#369 of 618 Re: Silverado 1500 2WD vs. 4WD [ljl64] by jfritsch Jan 02, 2008 (1:00 am)
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. 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
#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.

Replying to: jfritsch (Jan 05, 2008 6:57 am) Not upset. I read some where in this post that you should be able to purchase a 2007 silverado for $10,000 off the MSRP.   I just wanted to post that this is not the case in this area. Not one dealership in our area would come close to $10,000 off the MSRP. This advice may work where you live, but not here where I live.   Chevrolet dealers here think that each vehicle is made of gold. And you should pay the market price. period. They act like they are doing you a huge favor to give you a GM rebate. What you want more???? Hit the door ya bum.   I started with 15 local area dealers.( With-in 100 miles) This was the most reasonable deal at the end of a long exhausting search.   Don't need the truck. Just wanted another toy. Only have 2 licensed drivers here. (Soon to be a third) Currently own 3 Camaros, 1 S-10 Blazer & 1 Caravan.   I can & will just wait to see what next year brings but I ain't hold'n my breath For $10,000 off MSRP
#373 of 618 Response to 10k off by ja_lopezjr Jan 05, 2008 (7:03 pm)
Just so you know nebraska, the people saving 10k off of MSRP are the ones that are buy the fully loaded LTZ or upper LT's. The more options the vehicle has, the more profit that is in the vehicle. You are buying a BASE LS with very little PROFIT, how do you expect the dealership to pull this off? How much money do you expect them to lose, to earn you business?

Replying to: ja_lopezjr (Jan 05, 2008 7:03 pm) I beg to differ. It was previously stated here that you should expect at least $10,000 off any 2007 silverado with a MSRP over $30,000.   Infact if you go up to posting # 371 jfritsch said: "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."   The original MSRP of the 2007 silverado crew cab I was talking about was $31,300   The adjusted MSRP as of a few days ago was $32,494. (They added limo tint & 5 spoke factory aluminum wheels.) So the $22,000 to $23,000 range jfritsch is talking about is still this fabled $10,000 off MSRP   Granted $20,000 was a lower offer. $1,300 lower than $10,000 off we are talking about, but asking $26,889 is also a far cry from $10,000 off the MSRP. That is more like $4,411 off MSRP & this included all rebates etc.   I was willing to go up but the all the dealers were stuck Edmunds invoice + $275 + what ever BS they could think to add on to jack up the price and then they'd offer you the rebate.   I just don't see this magic MSRP - $10,000 deal happening anytime soon unless there is a large jump in the GM rebates.

Replying to: nebraskabuyer (Jan 05, 2008 9:47 pm) A very good deal would be 9000-10000 off msrp. What you should expect when clearing out the 07s (aug-november) would be 7000-10000 off. Depending on how flexible you are with options and how hard up the dealer is. If inventories of 07s are manageable, they can take their time.   Happy drivin -jjf   I beg to differ.

#376 of 618 10k off by ja_lopezjr Jan 06, 2008 (2:51 pm)
Good luck now, GM just lowered the rebates this month. If someone gets the ad car and it is 10k off, don't expect another dealership to honor that price. Loss leader ads are just that, they lose the dealership money, hoping you will want another color or more options, and that more people coming looking for that car that is now sold and buy something else. People are also counting what they are saving in interest as the magic $10k off. Okay, makes sense but that is why people almost always op for the 0%. Interest on a 30k vehicle can very easy be upwards of 5-7k so you save lets say 7k in interest due to 0% and another 2-3k in profit the dealer has and now you are at the 9-10k mark. The dealer would love to have 7-10k in profit, but guess what, they don't.     You want huge rebates? Then all of use that have already bought a Chevy or are going to buy a Chevy should be unhappy due to the huge rebates ruining our resale or trade-in value. Go try and trade in a dodge that have 5-10k in rebates ALL the time and see what they are worth.     Bottom line if you want to save the most money look for an ad unit, and hope it has everything you want, which it probably won't. You can't have your cake and eat it to, so to say. Either pay more or settle, whatever makes you happy, but don't expect the impossible.   Rant off thanks

Replying to: trumanm (Jan 01, 2008 10:46 pm) It is cheaper to buy a Garmin Nuvi 350 GPS for about 300+/- than to have the GM mounted Nav. system. When you sell your vehicle you cannot take the mounted one with you. And also the portable Garmin can be used in any vehicle. Save the $ and use it somewhere else.
