Question Regarding Price

I'm looking to order a new Silverado. The dealer is offering to sell at Invoice. I know that's not their cost.

 

I'm not looking to try and screw them. I'm fine with them making a profit. My question is, is that a fair price for me, or should I try for better?

 

Also, right now GM has 3k in rebates, but that doesn't matter if I take delivery 8 weeks from now and the offer is off the table, right? Does anybody have any experience with this? Is there any reason to assume that there will be a rebate program still when I pick up my new truck?

 

Thanks in advance.

The only rebate available would be whatever is in place when you purchase the truck. If it goes up you would benefit, if it went down you would lose out.

 

I lucked out with my Tahoe that came in on the 27th, I took delivery on Feb 28th 2008 and that was the last day for the current rebate. It ended up going down $1000 the next day.

Well I'm sure a lot of guys will disagree with me on this,but.......I think if you buy it at invoice plus rebates your doing pretty good,Dealers are not making as much as they use to,Plus starting the beginning of the year GM did away with the employee,or "GMS" pricing.

I'll give you an example using my '07 first...The MSRP on it was $39,030.00 The dealer invoice was $35,908.83

Now on a new '10 that I pulled up with a similar MSRP...The MSRP is $39,329.00 The dealer invoice is $36,917.69

So you see theres almost a $1k difference from what the dealer would of made in '07 compared to today (IE-He's making $1k less)

 

As far as what the rebates will be in 8 weeks.... :lol: I never worried about that myself,I was always more worried about getting the truck "I" wanted,with the options "I" wanted.....I can tell you though that when we ordered my '07 the rebates were $2,250.00,but when it came in two months later they were $3,000.00,so I made out on that a little.

 

And I'm glad you don't have an issue with the dealer making a little bit of money,If the dealer don't make anything they'd be out of business!!

I love guys who think they should get a vehicle at the dealers "actual" cost...or think the dealer should "throw in" a bedliner or splash guards "after" they make the deal :mad:

Sweet. Thanks for the very good, quick replies.

 

MSRP on the truck I want is $41,460 - Invoice is $38,941. That doesn't seem too bad if you ask me, but I wanted a couple of extra opinions. I'm pretty sure I'm going to pull the trigger on this bad boy this week. I'm excited.

 

My current rig is an '07 NBS Ext cab LT 2wd w/ the 5.3.

 

New rig (hopefully) should be a 2010 Crew LT 4x4 Z71 w/ 6.2 :lol:

 

The dealer said these typically take 6-8 weeks for delivery. Does that seem about right?

 

Thanks again.

quick question for you was the 6.2 an $1950 msrp option for you?

 

My truck (similar) had an msrp of $44334, the supplier price was 41494.29

 

I paid around $39 plus tax minus $1500 rebates

Ryan,

 

Yes, the 6.2 is $1950 MSRP on the build sheet they gave me.

 

Now ask Ryan what he "ended-up paying" for the 6.2 :lol:

      Fred was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred young pullets, and ten roosters to fertilize the eggs He kept records, and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was replaced. This took a lot of time, so he bought some tiny bells and attached them to his roosters. Each bell had a different tone, so he could tell from a distance, which rooster was performing. Now, he could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells. Fred's favourite rooster, old Butch, was a very fine specimen, but this morning he noticed old Butch's bell hadn't rung at all! When he went to investigate, he saw the other roosters were busy chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing, but the pullets, hearing the roosters coming, would run for cover. To Fred's amazement, old Butch had his bell in his beak, so it couldn't ring. He'd sneak up on a pullet, do his job and walk on to the next one. Fred was so proud of old Butch, he entered him in the City Show and he became an overnight sensation among the judges. The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the "No Bell Piece Prize," but they also awarded him the "Pulletsurprise" as well. Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making. Who else but a politician could figure out how to win two of the most coveted awards on our planet by being the best at sneaking up on the unsuspecting populace and screwing them when they weren't paying attention. Vote carefully in the next election, you can't always hear the bells.

      High Country Suburban build confirmation

      By 3CarSeatDad · Posted

      Can someone confirm if the GM order workbench terminal is able to validate a custom build sequence:   1) Initialize the Allocation Base: Open a new vehicle build queue, select the 2026 Chevrolet Suburban 4WD, and pick the High Country (3LZ Preferred Equipment Group).   2) Select the Diesel Powertrain: Go directly to the engine configuration screen and choose RPO code LZ0 (3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel). Ensure it maps to the MHS 10-speed automatic transmission.   3) Deploy the Seating Swap: Navigate to the Interior Options screen and enter RPO code ATT to replace the standard captain's chairs with the power-release 60/40 bench seat. Because you are not trying to force a separate luxury or air-suspension bundle, the standard, premium D07 Fixed Floor Console remains active. The system will accept this change immediately without triggering a warning message.   3)Apply Heavy-Duty Hauling Capability: Input RPO code NHT (Max Trailering Package). The commercial terminal will automatically bundle the required trailering hardware and software modules to support the diesel engine's maximum towing capacity.   5) Layer the Premium Tech and Glass: Separately add code C3U (Panoramic Power Sunroof) and code UKL (Super Cruise) to the order screen.   6) Run the Final Validation: Click the "Validate Order" button at the bottom of the interface.

      Looking at ordering a '26 WT because I want a std cab, std bed

      By revmanii · Posted

      Spent the last hour or 2 googling and reading up on the spacer thing. I don't like the loss of thread contact on the slip on spacers, but it appears you can get "extended" lug nuts that reach into the hole of the wheel to get back the lost threads. Looks like the only true hubcentric slip on spacers are at least .375". I'd want as little as I could get away with and don't want to cause other clearance issues going any thicker. Bora seems to offer what appears to be a well made .375" spacer and extended lug nuts. I searched here and did find a couple threads recommending Bora. But not cheap. By the time I buy spacers and lugs, new TPMS sensors, then pay a tire shop to install the new sensors, I suspect I'm going to be in over $400. Thinking about running out and getting some washers to put behind the wheel to see if .375" is enough to clear calipers, turn lock to lock without rubbing, and to see if the wheels/tires look strange pushed out a little. This would just be to check fitment.

      Road Master Active Suspension

      By Core-Lokt · Posted

      Roadmaster makes some quality parts; I have their sway bar. I considered the RAS, but I ended up bagging. I didn't know what kind of ride I'd get with RAS, and the bags have interior jounce bumpers, so I can run 0 pounds pressure. I figured I'd have the best of normal suspension ride with assist on-demand. But it seems you got pretty much the same in one item.
