Re: 24 hr test drive $1000 Incentive? Also, GM Gold Card or GM Blue Card? [workingman] by rheiling

I previously had purchased a 2002 Silverado and applied a GM Card rebate on it. After that I would receive various additional incentives in the mail.
 
The $1,000 24 hour test drive was a certificate they sent me in the mail. Also I did not have to do the test drive, just present the dealer with the certificate at time of purchase.
 
Not sure which GM card I have, my GM card has no annual limit on how much rebate I can accrue in one year, but does have a limit on how much can be applied to a particular vehicle. I was again mailed a promotion from GM adding $500 or $1,000 on a purchase and delivery between Aug 18 & Sept 30th depending on vehicle.
 
A note: Make sure that if you are going to purchase a GM vehicle and apply a GM card rebate that you check with GM and see if you've been given a bonus rebate amount, it's possible a mailing may not have gotten to you and if you don't know about it don't count on the dealer to let you know (meaning they may keep the bonus amount themselves).

Silverado Purchase Experience by bradg49

Hello all... I just wanted to share my experience with purchasing a new Silverado. Just purchased Sep. 7.
 
I used the GMAC financing in order to get the rebate and the rate that I received was 7.75. The contract does state that "in the event of early payoff, some of the interest may be refunded." I guess I do have a rule of 78 contract. After learning this, I contacted GMAC to find out about refinancing. They have not received my information yet, but I asked if there was any minimum length I was required to keep the contract. The lady told me that there was a six month requirement. I replied that I didn't see it anywhere on the contract and asked her to point it out to me. She then puts me on hold for a couple of minutes. She comes back and says that her supervisor told her that there is no minimum contract length.
 
I am happy with my purchase and the dealership, but the GMAC financing seems to be kind of shady. I wish I would have read these boards before signing that financing contract, however I plan on refinancing asap.
 
Cost:
$25477.31 (Stated Invoice) + $300 + $159 DOC Fee + $350 (spray in bedliner) + Tax = Total: $27863 - $5000 rebates - $750 military discount - GM Card Earnings $723 - $1000 bonus earnings (received in the mail) + title, and some other $3 fee = $20410 total financed (no down payment)
 
Options:
2wd ext. cab LS (4.8L), two-tone paint (black and silver), steering wheel mounted radio controls, spray in bedliner, spare tire lock, cd & cass., Fog lights, high capacity air cleaner, 16" aluminum wheels, white letter tires

Crew Cab z71 price paid by wildman

Here's the info - 2004 Silverado 1500 Crew Cab Z71 with MSRP of 36,260 (which includes $915 in options). After negotiating and applying all rebates, the selling price of the truck was 25,819. Add back the cost of tax, tag, doc fee, title, and delivery charge for finding/getting truck from dealer 295 miles away = $27,033 total. I told one of my coworkers about the deal and it made him sick! He told me that he paid $1500 more for a Z71 extended cab(third door) in 2000, and his doesn't even have as many options as mine in the Crew Cab! The dealer found the exact truck I wanted, with nothing more or less, which was real important to me. I'm glad I waited and found this one.

2004 WORK TRUCK by duff333

Good morning. Last week I purchased a standard 4X4 work truck with the 4.8L and hitch package. MSRP was $24,727 - -I got the $5K rebate + $1K coupon from dealer + $2K on my GM card + $1K coupon I received in mail. Paid $22,900 for the truck with doc fees - $9K rebates,etc. = $13,900 + ttl = $15,200. This was $2K less than my 2000 work truck and that truck was a manual!
 
Like WILDMAN above I'm glad I waited - -almost pulled the trigger 3 months ago and then the truck would have been $3K more.

You stated that the dealer found your exact truck. You mean color as well as options? What color did you get and could you explain in detail how you got 30% off a new truck. Best I could do was $28,500 on a similar priced Silverado.

Yes, you can, and I recommend it. I had the same configuration as you on a '96 1500, and went to a higher ratio (lower numerical rating),significantly reducing fuel consumption. You will pay for this in low-end performance, but if you are not requiring this, you will definitely save expensive fuel on the road.

Yes - He found exactly what I wanted - Dark Metallic Green Crew Cab Z71 with tubular assist steps, HD towing package, and six way power driver seat. The dealer claimed he was running a local special selling trucks at 500 below invoice (I don't know if this is right, but the bottom line sure sounded good to me). $31,819 minus 4500 for rebate and another 1500 for using gmac financing brought the price to 25819. Add back the taxes, doc, tag, title, out of state deilivery fee, and it goes for $27033 total out the door. I just couldn't turn it down!

chevy and maybe all of GM will be offering 0% for 72 months on all 2004 vehicles PLUS all cash incentives from 9/27-9/30
 
it's on pretty good authority. I couldn't believe the incentives part - but my contact stands by it
