#664 of 675 Work Truck - Delivery use by ejnichol Jul 05, 2009 (6:36 pm)
Bought this for delivery use in my small business.   2009 Silverado, Regular Cab, Long Bed, V-6, Auto, Cruise & Radio/CD. White with Grey Vinyl   Build date 1/2009 so these prices are pre '09 price increase(guessing 4 %)   MSRP with freight $ 21,060, Invoice 19,622.67, Dealer net price 19,826.32   less Loyalty cash(from GM) -1,000 less Rebate (from GM) -1500 less GM Card(from GM) - 3279.15 (had to buy in my name which was bad, they've                                                      gotten more stringent on use)   plus Tax & title(from Gov.) 673.68   Out the door 14,720.85   Not a great deal but got burn't out after several days of going back and forth with several dealers. Learned a lot though. Would zero in on which 2 dealers that had suitably equiped truck in stock and get vin then call sales manager and ask for best out the door price on that vin # truck. I probably could have gotten couple hundred more off. But finding the pre price increase inventory softened the over invoice price.   All four dealers that played quoted same +- 100 for same package with cruise. Could have gotten same unit but less cruise for 600-700 less at one dealer. But had to have that stupid factory cruise. I knew since was buying in my name I'd drive it personally till next tax year and hate not having cruise. Particularly with v-6.   LIke these new ones better than the classic '06(5.3l ext cab) we have. Also have '01 F150 V-6 whose performance proved we could work with v-6 in full size truck.

Replying to: ejnichol (Jul 05, 2009 6:36 pm) The invoice on that truck listed in post 664 above was close to 20,100. I messed up in my post. It would seem that i got it for a little less than invoice but dealer still made money since hold back money still is in play from gm to dealer at year end.

#668 of 675 2009 Silverado LT (2wd Crew Cab) by ejones Oct 22, 2009 (12:16 pm)
Hello everyone,   I'm in the process of helping my parents purchase a new 2009 Silverado and I have a couple of questions.   First, here is the info about the deal. We already reached an agreement about the price, so I'm providing this info to give everyone a recent data point.   2009 Silverado LT (2wd Crew Cab) Color - Victory Red Options - Interior Plus Package, Exterior Plus Package & Power Plus Package MSRP - $34,870 Dealer Invoice - $32,882.03 Price before rebates - $32,482.03 ($400 under invoice) Rebates - $6500 ($6000 rebate and $500 for waiving the 60 day return) Final Price - $25,982.03 + tax, registration, etc. Location - San Bernardino, CA   Now, for my questions:   1. My parents would like a car alarm. I pretty sure the F&I folks will offer to activate one that has already been installed (at least they did for my dad's 04 Silverado). If I remember correctly, they wanted $795 last time. I know aftermarket will be cheaper, but my parents would rather just use the one that's pre-installed. What would be a fair price to pay for the alarm activation?   2. My parents also want an extended warranty. I know GM offers one and we can get it from the F&I folks. My parents will want the best one, which was 5 years, 70k miles last time. What is a fair price to pay for the GM warranty?   3. My dad will also be trading in his 04 Silverado LS. I've gotten quotes from Edmunds, NADA, and KBB. NADA is the highest of the three. I also plan to take the truck to Carmax and get a quote from them as well. I plan to use these quotes to establish an acceptable range for the trade. Anyone have any other advice about how to maximize the trade in price?   Thanks in advance for your assistance!

Replying to: ejones (Oct 22, 2009 12:16 pm) A couple of answers for you and opinions. 1. LT equiped Silverado's come with a factory alarm system. I am not sure what else you are looking for unless you want GPS tracking, etc. But this is also a feature of On-Star so that if the vehicle is reported stolen, On-Star can put the engine in "limp" mode so that it is difficult to drive.   2. Ex Warranties are a crap shoot. Do some research with reputable companies and get a price quote. Use that info to negotiate a better price with the F&I guys.   3. The Carmax thing is your best bet. The price they give you is the "real" trade in value. Regardless of what NADA, KBB, etc. say. If there is another used car dealer locally that offers to buy your car without purchasing, you could check with them.   I have personally done the Carmax thing on a prior vehicle. I just told the dealer the price I wanted for the trade in and why, they asked to see the Carmax "offer" and they matched it No questions asked.   Good luck.

Replying to: catam (Oct 22, 2009 5:18 pm) Thanks for the reply, catam   I wasn't aware that the LTs came with an alarm. I guess I somehow missed that fact when I was going over the options. But that is good news, as that is one less expense my parents have to worry about.   Also, thanks for the Carmax advice. I plan to use that as our bottom line for the trade. I'm gonna try to negotiate down from the highest estimate (NADA at this point). But it's good to know that dealers seem willing to at least match the Carmax offer.
