Replying to: njv16 (Aug 31, 2007 5:20 am) 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.   --jjf   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.

Replying to: jfritsch (Aug 31, 2007 12:15 pm) 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???

Replying to: dunkbait (Sep 02, 2007 2:56 pm) 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?

Replying to: njv16 (Sep 02, 2007 4:39 pm) 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. Replies to this message: jfritsch (Sep 04, 2007 4:19 am) mizzoueng (Sep 04, 2007 5:55 am) uwmad (Sep 04, 2007 6:12 am)

Replying to: uwmad (Sep 03, 2007 6:24 pm) 6000-8000+ off msrp is what you want on a 33 k chev truck. If you try my message 309 and work almost 10k off more power to you. Rebates, military discount, draft dodger discount, college grad discount, college dropout discount,supplier discount, ex-wal mart employee discount etc. Whatever. I would want closer to 8000 to 10000+ off a $44000 model. Check out the interest saved on 0% for 60 months over a 6% loan (thats probably worth 3500 off msrp)   Check out my message 309. Do not waste much time walking into dealerships once you know what you want. Separate the jokers (85%) from those serious end of the month within a 100-300+ mile radius of your home via fax or email and work the top 3 or so against one another.   Good luck --jjf   I'm wondering the same thing.

Replying to: uwmad (Sep 03, 2007 6:24 pm) 7000 includes the 3500 GMC/Chevy rebate. I doubt you find a dealer who will give you 7000 plus the 3500 rebate. If you do, let us know as that dealer will get a lot of business.   I got a little over 7K off my 07 NBS GMC Crewcab. That included the 3500 GMC rebate. 7K is a good number to shoot for. If you can't get within $100 of $7k then you should go somewhere else.   What accessories are they offering? GMC/Chev accessories are a little overpriced and I would just take the money as rebates and not accessories. The lower you get that sale price the less you pay in sales tax. Say you take the 1K in toys, you will pay DOUBLE tax on those when you pay your sales tax, usually State tax is equal to local.   Since you want to take the 0%, it will be harder to get the additional discounts, the best bet is to start talking monthly payments with them. Calcualte what you want and try to get them there. Replies to this message: uwmad (Sep 04, 2007 6:12 am)

Replying to: mizzoueng (Sep 04, 2007 5:55 am) I think I can get any accessory I want. The SoCal area has this promo going right now for $1000 in accessories. http://www.socalchevy.com/OfferDetails.aspx?ContentID=14277 How hard will it be to get them under the "Supplier:" pricing? Are there ANY other rebates out there on Silverado's that I am forgetting? I wish I knew if the incentives were changing tomorrow. I'm not quite ready to buy, but don't want to miss out on this 0% for 60. Good point about the accessories being overpriced, but wouldn't you have to pay Sales Tax on them regardless, where ever you end up buying them? I just thought it would be nice because I don't really have the extra money laying around right now to buy all those accessories. I need some sort of bedliner and bed cover to start with. I know about what they cost else where, so if they are crazy expensive at the dealer, I'll just say no to that.

Replying to: northga (Sep 07, 2007 5:40 pm) You want 6000-8000 off msrp for a truck that wholesales 10k off msrp 1st year.   See how much interest you saved over a 6% loan (higher if you have dinged credit) and add it to the amount off msrp. Don't know what your taxes and fees are in your state so its hard to tell. On the surface it looks pretty good.   Why do folks wait until the deal is done to find out what is a good deal?   Happy driving --jjf   Anyone help me out and tell me if they think I got a good deal?    2007 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Crew Cab 2WD LT1    Added Options: LT1 Convenience Package Z71 Off Road Package 18" wheels Towing Package Power Driver Seat 5.3 Liter Engine XM Satellite All terrain tires    MSRP: $32,604 add leather: $1100 Total: $33,704 Drive Out: $31,300 0% for 60 months nothing down Replies to this message: northga (Sep 19, 2007 5:17 pm)
#321 of 675 What Happened to GM Card Allowances by bobw1 Sep 08, 2007 (10:43 am)
I just looked at the GM card allowances and they are only $1000/$1500 for the 07/08 Silverado/Sierras. Is there a chance they will go back up later in the year? Replies to this message: dukeblu (Sep 09, 2007 11:16 am) asylum575 (Oct 03, 2007 1:58 pm)
