Replying to: bman8 (Jan 01, 2009 1:55 pm) Bman8,   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?
#650 of 675 2008 Silverado Z-71 Ext Cab - 28,500 by pickupman3 Feb 21, 2009 (9:57 am)
Was looking for an 08 Silverado last year in Hampton Roads area of South East Virginia. Dealers seemed to all have inflated pricing and would not negotiate at all. Ended up purchasing the same truck in North Carolina and saving over $4,000.00 Would high recommend checking prices in other areas of Virginia before buying the Hampton Roads areas. It almost seems the dealers know the Sailors returning from deployment have money in their pocket to burn and refuse to fairly negotiate. One dealer even refused to allow for the current GM rebate. OVer all deal - 2008 SIlverado Ext-Cab Z-71 LTZ Sticker $36,375 Invoice $32,301 (true invoice) AFter rebates and discounts - $28,800.00 Replies to this message: jfritsch (Feb 22, 2009 10:04 am)

Replying to: pickupman3 (Feb 21, 2009 9:57 am) It is usually not possible for the dealer to deny a factory rebate. Most of the other marketing gimmicks note "dealer participation may vary". In any event, a $2500 rebate can be cancelled out by adding 2500 to the purchase price.   It almost seems the dealers know the Sailors returning from deployment have money in their pocket to burn and refuse to fairly negotiate   I don't know what the deal is, but the price is the price. Get bids from 20 other dealers last week of the month and see what shakes out. If the dealer in question (located favorably usually) is moving all he can get his hands on at a certain price that is it. There is no unfairness. Since Chevy has about 3500 dealerships there are alternatives.   Good luck --jjf   Was looking for an 08 Silverado last year in Hampton Roads area of South East Virginia.

#652 of 675 great prices in Vermont by sb55 Feb 22, 2009 (11:38 am)
I was in Vermont this week, and a Dealer in Barre/E. Montpelier was advertising on TV. The offer was over $10,000.00 off of an extended cab 4 x 4. The price for a 2009 was $19,989.00. I am about a year away from a new vehicle, so I hope it will still be on next year!
#653 of 675 EXCELLENT TRUCK BUYING EXPERIENCE by jackson123 Feb 23, 2009 (6:30 pm)
We bought a new 2009 Chevrolet Extended Cab Silverado. We had shopped around a lot. We visited Mike Young Chevrolet and had a HORRIBLE experience so we decided to drive out to Orange Texas. The staff was so helpful and made our horrible experience in buying our new truck into the best car buying experience EVER... Thank you to all those who helped us at Granger Chevrolet.

#655 of 675 2009 Silverado Texas Edition by hammer17 Mar 03, 2009 (7:22 pm)
I am in Arlington Texas and went to Vandergriff Chevy to find a new truck. The first one I looked at I fell in love, it was a silver 2009 silverado 1500 crew cab texas edition. I saw the sticker and almost passed out. It has the cloth interior and the 5.7 litre with the flex fuel option. Overall a bad azz looking truck, chrome door handles, mirrors, wheels, gauge covers etc... Sticker was $34,998 which I thought was weird but said 3k rebate which made it 31,998 right. I had a trade in which I owed 5,300 on and they gave me $6,500 cause I told them I owed at least 6k so I made $1,200 right there. TT&L was $1,850 roughly. Extended warrenty was $14 extra a month roughly $1,800 over all or something close to that. Which would have brought the Total OVERALL price to $35,648. After all said and done I signed the line at final price of 31,253 with a $1,200 check coming to me because the have to send me the rest of the amount after they pay the trade-in off. That pays for a year of insurance which is 649$ a year full coverage through Standard Insurance. Yes that leaves me with $551.00 in my pocket after all said and done and I could'nt be happier, I LOVE THIS TRUCK. Hope everybody has the experiance I did, email with any questions please. I have pics of my truck and am getting Magnaflow muffler putting on Saturday. Replies to this message: sarahandbray (May 06, 2009 6:23 am)
#656 of 675 '09 Silverado 1500 Crew Cab Z71 in Albany, NY by sarahandbray May 06, 2009 (6:23 am)
Replying to: hammer17 (Mar 03, 2009 7:22 pm) Just figured I'd post my buying experience in case it helped anyone else out. Shopped around a LOT here in upstate, NY--seems to be a bad time to buy a big truck because the gas prices are lower and they're moving them like hot-cakes.   Anyway, after a lot of research and dickering with dealers, the best we could get was exactly invoice price from Fuccillo Chevrolet in East Greenbush, NY (DeNooyer and DePaula would not go less than $500 over invoice--downstate, closer to Manhattan, was even worse).   '09 Silverado 1500 LT Crew Cab Z71 off-road in Blue Granite Metallic. 5.3 V-8. Chrome running boards, soft tonneau cover, multi-zone electronic heat/air, rear-window defogger, radio controls on steering wheels, Stabilitrak, cloth bench seats, nice center console, Bluetooth/XM radio, chrome grille, etc.   pathetic trade-in on a '98 Silverado--but didn't want to try to sell this thing by ourselves--170,000 miles, some rust, check engine light on, non-working tailgate.   MSRP: $38,542 Invoice : $35,754 (price paid) Incentive -$4,000 _________________                 $31,754   GM points:-$1500 Trade in: -$2500   So total without tax that we owed was $27,871.50   And the tax (at least here in NYS) can be written off on your taxes if you purchase a new car in '09. So that's a pretty good chunk--$2660.32 to write off.   Hope that helps...and I hope we didn't get ripped off!!!! Sarah
