#362 of 618 Re: Discount on a 07 Sierra? [jfritsch] by skipnsb Dec 30, 2007 (1:00 am)
Replying to: jfritsch (Dec 27, 2007 2:46 am) I haven't gotten far in central florida on getting much lower than the edmunds invoice and some rebate..About 5k off a 32k unit. They all want me to come in to finalize the deal, saying they won't be undersold.   So do I just make an appointment and go in and after telling some jokes make an offer of 10k off msrp?   Thanks, Skip
#363 of 618 GMS price vs negotiation by rachelsoles Jan 01, 2008 (2:11 pm)
A previous poster asked this question and I don't think it has been answered, so I wanted to ask again, is GMS pricing (employee) the best possible price? I ask because my dad (the GM employee) has always been under the impression that it was, but in the past when I have car-shopped, the price hasn't seemed very impressive, but I've never seen evidence that you could get a car for cheaper. What do you think? I bargained pretty effectively (I think) for my Honda Accord so I am willing to bargain if it will get me a better price, but if I'm wasting my time, I'd like to know that and save the hassle. Thanks in advance! Replies to this message: halofan (Jan 01, 2008 4:14 pm)

Replying to: rachelsoles (Jan 01, 2008 2:11 pm) Well I just picked up my 08 Silverado 4x4 crew LTZ this weekend. It was stickered at $39445. I got it for $35429 + fees and the 1.9 financing. This price was $300 over GMS according to the invoice. I found most dealers I shopped were reluctant to show me the GMS price, but I felt that $300 over it was a good deal as this still put it about $1000 (give or take) below dealer invoice. I've read in here where people get 6-7 thousand off sticker, that wasn't going to happen here in So. Cal. In essence, I saved about $7500 with the finance savings. I'm happy, and I got the truck I wanted. My price was much better than what Edmunds said the truck would cost TMV. So to answer your question, if you can get the GMS price, take it, then get the 1.9 and your in good shape.
#365 of 618 Silverado 1500 2WD vs. 4WD by ljl64 Jan 01, 2008 (8:37 pm)
I'm looking for a used ('01-'05) Silverado 1500, extended cab, under 70K miles, hopefully for around $15K. I rarely will load the truck to capacity, and tow a small trailer ocassionally. I drive mostly flat terrain in NJ, no off road. Is the 2WD and or V6 under powered for this full size truck? Is the 4WD recommended? LT vs LS?   Thanks, Jack   Replies to this message: jfritsch (Jan 02, 2008 12:50 am) jfritsch (Jan 02, 2008 1:00 am)
#366 of 618 Navigation Option Experience by trumanm Jan 01, 2008 (10:46 pm)
I am in the market for a 2008 Chevy LTZ Crew Cab. I really want the navigation option but the 2000 extra is hard to swallow. If anyone has any experience with the navigation and would like to advise me, I would appreciate it. I have a nice windshield unit but think the built in would be nice and wonder if the XM features on the screen is that much of a plus.

Replying to: ljl64 (Jan 01, 2008 8:37 pm) The 07 extended chevy or dodge ram 1500 crew cab MSRP around 27-$30000 sold for most of the year around 19000 -$20000. With the 100000 mile chev and lifetime dodge powertrain warranties, you may want to look into a new 08. I'm not sure either of these are even offered with a V6. Doesn't seem like a good idea with a 4500 lb vehicle, especially hauling anything. 12000 or so off MSRP or so is an average deal on a RAM a few months into the year.   Good luck --jjf   I'm looking for a used ('01-'05) Silverado 1500, extended cab, under 70K miles, hopefully for around $15K.

#370 of 618 no deal could be made on 2007 silverado crew 4x4 by nebraskabuyer Jan 05, 2008 (5:46 am)
I narrowed down to one dealer who would deal. to one truck that I'd be happy with. A white 2007 silverado crew cab 4x4 work truck With LS package up grades like carpet. Down side - it has crank windows and has no trany cooler for towing MSRP: $31,300 Edmunds invoice: $28,614 I offered $20,000...& was turned down flat...   Dealers price $28,889 Less the rebates (late November) ($2000) $26,889   Same truck a little later Less the rebates ( in early December) ($3000) $25,889   Same truck even later Less the rebates (Last week in December)($4000) $24,889   So my repeated efforts to purchase $20,000 have been refused.   Think the January GM rebate on a 2007 silverado will go up to $5,000 ????   The dealerships answer to selling this truck??? Raise the msrp $1,195 by Tinting the back windows with limo dark tint (+299) and up grading to 5 spoke factory style aluminum wheels (+895) We all know raising the price makes it more affordable right????   And this is the most reasonable dealship in the area. The others are even worse. All this bull about non negotiable documentation fees... Who are they trying to kid... This is just another way to say I want $249 more of your money...   Is it any wonder why Chevrolet still has 2007 models sitting on their lots after new years day????   I would still buy this truck today for $20,000 Do you think they would change their minds now that it is January 2008??? I doubt it. Replies to this message: jfritsch (Jan 05, 2008 6:57 am) nebraskabuyer (Jan 05, 2008 5:02 pm)

Replying to: nebraskabuyer (Jan 05, 2008 5:46 am) It is rather silly to get upset if a dealer won't take your offer. You've kind of cornered yourself into one dealer (out of 30 chevy within 100mi?) with the scattered 07 remnants. Dealers can be good at working the last few 07 leftovers, specifically to those looking for a leftover (thinking they can get a better price). especially with tax time coming. They know their area much better than you do. I would give him 17000 for it right now. That doesn't mean anything.   A very good deal on that would be around 22000-23000 or so. (with the extra stuff) See if you can get it into that range. If he's betting he can sell it to some leftover dope in the next 50 days for 26000 or so just get 20 or 30 bids end of month on the 08's spec'ed closer to what you want and see how the prices fall. Tax time can be difficult because every moron in the world has cash and the salmon are running for a few months.   Good luck --jjf   narrowed down to one dealer who would deal. to one truck that I'd be happy with.
