#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.
#49 of 675 Re: Crew Cab z71 price paid [jerrymcshane1] by wildman Sep 19, 2004 (3:22 pm)
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!

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.

Replying to: jerrymcshane1 (Sep 29, 2004 11:56 am) I'm being offered an 04 silverado extended cab w/5.4 V8 LS. MSRPs at 30,600. Selling price is 21,287 after rebates.   My question is: how long do I have to leave my car financed with GMAC? If their rates are too high, can I refinance through my credit union, and how soon?

Just got off the phone w/GMAC. She stated some dealers were giving out incorrect info stating consumers must keep the loan for a certain amount of time.   There is no minimum time limit.
#57 of 675 2004 Duramax Purchase by blackmax Oct 02, 2004 (6:02 pm)
Just purchased a new 2004 Chevy 2500HD Duramax. Extended cab, allison trans, LS package with tonneau cover, under back seat storage locker and bed extender. Sticker was 43,265.00. Received $5003.00 GM Supplier discount, due to working for a global coal mining equipment manufacturer. Since it was a diesel it only had $2500.00 rebate. Dealer took $7503.00 right off the top and then we started trading on the balance. Traded 1999 Z71 extended cab with 108,000 and it brought an even $11,000.00 on trade. After taxes and a small down payment I financed $24,000.00 at 5.15% on 72 months. I thought this was a pretty good deal from Shelor Chevrolet in Christiansburg Virginia.
