#31 of 192 Suburban pricing in Boston Area by betzjb May 06, 2005 (4:59 am)
We currently have a 2wd 94 suburban with 190K on it. Runs great, but might be time to move on to a newer one. We are in the 2WD category(Just can't justify the additional cost of 4wd). A local dealer has been advertising 4wd 05s for 30K, so we went to look at a couple of their 2WDs. Not much to choose from, two with LS packages, and they started out with an offer of 33K(36K sticker). Not impressed, or interested in making a deal, anyway. They came back with a price of 30K, but it was hard to convince them that we were just looking, at this point(wife still wants to try a Pilot and Highlander). In looking at the chevy.com search for vehicles, I see that Florida is loaded with 2WDs. We'll be down there in mid June, and I am wondering if there is a possibility of a better deal down there. With the experiences of the previous posts, along with the significant number of vehicles on the lots, and the upcoming redesign(06?), I can't envision paying any more that 26K. Otherwise, we watch the old one roll to 200K.
#32 of 192 "You pay what we pay" prices on Suburbans by randal1 Jun 23, 2005 (9:20 pm)
Does anyone know if dealers are negotiating to prices below the "You pay what we pay" employee price. We're looking at a 2005 Suburban LT with the premium option package and the sun and sound entertainment system. The MSRP is $50,400 and the "You pay what we pay" price is $39,800. I'm wondering if they'll go below $39,800.   Randy Replies to this message: mastro (Jun 24, 2005 3:04 pm) randal1 (Jun 25, 2005 9:05 pm) mastro (Jun 30, 2005 5:31 am)

Replying to: randal1 (Jun 23, 2005 9:20 pm) Hi Randy. I'm in the same boat. I've got an '04 LT with all the bells and whistles and we already have put 40,000 miles on it. I started fishing around the dealership we got the truck at for their best deal with a trade. They said the employee deal was super but I told them that if every GM make and model has that deal, then they need to do better with the gas guzzling Suburban...esp. since a revitalized Suburban is due out soon. A friend in the auto parts business said he is hearing that GM is being very aggressive in moving up the new Suburban launch. He says we'll see the new '07 Suburban in early '06. So, I would definitely push hard for a better deal. I would go for below $35,000. Good luck. Replies to this message: randal1 (Jun 25, 2005 9:05 pm) mastro (Jun 30, 2005 5:31 am)

Replying to: mastro (Jun 24, 2005 3:04 pm) We couldn't get them down to $35k, but we're happy with the deal. They ended up adding second row bucket seats (a $490 dollar option), some pinstriping, 2 additional headphones, and $1000 dollars. So we ended up with a vehicle with a MSRP of $50,910 for $38,500. A great vehicle for what seems like a very reasonable price. Thanks for your help and good luck on your purchase.   Randy Replies to this message: mastro (Jun 30, 2005 5:31 am)

Replying to: randal1 (Jun 25, 2005 9:05 pm) Good for you Randy. It sounds like you got a great deal. We're heading out on summer vacation in a few weeks and driving out to SC. So I figured I'd put a couple of thousand more miles and hope the great deals hold out through the summer.   Enjoy the Suburban, they're great vehicles.
#36 of 192 A good deal? by rstamp Jul 14, 2005 (1:02 pm)
I am looking at a '05 Suburban with 8000 miles. It's the LT package, loaded with everything (2nd row bucket seats, rear entertainment, nav. system, sunroof, etc.) The sales rep. says it lists (MSRP) new for $53000; he's priced it at $38000 with all the current incentives and "family price plan". Any thoughts on whether this is a good deal? I currently have a '03 Odyssey (which has been great) but could use some extra room and towing capacity. I haven't really looked at the Suburbans much so am trying to feel my way around here. I read that the '07s will be revamped so could that be a bargaining chip? Thanks for any input.

Replying to: rstamp (Jul 14, 2005 1:02 pm) You may want to check on Edmunds to see what the true mkt value is for the vehicle.   I'm probably stating the obvious, but Hondas are traditionally trouble-free. Suburbans are not. I have owned/leased 3 of them as I have 6 kids and need the space. I really enjoy the truck (roomy and comfortable ride), but I believe that the vehicle will require a lot of maintenance after the 36k warranty expires. My first one needed 2 transmission rebuilds within 20k mile both after the warranty period expired. The 2nd one, no problems but I got rid of it after 24k miles and leased the 3rd one. I plan on getting rid of this one when the lease expires and lease another one. I just wanted to let you know what you are getting into.   Go8

Mine: Bought new in July 2003 MSRP = $47,592 (does not include $815 Destination Charge) Discount = $9,561 (20%) Price = $38,031 (does not include $815 Destination Charge)   Based on what I paid back in 2003 and what I've read about prices in this forum, a 20-21% discount is a reasonable expectation.   And, remember to compare apples to apples. To determine your best deal, use MSRP discounted by a percentage. Do not include in MSRP items such as destination charge (differs based on where you take delivery), price you're offered for your trade-in (too variable), dealer add-ons (lots of mark-up here)and tax, title, license, processing fees,etc, etc. Instead... 1) Apply a percentage off the MSRP (excluding the above items) 2) Now, add in the other charges above to calculate your "out the door" cost.   And, never, never negotitate using monthly payments!!! Instead... a) Calculate your "out the door" price b) Determine your trade-in value c) Subtract b from a then 1) Negotitate an APR for your note(after you've checked other finanacial institutions for their rates--dealers know what they are, so don't make one up). 2) Determine the length of time your want to repay the note and what day of the month you want to pay--this will ultimately determine your monthly payment.
