#60 of 675 Looking to buy by powhatan Oct 13, 2004 (8:52 am)
2004 Silverado ext cab. 4x4. It has LS Package with single disc and BOSE and bucket seats. Lt duty package and a few other odds and ends.   Sticker is 35,050. They are discounting it to 30,600. Then 5000 in rebates and its 25,600.   I am upside down in my trade. Its a 2002 2WD silvarado LS Ext cab with 49000 miles. I owe 20,200 on it and they are offering 13000. So add that back in and we are at 32,800. Still under MSRP.   Any ideas on getting them lower on new truck or getting more out of the trade?   The dealership still has 22, 2004 4x4s ext cabs on the lot!!! All simular in price and packages.   Any help?

What in the blue blazes are you trying to do to yourself ... get yourself further into a hole that you'll never get out of? Think about it -- you want to take out a loan for 32800 on a vehicle that's worth at best mid to upper 20s right now and sinking fast? You'll never get out of that hole. You don't give all the essentials on the truck you want to buy, but I suggest you take a SERIOUS look at what they're selling for used right now. If you thought being $7000 upside down was rough, you'll be in for a rude awakening. Don't do it. Of course, I'm no financial advisor.

Replying to: jhs70 (Oct 14, 2004 8:24 am) I hear you!!! Either way I have scewed myself with the damn lease. I will be over miles so bad I will have to buy the truck at the end of the lease. Truck has 48000 miles lease is for 60k and I have a long time to go. The new truck would be a purchase. Replies to this message: lee_w (Oct 16, 2004 8:05 am)

Replying to: joe29001 (Oct 11, 2004 5:46 pm) joe,   What was invoice on that truck? I have never purchased a new vehicle before and am looking at a similar truck but the lowest quote I am getting for a 30K MSRP truck(after 5K rebates and 2K gm card) is 20,700. Any insight or help would be appreciated. Dillydill Replies to this message: joe29001 (Oct 19, 2004 3:09 pm) dillydill (Oct 21, 2004 7:56 am) joe29001 (Oct 21, 2004 11:18 am)

Replying to: dillydill (Oct 19, 2004 12:03 pm) The invoice on the truck was $27,040, according to dealer's web site (I never actually saw the invoice sheet though).   Based on my experience, you should be able to get a better deal. In some shopping around, most dealers were offering ~ $10,000 off a $30,000 MSRP (without much haggling at all). Not sure where you're located, maybe the rebates/incentives are different (I'm in Massachusetts).   Basically, I was considering 3 different trucks: 1. MSRP: 30,285 - Dealer offer = Trade + $6,000 ($9,985 Discount) 2. MSRP: $29,605 - Dealer offer = Trade + $7,000 ($9,605 discount) 3. MSRP: $30,037 - Dealer offer = Trade + $6,000 ($11,037 discount)   I took these offers to another local dealer and he offered me a similar truck (off the showroom floor, brand new, with 4 miles on the odometer) for $4,500 + trade ($12,808 discount - the best deal I could find).   Here's the deal (from the purchase agreement) $30,308 MSRP -$3,500 GM Cash -$1,500 GMAC rebate (financed at 6.5% - will refinance soon) -$1,500 Mfg coupons (3 at 500 each) -$994 GM Card Earnings -$6,308 Dealer Discount -$13,000 Trade (Fair trade value, per KBB)   $3,506 + Trade Bottom Line Replies to this message: dillydill (Oct 21, 2004 7:56 am) joe29001 (Oct 21, 2004 11:18 am)

Replying to: joe29001 (Oct 19, 2004 3:09 pm) Joe,   I am in MA too. It has been pretty crazy lately. Could you post the dealership name and where you got your truck? or email the details. My email should be in my profile.   Also the Mfg coupons. . .how did that work out? Did you get them in the mail or basically how do you get them?   Thanks again and go sox!   Dillydill Replies to this message: joe29001 (Oct 21, 2004 11:18 am)

Replying to: dillydill (Oct 21, 2004 7:56 am) Bought it Imperial Chevrolet - Milford, MA.   The Mfg coupons are additional discounts from GM to the dealer. Most dealers seem to have them lately.   These are in addition to any other 'secret' Mfg to dealer incentives, and the holdback, which is at least 3% of MSRP.   Go Sox!!!
