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.

Replying to: motoworf (Jan 13, 2006 8:03 am) Is it possible to get the $8000 rebates AND the 0% Apr? Just curious if that is a bargaining chip I can present as a counter offer on this vehicle. Thanks |

Have found some deals on base models 06 Suburbans. Since a lot of the leather ones are too tricked out for our budget, has anyone added leather to a cloth model? I was quoted $1,500 and a lifetime warranty for their after market guy vs. three years for factory leather. Sales guy also said the factory has their leather so tight that it wears quicker than after market. Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks.

Replying to: oniscus (May 30, 2006 11:56 pm) Today, I was "offered' full list, no discount, take-it-or-leave-it. Cash, no trade. All the options you listed, in an LTZ for $53,790. I left it. Here's why, and it was a tough call. Who at GM came up with the new second-row seats that flip up to block 50% of the doorway on each side? That means anything large (cargo, that is...not fat person) HAS to be loaded from the rear gate, rather than through the side doors. I guess GM is trying to cater more to the passenger use rather than as a cargo carrier. My 2004 Z71 Suburban has a flat cargo area from the liftgate to the front seats. Remove the 3rd seat, fold the second row bench down. Very sweet. Room for two 8' kayaks piggyback INSIDE and loads of gear.  Bottom line: I was totally bummed to have to pass the '07 up, even at full list. IMHO, at that price there is no need to give up so much utility space in exchange for all the great goodies GM has packed into the new model. Why not have both? The salesperson said, "Take out the 2nd and 3rd row seats completely." And then what? Furnish the kids' rooms with them?? Stuff the dangling heater wires and flipper wires under the carpet?? I'm hoping the 2008 goes back to fold-flat-and-away second row seats, but I'm not holding my breath. Looks like the Suburban has shed its traditional dual role of utility AND passenger vehicle.
