First off just wanted to thanks to all the members on this forum! I was a lurker for about 2 weeks before I bought my first GMC Sierra! I was not looking to purchase a new truck but after reading all the positive reviews of the Vortec 6.2L I bit the bullet. :)

 

Just wanted to get opinions of my purchase, be honest! Love the truck so far!

 

2010 Sierra 1500 SLE Crew Cab 4x4 w/ 6.2L Vortec Max Trailering package, Leather, Convenience and Preferred Package.

 

MRSP: $42,000 - $7000 (customer cash, USAA rebate, GMAC financing rebate) - $2750 (haggling)

 

Paid-32,500 including TTL (No tax for Alaska residents) + $1500 extended bumper to bumper warranty (5yr/100K)

 

TOTAL-$34,000-OUT THE DOOR

All that matters is if your happy/comfortable with the deal you got.

i'd say its a fair price. With rebates and discounts, about $8000-10,000 of "sticker" seems to be what GM is doing. My 2010 Silverado Ext Cab LTZ 4x4 was $42,900 on the sticker and I got it down to $33,000 or so before tax 4 months ago.

I'd say that's a pretty good price. I got around $9000 off sticker out the door for my '10 Sierra SLE.

Good price man, but dump the warranty and get your money back. If you really feel the need to get an extended warranty fine, just do it when you factory one is about to run out there is no need to have 2 warranties at the same time. Oh and we need pictures:)

yeah i wouldn`t worry about that deal. i still don`t understand why the same truck in the US msrp`s for almost 8k less than canadian to begin with. exchange rate isn`t that different. You`ll be happy. you must have the 3.73 ratio aswell with that tow package?

 

drive the truck to 40mph, let of the gas then punch it, that will put a smile on any mans face. :P

 

this `10 truck is faster than my 98 ECSB and it has 400hp and 600ft/lbs torque!

Thanks again for the feedback. Overall I felt pretty good about the deal EXCEPT for the extended warranty. I will be getting my money back on Monday! Pics to come!

Sounds like a good price to me. I got the college graduate discount ("Supplier Price" = a couple hundred under invoice) plus all the incentives you had (except the GMAC financing), and was only about $8200 under MSRP. I got the Silverado LT though, so not quite as many options to haggle down.

Good luck with that. Hopefully your dealer is more on the level than mine. I came in 4 separate times to cancel my warranty asking each time if I could get something in writing that acknowledged they received my request. Each time they said don't worry about it, we'll call first thing tomorrow and your bank will have the refund in 2 weeks. I kept calling GMAC and they had no knowledge of my cancellation request. So eventually I had GMAC mail me the paperwork, and I had someone at the dealership who didn't know me (and thus didn't know to give me the run around) sign off on the mileage, so I could fax in the cancellation myself. Not a very comforting feeling when as soon as you sign on the dotted line, they no longer care about you.

Nice truck, post some pics!

 

 

As for all the bitching about warranties, all he needs is one major thing to go wrong and it pays for itself. 1500 isn't bad for peace of mind.

Seems like a good price. A good price is one that you are comfortable with. I too got the extended GM warranty because of resale. It was peace of mind for 5 years and if I sell it before then it adds resale value. One thing now is with GM's powertrain warranty to 100 000 miles the extended warranty is kinda redundant. My brother in law burned up the rear end bearings in his 07 and GM picked up the $1100 bill.

      Can anyone decode a VIN to determine if this truck has had emissions issues or a recall?

      By cherryred21duramax · Posted

      Thanks @newdude, guess I'll keep looking.  Test driving so many trucks that have obvious things broken, I'm thinking "if they couldn't even be bothered to fix the power seat," what else is broken".   Just drove a 2021 where the power seat motor was grinding/binding and wouldn't do anything but make a terrible sound.   An owner that puts dents on the bumper, doesn't fix a seat motor, and had spotty service intervals (along with missing major services) doesn't give me the best of confidence.   Amazed at the number of people that will finance a $60k+ truck, run it into the ground, then trade with a loan balance (every single one had "loan/lien reported" on the CARFAX at the last year of registration).

      Not true! I have been runing them since 2006 F250! suspension component that works as a sway bar, a traction bar, and a helper spring points directly to the RoadActive Suspension (RAS) kit. Works as a sway bar, a traction bar, and a helper spring.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Here's a starter kit:    CC Jensen, a Danish oil testing Concern gives us the following guidelines:   ISO 14/12/10 Very Clean Oil ISO 16/14/11 Clean Oil ISO 17/15/12 Lightly Contaminated ISO 19/17/14 New Oil ISO 22/20/17 Very Contaminated and not suitable for any service.   In addition CC Jensen gives a table showing how engine life is increased by cleaning up the oil. For example cleaning the oil from 19/17/14 to 13/11/8 will extend motor life by a factor of 6X.   But even cleaning it two “Life Extension Classes” will double motor life. So perhaps giving those classes would be useful:   21/19/16 20/18/15 19/17/14 18/16/13 17/15/12 16/14/11 15/13/10 14/12/9 13/11/8   *************************************   https://testoil.com/program-management/setting-iso-cleanliness-targets/   Third paragraph from the bottom will give a starting point.    Your next question should be, okay 10um at what Beta ratio and the answer is in the graph Beta 75.   Then the next question is what is your chosen filters profile? (Purolator PL series below) The red dot is Beta 75. This was the information I obtained from MANN a few years ago. So the best filters, Purolator One, AMSOIL EA, FRAM Ultra, Royal Purple, Bosch Premium should get a doubling engine life over filters like Purolator L, any service filter from any quick lube, WIX, NAPA, STP, Mobil 1, Purolator BOSS.    And as noted by CC Jensen a 2-5 micron @ Beta 200 bypass system has the capability of a six fold improvement. AMSOIL has such a system as does Donaldson.       Now having said all that testing is the touchstone. Test the oil NEW and test it with your chosen filter. Then test over milage. Do the work, get the result. But understand this in NOT absolute BECAUSE this is one factor in isolation.   Example:    A valve spring supplier can state that with cam X and a valve train of Y grams the valves will not float to 7K rpm. is that true if the builder choose a system 20 grams over limit? Common sense must be used and limits understood.

      This doesn't look like a GM truck. Not needed on a HD truck

      It varies a ton around me. Some places are still at $5.00 or higher and others are way down into the $4's.   Offroad diesel was $4.02 at the one station I passed today.
