i dont understand this. dealerships in the lower 48 consistantly sell vehicles for under invoice and on top of that, you get the rebate. say a truck is 32,000 msrp, the invoice is 30,000, and the rebate is 5,000. alaska dealerships right now say 30,000 plus 5,000 rebate. and consistantly say "we cant lose money". ok well how can dealerships down in the states sell a vehicle for under 30,000 plus rebate. example i got a quote from bill pierre, the truck was 1,000 UNDER invoice plus rebate of 7,000. putting the truck at almost 11.5k under msrp. so to jjf, how do i go about getting a truck, msrp of 37,550, red tag plus 6500 rebate on it now puts it at 28,133. how can i get it for 10k off?!? its just frustrating to me. thank you for your help! i know all about dealer holdback and everything. i know when gm says ok red tag on there vehicles, that the dealerships get an additional incentive to sell. and they still simply wont budge.

Replying to: dave27615 (Nov 17, 2008 6:47 pm) What was the sticker? A good deal is about 7-8% off sticker plus rebates. If you can get 10-12% off sticker plus rebates, then you're talking employee pricing. |

sticker (msrp) was $33,165 ... BTW, the "Red Tag" was 23,737. NC taxes are 3%, tags are $68. I spoke with the sales guy (one of the commercial/fleet guys) over a couple of days and he said he couldn't come down off the "red tag". I said fine, but I would only pay $50 for a doc fee (they wanted $399), taxes and 68 for tags. He actually came back to me with a lower price. As you can see, the red tag price plus state tax is over the OTD price I have. So they did come down off the red tag enough to negate the other fees; plus they threw in a bed liner. |

I just got an email from GM to voice my concerns on their behalf. They directed me to this site http://gmfactsandfiction.com/ They must be getting worried.

Im kinda surprised no one has posted here in a while but here is my 2 cents. Was looking to replace a work truck with a heavy duty truck to pull a new cargo trailer. Wanted a used diesel because new are so expensive. I simply could not make a deal with any dealers on used Dodge diesels, stuff 3-5 years old and 30-70k miles. Happened on a used (about 2005) Silverado 2500HD 2DR 2WD 6.0 gasser work truck 100K mi. The lot wanted $8k and wouldn't go less than 7k. I just about gave up when I thought I would check edmunds on an equivalent new 2008 Rig. The manufacture was offering a total $9k cash back! Called a nearby Chevy dealer and told them what I wanted- 2008 2500HD 6.0 Gas WT 2wd regular cab, summit white, trailer package (hitch ,locking diff, wiring and heavy suspension) pwr windows doors locks, cruise, AC, tilt. They got to work on it and said they could have it the next day. Total cost excluding title-$15,900! I about fell over, that was so cheap I couldn't afford not to buy it! Took delivery on Dec 11 and am very satisfied. Screw the diesel, this thing tows the new trailer like a charm.

Replying to: bman8 (Jan 01, 2009 1:55 pm) The 6.0 engine is great, I have one in my 06 Silverado. It can pass anything on the road, except a gas station. The 08s come with a 6 spd unlike mine with a 4 spd. Should be a little better. That's a great price. I've been looking to replace mine with a 5.3 The 6.0 was a killer at 4.00 a gallon gas. It's better now, but who knows for how long. Being that I doubt I'll tow anything more than a tandem 7000# trailer the 5.3 should do. The 08 inventory is really getting tight, the employee pricing in Nov really cleared old inventory. Let's see what happens next week when the red tag event is over. Maybe they will start discounting the 09s. I think the big 3 are shutting down production for a while to clear inventory and save costs. Go figure, they get tax dollar bailout and take a break to clear inventory, so that they can make money. On our tax dollars. Is this the bizarro world? |
