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: jfritsch (Jan 05, 2008 9:00 pm) --jjf 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. 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." |

So I'm looking at a 2008 2500hd with the diesel, ltz package (need the comfy chair) and all the tow stuff. MSRP is about $50,500. Dealer offer is $44,000. I will probably be paying cash. Is this ok? I hate buying cars. ;(

| if the truck retails for 50,500 then you sould be able to get it for 41,900 with the $4250 in rebate that is available right now. (in socal) | |
| I stumbled into this converstion and thought I would add my 2 cents. I just bought a 2008 Sierra with $4500 in rebates and the friends and family discount of $2300. I got $6800 off a MSRP of about $32,700. I intended to purchased a nearly new truck, but found with the $6800 discounts, I was hovering near the prices of 2006 and 2007 with miles on them or at last withing $1500 or so. One of the rebates ends today and another rended yesterday. I found when you get friends and family or employee discounts, they will not deal with you. They won't even install mudflaps for you. Maybe you will get lucky and find a dealer that will negotiate. My dealer was Prestige in beautiful Ypsilanti, Michigan. | |
