Rebates for August haven't changed. They are the same through 8/19. That's probably when the 09s will start showing up. This may push the rebates. When the new model year start showing up is when the GMcard changes redemption allowances. I guess I'll wait for a change in redemption allowances.

And if thats what the rebates are for now, so be it. I'm pretty much resolved to drive the 05 through the next winter and see where things line up.
Both trucks that I had test driven back in March/April are still sitting on their respective lots.
So far, the rebates/financing has been nothing but a shell game.

I spoke to a different dealer earlier in the week on a trade deal for the same truckl. His number came is about the same in the mid 11k range to trade. He told me that GM did some direct mail coupons for 2k and asked me if I have received one. I said no. He said he would check their data base and see if I had been mailed one. The he called me back and said that my name was not it the data base. He also said if I was a member of Farm Bureau, he could take $750 off, but could not stack the deals, can only use one.
 
Have you heard of the direct mail rebates for 2K. If you can slap that on after you come to an agreement on the trade allowance, it would make it pretty affordable? I don't know how one get's into their data base. You would think buying a truck in the past would qualify.

I don't know how those data bases are formed.
I buy a new truck (or used to) every 3 years like clockwork. You'd think somebody would know that in some database.
 
2K would sweeten the deal enough ....provided the dealer doesn't try to cash in on it like other incentives.

I received one of these direct mail certificates. Well, actually the certificate is in the name of a family member who formerly resided here.
 
The certificate states that "this offer may be transferred only to individuals residing in the same household (same address) as the eligible recipient noted on this certicate (FL, TX, and CA residents must show proof of residency)...."
 
The certificate further states that "This offer is not offered to the general public."
 
Excludes: Aveo, Cobalt, Corvette Z06; Pontiac G5; Saturn ASTRA; hybrids; and medium-duty trucks.
 
Oh, the certificate is valid 07/14/08 thru 09/15/08.

Is this a good deal? by bjackson

What is everyone's assessment of the following deal:
 
2008 GMC Sierra 1500 Crew Cab Texas Edition (5.3l engine).
 
MSRP = $35,375.00
 
Negotiated Price incl. $5000 rebate (not incl. TT&L) = $26,357.00
 
Basically $9,018.00 off MSRP including the $5000 GM rebate.
 
Dealer is also giving Kelly Blue Book value on 2001 Ford F150 trade-in.
 
Out the door = $23,446.94
 
How does this compare with everyone else's experience? Should I be able to do better or is this a good deal?

KBB shows the following for Trade-In value:
 
Fair = $3600.00
 
Good = $4410.00
 
Excellent = $4900.00
 
Dealer is offering $4500.00. Vehicle is in good overall shape but has 20% tread left on tires and needs some minor repairs.

08 Silverado Crew Cab by jboehm

Got the following verbal deal today:
 
2008 Silverado Crew Cab LT1
4x4
Tow Package
5.3L V-8
Auto climate control
remote start
rear defroster
Z71 package
 
Out the door price = $23000
 
Trading in a vehicle that, according to the auction books I can find, is worth $4000 less than what I owe.
 
Test driving a similar vehicle now, they are bringing on the one that we are dealing on. Looking for the 'gotcha' in this deal. I know that it is verbal at this point but re-iterated, a couple of times, that this is $23000 out the door. The sales manager repeated, "$23000 out the door including doc fee".
 
Where's my gotcha? Or is this going to be a bait and switch? (yes, I'm a little cynical when it comes to auto dealers)

What is the MsRP on that truck? I'm figuring $35-36000. If so that's $12-13000 off MSRP. I'd be looking for the gotcha too.
