Thanks for your reply. So this is a fee the dealership must pay to GM and therefore is non-negotiable?

According to my dealer, that fee goes to the "Regional Marketing Group" which pays for the advertisements, etc. They do not charge GM Family members with this fee, so you may be able to negotiate on it.

I flat out told the dealer I wouldn't pay it, he said he couldn't "waive" the fee but gave me 500 more on my trade.
Press them, they will work with you, if not go somewhere else.

Does anyone know when Chevy is supposed to begin production on their 08 3/4 tons. About two months ago I ordered an 07, but dealer called two weeks ago and said that I ordered too late for an 07, that I was going to get an 08 for the same price (we'll see). As salesmen are usually kept out of the loop, and tend to keep info that they do know close to the vest, I wanted to know if anyone knows any specifics.
 
Thanks

I placed an order for a 2007 Silverado 1500 Crew LTZ on 17 June. The dealer notified me that the truck will be a 2008 model. I have a 23 July build date, with an approximate delivery date of 5 August. I am told that any incentives available for the 07 will be applied for the 08. I do not have any indication that the price will be the same, or increase by 1-3%. Based on todays article in the Wall Street Journal GM will continue with incentives as truck sales were down 21% in June. I'll keep you posted.

I talked to the dealer yesterday, and have an identical build date. The salesman told me that the price would be the same, but we'll have to see. I'd appreciate it if you could let me know if they change the price on your half-ton, and I'll keep you posted on price differences in my 3/4.

I'll keep you posted on the any price increase I receive. I will know as soon as I receive a VIN #...it should be late next week, or early the following week.

I just talked to the dealer today. I have the invoice in hand. The good news is that the invoice price actually dropped a little (about $100) from what they quoted me in May for an 07 vs. the 08 I'm getting. The bad news is that they're not honoring 07 rebates for the 08's. Instead of the new $2500 rebate, the 08's have a $500 rebate. The rebate was only $1000 at the time that I ordered the pickup, so I'm only spending $400 more than I originally anticipated, but it's still pretty shady to pay an extra 2k for one different digit on the vin sticker. As far as I know the 07 second generation and 08's are identical trucks. Oh well it's still about $3500 less than a comparable F-250

That is consistent with what I learned from my dealer. For the privilege of owning an 08 - I will not receive the 0% financing for the 07's which is worth at least $3500 to me.
 
However, I will get a $500 rebate just as you outlined. The dealer told me there is a chance that GM will increase the rebate on 08's due to the lackluster sales as early as 15 August. Perhaps he is trying to make me feel better!
 
Contrary to your F250 comparison, my truck is higher priced (about 1.5K) than the F150, which is carrying a larger rebate and 0% financing to boot.
 
In any event, I have no complaints, as I am getting precisely the truck I ordered, and will keep it long enough to justify the expense.
