Today I purchased a 2006 Tahoe LT,demo with 5600 miles with moon roof, dvd player, autoride, adjustable pedals, wheel flares, side air bags, locking differential, that had a MSRP of $49120.00. My out the door price with tax and lic was $34,594.00. I started looking at the 2007 but with the deals on the 2006 I can drive it for a couple of years and then switch over to the new model.

Yes, these vehicles do come with the wireless headset and remote. From the factory they are in the 3rd row set storage compartments above the rear wheels. If you need replacement look here. You have system 2

Wireless Headphones and Remote Controls
 Because the wireless headphones and remote controls for GM DVD RSE (Rear Seat Entertainment) and RSA (Rear Seat Audio) systems are loose items, it’s possible for them to become separated from the vehicle they’re intended for, before the vehicle is delivered to the customer. In many cases, these items are not interchangeable among vehicles. If the wrong components are provided to the customer, dissatisfaction will result.
 
For example, a Chevrolet dealership will have three different remote controls and they are not compatible (Malibu Maxx, TrailBlazer, and Uplander). However, the headphones are compatible with all GM DVD systems except the minivans, which require a 2-channel wireless headphone. If the 2-channel headphones are used in the wrong vehicle, channel 2 (RSA) will not be audible, but channel 1 (DVD) will be audible.
 
To help keep these components straight, here’s some information about the systems in use.
 
System 1a -- DVD RSE
The following headphone kit (p/n 15140532) is released for the 2005-07 Malibu Maxx only (fig. 1). The remote control will not work with any other GM vehicles.
 
15140532 (Visteon) Headphone Package (DVD RSE)

2 - AA
22727857 1 Instruction - Video Disc Player Operation
15140533 1 Instruction - Video Disc Player
 
System 1b -- RSA without DVD RSE
TIP: The Malibu Maxx is the only current GM vehicle that offers an RSA system with wireless headphones. The other GM vehicles have RSA systems which use wired headphones (which are not provided to the customer).
 
The following headphone kit (p/n 10396845) is released for the 2005-07 Malibu Maxx with RSA option (UK6)..
 
10396845 (Visteon) Headphone Package (DVD RSA)

- Buick Terraza
- Chevrolet Uplander
- Pontiac Montana SV6
- Saturn Relay
 
TIP: The remote control will work only in these GM vehicles. Channel 2 of the wireless headphones will work only in these vehicles (Channel allows you to listen to DVD and Channel 2 allows you to listen to RSA).
 
There are two DVD systems available:
- A base system U56 comes with a remote control kit only (no headphones available).
- An uplevel system U42 comes with a remote control kit and a headphone kit (fig. 3).
 
TIP: Headphone kit TX3 can be added to either system.
 
TIP: Batteries are not included.
 
15136091 (Hosiden) Headphones Only Package (DVD RSE)
part number quantity item
15185391 2 Headphone Assembly
(Dual Channel Wireless)

TIP: If a kit is misplaced or was not shipped with the vehicle, follow established procedures for misplaced/missing components. The service part numbers for the kits are the same as the OEM part numbers.

2007 Tahoe Question about Fees by greg33
Mar 13, 2006 (12:01 pm)

For anybody that has bought a new 2007 Tahoe, based on your experience, have you found the dealers firm on the Advertising Fee and Dealer Prep? I'm looking at invoice price for ordering a new 2007 Tahoe with the LT3 package and around another 2K in other options, but the 2 dealers I worked on a deal with so far wouldn't budge on the $813 Ad Fee and the $499 dealer prep.
 
That adds $1312.00 to the invoice! This doesn't even account for the factory holdback I'm sure the dealer is getting on this vehicle!
 
As I said, I've only delt with 2 dealers so far, but have been a little surprised by how adamant they were about refusing to negotiate these fees!
 
I'm going to be faxing offers to another 2 or 3 dealers tomorrow and hope the response is better.
 
Anybody else had the same or similar issues trying to work a deal?

'07 Tahoes have just hit the dealerships. I would imagine that for a little while, at least, these are going to be "hot" vehicles for those shopping in that market segment, since it's a total redesign (and from most reports, a very good redesign).
 
I suppose the dealership can call the fees anything they want. The Ad fee is legit, although their's sounds a bit high. $499 prep fee is pure profit. GM already compensates the dealerships to prep new vehicles.
 
So, I think you're into a bit of semantics with the dealership. Your hot button seems to be "buy at invoice". Dealership knows these are relatively hot vehicles and will sell for more than that. Plus, there are no rebates from GM on these. Sounds like they are willing to sell you the Tahoe at $13K+ over invoice, no matter what they call it. You certainly aren't going to get into any of the holdback since they are a new design with no factory money as incentives.
 
I'd go in offering an "out the door" price (that is, purchase price + taxes + fees + title & license). I'd shoot for $500-$1,000 over invoice + TTL and see who bites.

I just ordered a new Tahoe LT3 with options adding another 1,200. My MSRP was 43,390. MY invoice was 39,364. Their invoice was 40,114. Which included the advertising and stuff. I got it for 38,872. Add tax, fees and registration and my trade, I got it for 39,800 out the door.

The tahoe I am interested in purchasing has an MSRP of 43,450. What would be an appropriate first offer price , and what would be a reasonable target price. The edmunds invoice price is 39,235. both of those prices include an 875 destination charge.
thanks

His first offer to me was 40,900 and I said that was a little higher than I wanted. My bottom line price, which I didn't think I was going to get, was 40,000. He came back after and offered me 39,800. He came back fast so I think I probably could've done even better. I would definitely not pay more than the invoice you have listed. 39,000 would be good, but you may be able to get 38,000 even. You could start at 38,000 or even 37,500 and work up from there. Once he crosses 39,000, say thanks and go to another dealer.

2006 new tahoe by shm64

Getting ready to make an offer on a brand new loaded 2006 Tahoe. MSRP is $50,080. Dealer is at $38,900 before any discussion/haggling. Would 36k out the door be a fair offer? I am trading in a 2000 Windstar. I thought about saying $30-$31 k with the Windstar? Another dealer offered me $5600 for the Windstar. How do the offers sound? Should I negotiate car price first, then trade separately? Or bottom line price?
Any advice is appreciated.
