#287 of 675 rebates by txchevytruck Aug 04, 2007 (12:36 pm)
Hi everyone,   I have a question. Has anyone here ever bought a new car and had the rebates go up in the next couple days? A friend of mine just had this happen. I was wondering if anyone else has had this happen and what you did about it- if anything. Maybe the dealership would want to step up and offer something to make him happy, but I really don't know. It's something I had not thought about before. Replies to this message: jfritsch (Aug 04, 2007 9:21 pm) txchevytruck (Aug 05, 2007 7:24 pm)

Replying to: txchevytruck (Aug 04, 2007 12:36 pm) Your best defense against this is to buy at the beginning of the model year and pay lots more. Then at least you will not have the rebates go up within a short time like they do at the end of july or august when they are clearing out inventory for the new models. (when you should be buying)   Do check on the terms of the rebate on edmunds or gm's site and see if it applies to his purchase date. He can send in the form with his invoice and such.   If your friend paid 27000 or so and will have 37000 in it with finance charges over 5 years and missed out on 500 or so on rebates tell him to enjoy his car.   --jjf   I have a question.

#289 of 675 2500HD Gas Mileage by carboy3 Aug 05, 2007 (6:12 pm)
I'm about to purchase a new 2500HD with 6.0 engine, 4x4, automatic. I have a choice of a 2007 "Classic" or a late 2007 all new style. Has the gas mileage of the new style improved very much? It has a six speed auto vs. the Classic's 4 speed. It also has "taller" rear end gears. I'm told Classic gas mileage is 10 - 12 mpg ! Is new style much better? What do you know? What have you experienced? Replies to this message: tacomadude (Aug 05, 2007 8:10 pm)

Replying to: carboy3 (Aug 05, 2007 6:12 pm) Go with the new style, the gas mileage is much better due to the 6-speed auto. In light-footed to average driving, expect 13-15 city and 17-18 highway. If you're a lead foot or tow, expect less obviously... So as you see here this heavy duty gets about the same mileage as most light duty trucks.
#292 of 675 Re: So much for me gettin the 07 2500HD I ordered [tacomadude] by tacomadude Aug 13, 2007 (9:28 pm)
Replying to: tacomadude (Jun 02, 2007 7:10 am) Well my *08* 2500HD EC 6.0 SLE1 finally arrived at the dealer tonight. I'll be pickin' it up Wed night. She's a looker that's for sure. Definitely the best black paint job I've ever seen. Hopefully it'll be worth the two month wait. I ended up at $500 below invoice plus a $500 rebate (on the '08s) out the door. Too bad that 0% financing isn't available on the '08s, but I got a great deal at my credit union. Overall the dealership has been amazing throughout the ordering process, especially their fleet manager who answered my many many questions... Now I just need to do a lil more research on break-in procedure, since this is my first GM vehicle...

Replying to: dwyerchevy07 (Aug 04, 2007 8:16 am) where do you watch for the incentives at on the credit card web site or the chevy web site?
#294 of 675 Re: In the Market for a New Silverado Crew Cab by dwyerchevy07 Aug 14, 2007 (10:25 am)
You would watch on both. The chevy.com site has a selection on bonus and would be the main, then watch your card site to verify how much you have earned so far. Be care dealerships don't like it when you use your GM card money if real high. And verify directly with GM card first so the dealership doesn't say no! They are sneaky. My dealership lost money on my deal as I got a good trade, incentive for the trade, GM card money and incentives on the card money. I was just required to go tell friends how good it was at my dealership! Replies to this message: bottomdump (Aug 16, 2007 1:32 am)

Replying to: dwyerchevy07 (Aug 14, 2007 10:25 am) how did u get or find out about the incentives on your card money

The GM card money incentives would still be posted on chevy.com , click on Shop Current Offers, click on the Feature Offers tab....Right now it is year end clearance and will get hotter in the months to come...This is what is is so far... This was a cut and paste from their site!   Chevy Model Year End Event   It's easy to pick out your new 2007 Chevy car, truck, SUV, crossover vehicle or van, and take advantage of a great selection, thanks to the Chevy Model Year End Event. Pick your model, select your color, and choose from the wide range of dealer-installed Chevy accessories. But hurry, because the '07s are going fast.   0% APR for 60 Months1   It's the Chevy Model Year End Event! The best offer ever is now available on the all-new Silverado. 0% APR for 60 months1 on all half-ton extended and crew cabs for well qualified buyers. Silverado has the best available highway fuel economy2 and a warranty better than Ford. Better than Toyota. That's 0% APR for 60 months1 on our most popular Silverado models Replies to this message: dumbblonde1 (Aug 28, 2007 10:48 am)
