ram 1500 quad 4x4 for an amazing $10.5k off (31.5 msrp , priced at $21k!!!), Titan for $7.5k off (32k msrp - on sale for $25.5)...and ZERO deals on silverados... my euphoria for GM is starting to wear off, hehe... |

| I hear that GM is coming out with sweet discounts this Thursday on the Silverado. The sales person actually told me that I would be better off to wait and buy on Thursday. Has anyone else heard anything? I get GMS pricing, but I'm looking for a bigger savings than the $1500 rebate. I have an alpaca farm and need the 2500 for trailering animals. | |
