#2769 of 3122 2007 LT1 dealer demo w/6K miles, good price? by zoesam Sep 20, 2007 (6:01 pm)
It also has 6 cd changer, 4WD, rear park assist & adjustable pedals. MSRP 41,324, asking price on the window 34K. I believe this to be an "aged" vehicle, is there any way to know for sure? How do I know if the 34K window price includes the 2K current rebate & the 3K aged rebate?    This is a dealer demo, supposedly driven by a manager back & forth to work. It's never been titled. So if it's been in an accident, I'm guessing no one would have had to report that, right? Anyway to be sure it's not been in an accident?    And lastly, what do you think is a reasonable price for this? I don't know how to figure out the invoice price. If I ask the dealer, they'll probably just show me a fake invoice. I'm guessing they keep those on file for just that purpose. Plus there's holdbacks & incentives to consider for the dealer. I see this as essentially a used 1 year old vehicle w/6000m. I'm thinking $28-29K. Thoughts? It's only an LT1, so it doesn't have a ton of bells & whistles, but that's cool w/me.

Replying to: zoesam (Sep 20, 2007 6:01 pm) The way I view these things, is what happens if I buy it and drive it off the lot, and on the way home it gets totalled. From an insurance perspective, its a used 2007 with 6K miles. Or if you bought it and then wanted to trade it in somewhere else....it's a used 2007 w/6K miles. From a warranty perspective, I believe your clock started a while ago (although you would need to get the dealer to prove to you that it didn't, if that was the case).   For a comparitive reference point, I just bought a new 2007 Suburban LTZ two weeks ago. -> 49,390 MSRP -> 45,202 Discounted vehicle to -> -8,117 Tradein, which is "overallocated" by at least 2K. I had my trade valued independantly at CarMax and other dealers, and NADA. Carmax was at 3500, other dealers offered 4000 and 5000. This dealership had offered 6000 to do the deal, and then after negotiations raised it up to over 8K. No way my vehicle was worth 8K, so the overallocation of additional discount is at least 2-3K. -> 37,084 Net Taxable -> 1,112 Tax -> 55 Tag -> 248 Admin/Dealer Doc -> 38,500 Total Due -> -2,000 2007 vehicle rebate (to dealer) -> -3,000 Mfg date prior 2/15/07 rebate (to dealer) -> 33,500 Net Due at closing   So on a new 49,390 vehicle, they discounted it by 11-12K (4188 + 2000or3000 + 5000) = 22+% off   Your deal for a used vehicle with MSRP 41,324 is 34000 or 7324 off = 18%   I was at a different dealership which had offered 11K off of a 48K MSRP vehicle (no trade involved, but included the 5K rebates), but I didn't like the color/options of that vehicle.   I'm inclined to think you could do much better with a new 2007 vehicle. I'm assuming the 5K rebates are available on Tahoe's also. Since your trim level is simpler, the 5K rebate on a lesser MSRP vehicle is a larger %.

Replying to: kiawah (Sep 20, 2007 7:06 pm) Thank you kiawah, excellent points to consider! Warranty was mfr "remaining" warranty, so I think ur right that the clock started already. I left quickly, I didn't want to seem too eager, but this particular option set is exactly what I want & it's been proving difficult to find. Still your experience makes it sound like I can do better & another dealer was asking 33K for an aged out, truly new Suburban a month ago. Unfortunately the Sub won't fit in my garage   The Tahoe is eligible for the std 2K rebate & for the aged 3K vehicle rebate, I'm just not sure how to tell for sure if this is aged or not?   Thanks Again!

Replying to: zoesam (Sep 20, 2007 8:47 pm) You can tell the manufacturing date, by looking at the sticker on the front drivers door, in the upper right hand corner.   As I understand the 'aged' rebate, it is for any vehicle made prior to 2/15/07. So if the sticker says 1/07 or before and it's a new vehicle, it would qualify. If it's mfg 3/07 or later, it would not. If it's 2/07 the dealer would have to tell you. It comes up on their system when they put in the VIN number, it will tell them which rebates it qualifies for.   So indiscretely you can look at the door jamb, but the dealer will tell you for sure and I wouldn't be hesitant at all to ask. They know which of their vehicles qualify....I was at one dealership where as we walked down the line he said this one, this one, not this one, etc. Replies to this message: zoesam (Sep 25, 2007 11:13 pm)

Replying to: kiawah (Sep 21, 2007 8:19 am) Thank you so much kiawah! I will look for it. It's not that I'm hesitant to ask, but this sales rep was so new, he didn't even know his competing dealers name when I mentioned it. I would get a better sales rep, but w/the razor thin commission he's gonna get, it's not to my advantage to have him split it w/a more knowledgable sales rep. Arrrghh. I shouldn't have to be thinking about the sales reps' incentives.

Replying to: shawnhackett (Aug 28, 2007 4:51 am) Hi Shawn, I have the same vehicle, and I am now hearing that cricket noise. I noticed that I could alter the sound by turning the steering wheel, had a feeling it was associated with the steering mechanism, I am going to take mine in today...Thanks.
