#533 of 628 Re: Amazed at how un-competitive dealer was on Silverado - what's the deal? [jfritsch] by nyaudi Jun 22, 2008 (6:18 pm)
Replying to: jfritsch (Jun 22, 2008 2:27 pm) So far, I'm not seeing quite that much desperation locally - but that was why I decided to look at full-size. I only drive my truck ~3000 miles/year so I can afford the gas and capitalize on the situation if I really see these go at fire sale prices. But as you note, the industry is changing, and I think the big 3 are finally doing the smart thing - cutting supply to support price. So this will eventually work itself out and re-establish a more normal equilibrium, particularly if the speculation bubble in oil bursts, but the next few months seem like a great window of opportunity.   An 07 Tundra similar to what I was quoted $22K on for an 08 (about $9-10K below MSRP) works out to about $21,700 on trade-in according to Edmunds. I doubt someone would really get $21,700, but seems like $9-$10K off is about as good as it's going to get for the moment.   It is definitely an odd time to be looking - I'm not sure where all the cheap trade-ins are piling up yet, but they must be building pressure. And I don't need to buy right away, so may give this until Jul/Aug when pressure builds more.   The most comical pricing I've seen was on last gen Tundras - Toyota dealers are asking for $22-$25K on 05/06 Tundras from previous generation. So once again, if I go used for a Toyota truck, it's going to have to be 3rd party... Toyota dealers seem to think their used cars are made of gold at $1000/ounce Replies to this message: jfritsch (Jun 23, 2008 2:33 am)

Replying to: nyaudi (Jun 22, 2008 6:18 pm) All dealers think their cars are worth 1000/ounce. This is a valuable machine you have here.. you don't think we will part with it for nothing?   BTW just for kicks check the value on kbb.com and nada.com. Edmunds is frequently the most generous (of an already generous for trucks) bunch on trade in value.   Good luck --jjf   The most comical pricing I've seen was on last gen Tundras - Toyota dealers are asking for $22-$25K on 05/06 Tundras from previous generation.

I'm going to be in the market shortly for a new Silverado 3500 HD diesel, crewcab LTZ 4x4. There's no trade in, I'll be self financing - and I'm moving from overseas, so dealer location is not an issue.   How much do you think I should be able to get a new truck for in those circumstances?

Replying to: huskyhauler (Jul 03, 2008 8:15 am) I would want 10k off anything around 40k just to start. With the number of used 06s 05s and 07s on the market from massive trades and lease turn ins I'd try there too. If an 07 wholesales used (trade in) on kbb.com at 17000 I would be looking to pay 16000 or less retail. The market is that bad for these. I don't know if the books will catch up (with the price drops) in the next few months or not. (They theoretically should) For a specialty truck like the 3500 the market may not be that bad.   Good luck --jjf   I'm going to be in the market shortly for a new Silverado 3500 HD diesel, crewcab LTZ 4x4.

#541 of 628 2008 Loaded Silverado 4x4 Crewcab by rdestryw Jul 12, 2008 (2:58 pm)
MSRP $43k - 0% 72 months with payment of $550/month = $39.6k purchase price. Is this a bad deal? From what I've read in this forum people are getting way below MSRP - is this so with 0% financing as well? Is a price at invoice a decent deal or is the market just so bad for new trucks now that I should find a dealer who will go lower?   Dealer was vague and wouldn't give specifics on invoice price or lease incentives! The truck is smokin' and I almost bought it until the salesman wanted to tell me how they weren't making money ... this and that ... and so finally I told him I was done and walked out and he started mouthing! I was thinking about getting in touch with his manager and letting them know that as a previous customer at that dealership I am extremely disappointed and want a hot deal. Any thoughts?

Replying to: rdestryw (Jul 12, 2008 2:58 pm) You would need an interest rate calculator to calculate the savings of a 0% loan for 72 months on 30k. Provided your credit is good I presume this would be about 6000. In that case your deal would be about 10k off msrp which would be an average to mediocre deal. If your credit is below average that may be a better deal.   Solicit bids via email (chevy website) from about 20+ dealers within a 100-200 mi radius of your home last week of the month. Give Model, acceptable color(s) options and approx msrp. The more flexible you are the better. Work with the one out of 8-10 or so who need to deal end of month. Work with the 2-4 finalists. If you want to have them compete on payment with 0% then work that in.   Good luck --jjf   MSRP $43k - 0% 72 months with payment of $550/month = $39.6k purchase price. Is this a bad deal?
