Replying to: jfritsch (Aug 11, 2008 4:53 am) I agree with you about the inflated MSRP's and even Invoices for that matter... People get "invoice" and "cost" confused, and you know as well as I do that those two are certainly not the same, and as to how much they differ, the public will never know. The only thing that knowing invoice does is help the consumer compare prices from dealer X to dealer Y. The owner of the dealership and maybe the GM are probably the only two people (other than those at the factory) who know the true cost, as it involves much more than just how much they "paid" for the vehicle. Salaries, comissions, overhead, etc... they're all part of the "total" cost and these are quite frankly, none of our business. I can say that as a consumer and as a former automotive employee. Sure, as a consmer, you can offer whatever you want or submit multiple bids, and yes, you may find one dealer that will unleash one for less than all the numbers that can be tallied, but when $8500 - $9000 is a rock bottom deal based on the numbers, all I'm saying is that no dealer (without help from the factory) will quote someone $13k off. That was my original point, at $8500 off (net), that's taking everything on the table (holdback, trunk money, etc). With that in mind, yes we still don't know the true cost, but a dealer is not gonna' be stupid enough to come up with another $4500 of money that the general public knows nothing about, that may or may not be there. What you'll mainly get on internet quotes are Invoice + Rebates. Some will be less and some will be more, and then negotiations can start, but at invoice, there's maybe $1500 tops on the table - at least what the fleet/internet manager knows. The GM won't tell him his true cost either. If I could get $13k off a Silverado, I would buy one tomorrow - no joke! Like I said before, with a current rebate of $5k, you're still hard pressed to get $10k off. Again, you brought up some good points in your last post, but realistically, I just didn't think it was advantageous to get prospective buyer's hopes up on an unreal discount. |

Replying to: catdaddy25 (Aug 12, 2008 4:12 am) The best GM is ever going to give anyone is GMS price plus rebates. That's all the dealers are allowed to give! GM controls this, not the dealer. So you guys need to find out the GMS price, and that will be the dealers bottom line. GMS tends to be around 10% off.

Guys going in this weekend to buy a GMC sierra SLT 4x4 with preferred package, 20" wheels. MSRP is $38,810. Worked down to a price of $33,650 out the door  0% for 72 months without any money down or trade-in. What do you guys think?

Considering that TT&L is about $3000, I am getting the deal for roughly $8200 off MSRP and the 0% financing for 72 mos. I f thats average, what would you consider a great deal as I would hold off till Sept. to get a better one. Any sugestions or recomendations will be greatly appreciated. Also any GMC dealerships in the country who would give me a better deal would be greatly appreciated, as I am willing to fly to a city to get the best deal. Thanks!!

Replying to: gnp96 (Aug 13, 2008 7:18 pm) Yep, if you truly have 3000 ttl (not big dealer doc fees included) (california?) pushing 14000+ off msrp you're definitely in good deal territory. Check out the kbb.com trade in used 07 value of a truck equipped like yours (38000msrp). If its around 20000, 24000 or so is what you want to be paying for an new 08. If more than 20k, better your deal is still. Good luck --jjf Considering that TT&L is about $3000, I am getting the deal for roughly $8200 off MSRP and the 0% financing for 72 mos.
