If this is a new body style 32000 or so MSRP truck it is about an average deal. If the old body style too high.
 
good luck

yes, it's the new body style.. final price would be 24,9xx + TT&L after rebates & Supplier discount.
 
what's the invoice on one of these? is Edmunds dead-on on invoice pricing?
 
it really hinges on my trade in.. we'll see how it goes.

Hi. I'm looking at an new body style 2007 Silverado Crew Cab LT1 4WD truck. With it optioned out how I want it, the MSRP is $34,300. I have been trying to deal on a truck like this for the past month but dealers don't seem to be dealing. What would be a good, but realistic price, to get this truck at after rebates and negotiating but before taxes?

Depending on what you mean by dealing, 7000-8000+ off msrp is a good deal.
 
Put out requests for bids via email to 20-30 dealers last week of the month (chevy website) with your requirements ,top 3-4 color choices and approximate msrp. Tell them you are buying before end of month and have emailed 30 dealers. Work the top 3-5 out of the 10 or so who respond against one another (2nd round 10 get your cell #). You want price with all doc fees and title included. Do 98% of your work from your air conditioned home and expend your energy on those who make the cut. Its useless walking in to 1 or 2 dealerships trying to "haggle" as only about 10% of dealerships toward the end of a given month really need to make a sale.
 
Good luck

I live in Wichita, Kansas and have submitted bids for dealers in Wichita, Kansas City, Hutchinson, and Tulsa, OK. The most dealers seem to be coming off is $6,500. I have been offering dealers $27,000 for a truck with an MSRP of $34,300. I believe that is a fair price considering what all of the other truck manufactures are offering which is $2,000 to $4,000 more off than the Silverado. I can't seem to understand why they aren't coming off more. All of the lots around me are still flooded with new Silverado's and the '08s are already starting to hit the lots. I tell them I am ready to buy within the month but they still can't seem to get close to my price point. I guess I will have to wait a little longer until they get desperate.

It depends on how many trucks the dealership has to move. the best way to get the best deal is to use the GMC/Chevy website. Look for the trcuk you want and if you find say 3 of them, actually look at the dealerships website, see how many 07's they have on their lot.
 
If they have a lot, then they will probably work with you on price as they have to move those trucks.
 
Another thing to mention is that you are coming from out of town, dealers will work with you if you are willing to drive to them instead of calling your local dealership and negotiating a trade, that does nothing for the dealership where your truck other than lose a sale and pick up a truck that the other dealership couldn't sell.
 
27000 is a reasonable price for an 07, especially now. GMC and Chevy are touting the 0% financing, stating that you will save 7000 in interest payments, well you can get that as a discount if you negotiate right. Just keep asking for bids and if the dealer doesn't want to work with you just walk away.

How many dealerships did you email for their best price? Its really irrelevant how many cars of a particular model is on the lot. A dealer with 30 could be concluding a great or acceptable month and one 40 miles away with 8 on the lot could really need to make a few more sales.

I need a little clarification. When you say $6,000 off MSRP is that before any Chevy Rebates???. I assume it is.
For example if a truck is listed at $41,000 a "good" price would be $35,000 then on top of that a person would have either 0% for 60 months or an additional $3,000-$3,500 in factory rebates to get the price down to around $32,000.
 
Am I correct with my math???

The best anyone around here can do is $6,500 off, and that includes the $3,500 rebate from Chevy at the moment. I find it a little ridiculous myself that they can't come off more. I really do feel that $7,300 off, and that includes the Chevy rebate, is a good deal but dealers around here seem to scoff at that. A lot of the lots around in this region have around 30-50 2007 Silverados on the lot right now, the 2008's are starting to show up, and sales for trucks have been declining every month. Like I said, the truck I want to purchase is $34,300 MSRP and I offered $27,000. Am I doing something wrong?

I'm wondering the same thing. Are you guys including the rebates in your $7000+ off MSRP? I'm about to purchase an 07' tomorrow before the incentives change. MSRP is $36,500 and they are at $33,600 and $1000 in accessories. I plan on doing the 0%. I showed them that SoCal was offering the $1000 in accessories and they agreed to give that to me. So, is $3000 off MSRP a good deal? I'm probably going to offer $33,000 in the end. They are saying that $33,600 is supplier price? Any thoughts on if I should go lower? By the way...this is a NBS crewcab LT1.
