Question Regarding Price

[jonathansnyder]

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.... 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

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

 

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.

I've waited over 4-5 months for some of my special ordered trucks,My '07 took two months (Ordered Jan.11th,arrived Mar.13th)

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
