#44 of 675 Crew Cab z71 price paid by wildman Sep 13, 2004 (3:05 pm)
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.

#45 of 675 2004 WORK TRUCK by duff333 Sep 14, 2004 (3:16 am)
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.

Replying to: wildman (Sep 13, 2004 3:05 pm) 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.

#48 of 675 Re: improving gas mileage on 2500HD [silverado1] by 96ck150 Sep 15, 2004 (9:57 am)
Replying to: silverado1 (Sep 04, 2004 7:35 pm) 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.

Replying to: jerrymcshane1 (Sep 14, 2004 11:26 am) 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!
#50 of 675 wait! by bwwb Sep 24, 2004 (3:08 pm)
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 Replies to this message: balich (Sep 27, 2004 12:51 pm)

Replying to: bwwb (Sep 24, 2004 3:08 pm) re .-1   That is not true .. if you take the 0% you DO NOT GET THE REBATE AS WELL. One or the other only.   Go to GM.COM to verify ..   If that was the case 0% and 5k in rebates .. that would be too good to be true.
#52 of 675 Another actual buying experience by adscurry Sep 29, 2004 (6:32 am)
Last week, before the new 0% financing offer, I purchased a loaded Z71 with a MSRP of 35,500 for $25,700 plus processing fee. This was $1,000 under invoice less $5,000 in incentives. Dealer tried unsuccessfully to add back freight to invoice but it was already in the invoice. Dealer said they could do the deal because this truck entitled them to the 3% holdback. They really pay invoice less 3% less other incentives that we will never figure out. I took a $5,000 GMAC finance (min. allowed) to get the full $5,000 in rebates 9.25% for 2 years. I plan to pay off ASAP. Appears to be a simple interest loan. I think the money maker in this loan was the high interest rate. Dealer was loaded with these trucks. Ultimately, supply and demand is the greatest factor in final pricing. Replies to this message: jerrymcshane1 (Sep 29, 2004 11:56 am) robphelan (Sep 30, 2004 6:02 am)

Replying to: adscurry (Sep 29, 2004 6:32 am) 28% off the sticker is about 8% MORE than I've been offered by all dealers that I've contacted in the last month. $28,398 on a $36,750 sticker (which includes the GMAC finance rebate) I find it hard to believe that a dealer would sell these units at such a loss that you referred to. However, GMAC is now the financial "backbone" for GM. Most of it's profits come from their financial arm. And charging 9.25% is the stuff that juice loans are made of.
