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!!!
#68 of 675 LS CC's for $21,000? by edklein Nov 15, 2004 (10:48 am)
I tell myself I'm not in the market as my 97 1500 is still holding up pretty well. But, I made the mistake of looking at the Saturday classified in the Houston Chronicle this weekend and I'm seeing many dealerships offering LS 2WD Crew Cab's in the neighborhood of $21,000. If is was just one dealer, I'd blow it off, but there were several that had this configuration in this price range. And these were for 2005s!   What's going on here? That's less than I paid for my 97 extended cab.
#69 of 675 2005 4D-4WD Chevy Truck.., REBATE? by crabbhvac Nov 16, 2004 (1:44 am)
What is the rebate for this truck? Dealership is telling me that it is 2000.00 and they are going to give me 2 - $500.00 certificates, then GMAC is giving us 1000.00 for repeat business.. I looked on a website about Chevy rebates, it has 3500.00 until 1/05.. Am I getting scammed? Or did I look at it wrong. thanks
#70 of 675 rebate is 2K for 2005 3.5K for 2004 by cheapersbetter Nov 16, 2004 (4:25 pm)
Crabhvac go to gmbuypower dot com they have the current incentives for 2004 and 2005 model years. Also if you want to make this deal hotter try and get a gm card. my buddy had the card for only few months and he got a offer from gm that bumped his card earnings up to 2K! His card rebate points were only at 369 so not bad good deal so check it out....
