I work as a Tech at a GM store in Wisconsin. New car Manager proposed a deal TO ME yesterday...I didn't ask for a deal :smash: !!

 

"You would do ok on this one...it qualifies for a bunch of rebates........." is what I was told.

 

So, I looked into the numbers.

 

I want to ask you guys on here WHO HAVE BOUGHT 09's.....opinions??

ok...there is the truck.

 

Here's a number crunch.

 

$35,810 MSRP

 

$32,190 GM Employee Price

 

$-4000 National rebate, -2000 old invoice rebate, -500 "no-return" rebate

 

$25,690 plus ttl

 

Seems a bit too high for me...opinions??

I'd say thats a pretty good deal, and yeah prices are going up around here too. All that is left for 09 is base model / work truck trim or odd configurations. If its something you like, I doubt the price is going to get much better. I'd go for it if I was in that situation!

 

I know when we bought the wife's 09 Vibe a few weeks back we dealt with the same salesman that I used to buy my Sierra, and he said they have lots of ppl looking for 09s because of the rebates, but no trucks to sell them.

EDIT....a new possibility has come to light

 

Just got off the phone with the Manager...

 

Pontiac rebates are HUGE right now, and our store has a left-over 09 Solstice, Ragtop, 5 speed, Black

 

MSRP is $25,000

 

My price is $16,454 as of right now.

 

Spending $16xxx is alot easier to swallow than spending $26xxx

 

And yes, a Solstice is a complete turnaround from a Sierra 4x4. And yes, Pontiac is 100% finished.

 

I'll have to sleep on it. I don't know right now...I may do nothing at all.

 

My Manager is like me; we are always on the hunt for "deals;" new or used.

I thought you wanted a truck?????????

 

Do you want anything at all...if you dont want something just dont buy anything....

 

You know what cost less than both of those...nothing....nothing is free. I certainly wouldn't be buying a car or truck just cause it was a good deal. Unless I planned to sell it again and make some money on it.

I just bought my truck last week. 09 Sierra 1500 SL Crew Cab - stickered at $32,110. I drove it home for just under $23k with a spray in bedliner included!

I would take that deal, the economy is slowly picking up and it could be hard to find a deal that good later....

      AFM Disabler Question

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I’m doing an experiment on a vehicle I don’t have much money in. I’m going by the premise that after they last 100K miles they were no mechanical problems with assembly. Or defects with the parts. With oil changes by the minder for the first 127K miles when I acquired it. I quickly went through low mileage oil changes then settled on 5k oil changes with close to 170K miles on the vehicle currently. I did have the option to turn off the cylinder deactivation. I didn’t on this vehicle because it’s in ECONOMY mode at least half the time. It should be a no brainer frequent oil changes are the key. The manufacturer gets away with the long oil changes with its severe service  maintenance. Just ask them what is normal.

      Hot air constantly blowing through floor vents, drivers side only?

      By baglie1 · Posted

      Even set to "recirculated", the air pushes out and is hot. I have noticed that sometime it doesn't want to switch between recirculated/vented air. Say it is set to Circulated Air and I want to switch to Vented, when I click the Vented button, it just quickly lights up/clicks and immediatly switches back to Circulated. It's done this a few times now. So maybe it is an actuator getting stuck? But then, that doesn't explain the hot air when everything is off does it?

      Gas Prices

      I wonder what the price is out at the coast, Big Sur or other out of the way locations as I bet they are charging quite a premium over the in land pumps.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Were you looking at the HD trucks on the GM website or the half tons as that makes all the difference. As far as I know there are only two options for the HD trucks and that is the standard 2 speed transfer case or the 2 speed transfer case that has the added 4 high auto feature and they put that transfer case by default into the LTZ and High Country although its optional in the LT and not sure if its available in the work trucks.    The half tons, that is where its been a total mess in my estimation for a few years now with most trucks below the top trim having the single speed transfer case as standard but with the option of having the two speed such as one would get by choosing the Z71 package, however then not being able to get the two speed transfer case with the towing package unless it was a higher trim truck AND had the 6.2 gas so one could combine the towing package gearing diffs with the two speed transfer case. Having said that if its a trail boss package then it gets the two speed transfer case but not necessarily able to get the tow package as it would depend on trim level and engine chosen. Believe me, people have bought the GM half tons assuming "of course it will have a two speed transfer case" only to find out after when they really pay attention to what they now own .... crap, there is NO low range !.    I don't believe Ford or Ram have gone that way yet with their half tons but like I say its been a few years now that GM has done this with the half tons.
