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?

What trade in value is the dealer utilizing via the KBB website, excellent, good or fair?

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.

Stickers for $35855. Ya, this really bugs me. The manager didn't take long to make his decision and he is bringing in a vehicle. Doesn't make sense. Tomorrow outta be interesting.
 
I looked at their inventory and they have two other LT1s that would work for me. Different colors but they would still work for me.

Can someone give me an opinion on this deal? I'm new to the Chevy brand and the truck market in general.
 
I'm looking at a new '08 Silverado Texas Edition with the LT2 Package.
 
The sticker says $ 31,720. They are telling me the invoice is $29,715.
 
They are offering the truck at $23,791 after the 5k rebate and some discount. It looks like they are coming off the msrp around 3k, plus the 5k rebate. Any thoughts on this? Thanks!

I have no Idea if that otd you give involves paying off your 4000 loan, in addition to 1000 in tax. On the surface it looks like just the tax. 13000 off msrp is nothing to write home about. The bottom dropped out of the market on these vehicles 10 months ago.
 
A quick look on kbb.com for a used 07 like the 08 you are looking at would probably show a trade in value of 20000 for a 36000 msrp vehicle and many dealers not wanting to trade for that even.
 
Scepticism is always warranted but the fact the guy dropped his pants so fast for 13000 off may show how bad the market is in your area and in general. Shop your deal around for more off msrp with the vehicle locator on the chev website, leave your cell #. 13000 off is good, but not giving the vehicle away. (they've generally sold frequently for 10000 off in august for years, and that was before this year's train wreck)
 
Good luck
