asylum - Thanks for the reply. I don't think the $120 difference in invoice prices is due to advertising fees. The dealer is getting the truck from another dealership. Evidently, it costs them $120 to make a trade (I assume this is to entice the other dealer to make the trade and to cover transportation costs). According to GM, only 20% of the Silverado inventory qualifies for the extra $2000 rebate and the dealer claims that the truck is coming from another dealership that is far away. I tend to believe this because I had trouble finding a truck with the options my parents wanted that qualified for the extra rebate and I checked with every dealership in a 30 mile radius (around 20). I guess I look at it as paying an extra $120 to get a $2000 rebate and a truck that is the right color and has the right options.
 
Thanks for the tip though. We are going to finalize everything on Sunday. I'll be sure to check the itemized list for "advertising fees" and object to paying them if they are on there.
 
As for the extended warranty, it is something my parents want. They are in their 70s and think the extra cost is worth it. I've tried to talk them out of it, but I think they value the peace of mind it provides. Ultimately, it is their decision because they are the ones who will own the vehicle. Since the decision has already been made, my role is simply to get them the best warranty I can for the best price.

SLT e-quote from two dealers by slt09

Okay I did the TMV for a 09 SLT with ext: carbon metalic + $79, Z71 +$228 Total $39,583 - 4,000 Rebate = $35,583.
I sent this to dealers and one came back with $40,838, one with $41,375 otd, the others just want to call & get info. I live in South Ga. Driving chevy for 19years. These guys aren't close to TMV for my region and surely not $10k less otd after taxes like I read on other post.
Question, aren't they suppose to add taxes after deducting rebates & incentives?? My quotes have rebates deducted after taxes figured on MSRP. That adds approx $500 more to their profit/ my cost.
One more, I'm suppose to get gm supplier discount through my company. I haven't seen any mention of this in my quotes after requesting.

SLT09,
  You pay taxes before rebates and incentives. The only thing you don't pay tax on is the value of trade in, if you have one. If you don't have a trade, you pay tax on the selling price.

Final Update:
 
I ended up making the following deal at Crest Chevrolet in San Bernardino, California -
 
2009 Silverado LT (2wd Crew Cab)
Color - Victory Red
Options - Interior Plus, Exterior Plus, Power Pack Plus
 
MSRP - $34,870
 
Invoice - $32,882.03 (slightly differs from Edmunds but I saw an itemized list and it looked completely legit; no advertising fees or anything like that)
 
Price before rebates - $32,482.03
 
Price after Tax/License/Registration/etc. - $36037.77
 
Rebates - $6500
 
Out the door - 29,537.77
 
My parents wanted an extended warranty (this truck is theirs), so I ended up negotiating for 84mo/84k Major Guard with a $100 deductible for $1180. They also had a trade in Credit of $5987.28. So the final price for everything was $24,730.49.
 
Financed through Pentagon Federal Credit Union for 60 mo. at 3.99%.
 
Overall, I'm pretty happy with the deal I made for them. I probably could have gotten a little more for the trade, but the dealer did beat Carmax's offer by $2200.
 
Anyway, I hope this info helps someone.
