#14 of 46 Employee pricing by orlando5 Sep 23, 2005 (5:23 am)
Why did the employee pricing change from end of July to September on Colorados? It appears GM is still advertising employee pricing but is it truly employee pricing since prices decreased approx. $700 - $1000? Employee pricing is usually a percentage off of invoice and the invoice price did not change on the colorado. Is this false advertising? I paid approx. $800 more in July than the current employee price in September even though I purchased with a dealership that participated in employee pricing.   I do not think I paid what GM employees paid as there advertising goes.

I got the employee price after reviewing my contract.   The #14 posting is in error. No wrong doing by the dealership or GM.

Hi, my brother just bought a 2006 Chevy Colorado Regular cab, 2WD, 5-speed manual Transmission, 2.8 liter/4-cylinder. He was telling me over the phone that the MSRP on the truck is $15,330 and the Invoice price is $16,260. when he said this, i got a very bad feeling that he got taken by the salesman. I looked over my papers from the purchase of my 2004 Silverado that i bought new back in mid-2004. It had an MSRP $27,260 and the Invoice price of $24,096. I believe that the Invoice for my brothers truck includes the Factory Holdback and possibly other in-valid charges. Can anyone on this forum tell me if i am reading these numbers correctly? Should the Invoice price always be quite lower than the MSRP? I read this really good site that is very imformative. The Factory Holdback is not supposed to be included in the buyers price as it is given back to the Dealership once it sales the vehicle. Please contact me if you have any information on this issue.   Thanks,   Juan, Tampa, FL Replies to this message: madridjoe (Jan 16, 2006 4:52 pm)

Replying to: tampaconsumer (Dec 21, 2005 12:05 am) I sell Chevys not that far from you, Invoice will always be lower than MSRP, I suspect your brother did not have his figures right. Holdback is not reflected in either MSRP or Invoice pricing, it is listed separately on the invoice. For the record, if you ask to see the invoice and the salesman refuses, you are in the wrong dealership. Today, since everyone has access to this info anyhow on the net, there is no reason not to be up front with all of this information.

Does $24,000 with $26000 OTD sound like a good price on a left over 2006 Canyon SLT 4x4 with an MSRP of about $32,000? Replies to this message: jfritsch (Apr 21, 2007 4:47 pm) c0m (Apr 22, 2007 6:01 am)

Replying to: c0m (Apr 21, 2007 2:10 pm) Check the used price of your vehicle 06 with 100 miles on kbb.com, nada.com and edmunds.com. Take the average of the 2 lowest prices and add 1000-1500. The car is almost 2 years old. I'm assuming around $21000 is what you are looking at (closer to 20-21 if the build date on the drivers door well is in 05). Otd is not very descriptive as sales tax is 300- $2000 depending on State.   Do check into the 07 Nissan Frontier (they sell for 3500-4000) off MSRP or the Tacoma. (5000-6000 off MSRP). The quality differential, power and features are too good to mess with colorado/canyon as GM really screwed the pooch with it.   You are probably talking about 24-$27000 for a 07 crew Frontier or Tacoma with features of the SLT. The Honda Ridgeline may also be something you want to check out. (5000-6000 off MSRP)   If you want to go GM the Silverado Full size is the way to go. If published turning circle is correct, a Chev Silverado is the same as the Canyon in a fullsize truck, and much higher quality and power. Last summer the Silverado sold for 9-10k off MSRP and will probably do the same this year putting you in the 22-24000 range for a 07 Silverado (with the new 100k warranty).   Happy Hunting --jjf   Does $24,000 with $26000 OTD sound like a good price on a left over 2006 Canyon SLT 4x4 with an MSRP of about $32,000?

#21 of 46 Colorado Options by bobad Dec 02, 2007 (7:42 am)
The Colorado is the only midsize truck I can find with a powerful 4cyl, double cab, and automatic. Anyone recently get one in that trim, and what did you pay?   Ford, Nissan, and Toyota don't seem to want business, so why is this forum so dead?

Replying to: bobad (Dec 02, 2007 7:42 am) See if you can work 10000 off msrp for a 07 Dodge Dakota 4x4 v6, (19000 range with lifetime powertrain warranty) or a nissan frontier 4x4 crew 21000-22000 range. A tacoma will cost you at least 23000-24000. The colorado interior an build quality are miserable and you should at least test drive the others to prove it. It would be less for a 2wd.   The Colorado is the only midsize truck I can find with a powerful 4cyl, double cab, and automatic.
