Negotiated a deal with a dealer in Lockport NY. Actually,they did all the numbers voluntarilly. I agreed to their offer but then told them I was a retired VET and also was entitled to the Military Discount GM has advertised. I signed up for the program earlier and got a verification number.

 

The dealer refused to honor the discount. I called GM and they said they could not direct independent dealers. So I guess I'm out. Anyone else have this happen or know any recourse? Thanks in advance

yeah man...its BS really...its totally dealer dependent up this way....

My local dealership gives 500 bucks off for being in or retired...really 500 bucks....stick it in your A**...500 bucks off a 50K vehicle...thats more of an insult than a discount.

 

The one out on the east coast base takes one of the taxes off....thats actually a lot of money off....but there are two families out there that own all the dealerships from all the manufacturers...and the two families have recently married into each other...so, they're not loosing anything.

Sounds like you tried to sneak it in after the deal is done. Next time, man up & let them know you will use that program upfront.

 

 

It's not a scam! He is a veteran and based on that he is entitled to certain benefits.

Agreed...if he had told them up front he was using that program, he would have ended up with a price oddly familiar to the one he had without the discount. The retired vet must be the scammer...not the slimy car salesman. :lol::lol::lol:

+1 Same thing goes for supplier discount. Always tell them last.

I would say find another dealer. I am currently in the sandbox and my wife went to our local Chevy dealership and they squared her away. She was able to get the Military pricing deal and USAA $750 rebate, and we also had a $500 off loyalty thing in the mail, and they could not take it but they then gave her another $500 toward the value of the trade in. They treated her right and hopefully in 2 years I will be looking at a new Z28(when they come out!). And she traded in the Mini-van for a Traverse.

You're supposed to make the best deal,then get the discount. By knowing up front a person is entitled to a discount,the numbers will be washed so that person actually gets zipp.

 

I put in over 26 years supporting the country and the constitution so a person like this can freely abuse the right of freedom of speach. Statements like His/Hers makes Me wonder if it was worth it.

Terzmo-Thanks for the dedication to our country! :confused:

 

A dealer/saleman like that is not even worth your time! I have never had a problem with the GM Mil discount at either dealer I bought my Colorado and Sierra from. Each time the deal was struck then the discounts were applied. That is why GM gives us the rebate code numbers. You get Military perfered pricing (most times just over dealer cost price) and the discounts to boot. If this is not how they do the deal thern walk away and find someone that will honor you, your service to the country, and the deal he made.

 

Good luck in your hunt for the deal you deserve.

First off thank you very much for your service, I am truly grateful for men and women like you who serve your country! Wondering if it was worth it or not so that people like Negative Nancy (Won_Hunglo) can make statements like that is exactly what makes it worthy. Even though people like him are disrespectful ingrates they are being represented and served by men and women with far more moral character than they ever could have and need your protection and wisdom of the greater good.

Yea thats just not right. I would def. find another dealer. I can't believe they would disrespect you like that. People arent raised with any manners anymore all they are worried about it making a buck!

The real scam in all this is that like you guys said...they would wash the numbers to make it look like you are getting a huge discount. I am pretty sure that the Mil pricing is direct from GM...so the dealership gets it back when it is applied to the price...ie they give you 1000 buck discount for Mil than they get reimbursed that 1000 bucks, from GM. I know thats how a lot of company sponsored discounts work.

 

So I bet if you would have told them up front the salesman would have pulled out another discount that you were given to input that 1000 bucks, you would have bought the truck for XX dollars thinking its a good deal and you got all the discounts...and the dealership received the 1000 bucks from GM and sold the truck at an extra 1000 bucks profit due to that.

 

 

And thats pretty F***ING low in my books.

Never say never. Sometimes he has valid points and says what is true, he just doesn't have the proper skills to say it with much class.

      Your tire pressure issue may just be batteries, you can reset them using tge Ing switch (I think) and the owner's  manual. ChatGTP will b e a faster, better help than Google.

      The thinking is that starting out in a higher gear makes it easier to avoid applying excessive torque when pressing the gas pedal. In a modern 4wd truck with 4 low and a limited slip or locking rear end, I would use 4 low and try to crawl up the ramp. Sometimes if they are too slippery, you have to back up to let the boat have some bouyancy, and then accelerate briskly to get some momentum to help you pull the through the slippery parts.

      I have a Retrax pro that I first had on my 2020 chevy and transferred it to my current GMC.  It stays in the garage most of the time, so hard for me to judge it's long term weather resistance.  It still works perfectly, been very durable.  It doesn't see oil patch usage, but it's not a mall queen.  It keeps most things mostly dry (small leaks) and the security of it is enough to slow someone down but not keep them out for long.  I would buy one again, it works for me.

      Thanks to the convenience of Amazon, I was able to get a few things done to the truck today.  I installed Carquest Premium oil and air filters with five quarts of Mobil1 High Mileage 10-30 along with a quart of Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30 I already had.  The latch for the flip up center console lid was broken so I replaced it along with the power mirror switch.  I found my push retainer assortment this morning and reattached the plastic under the bumper and it was only held on with a few screws and retainers.  Then I programmed a new remote keyless entry fob so I can lock my dog in the truck when I take her out with me (I've got to keep the air going for her since it's been in the 100s).  Finally, I ordered some LED interior bulbs and replaced the reading lamps.  The front lights are working fine while one of the back lights only works intermittently and the other not at all.   While under the truck, I found the source of at least one of the noises: the sway bar links need replacing.  I ordered a set of Suspension Dudes links with Code Red bushings.  Never heard of them, but they're made in the USA and have decent reviews.  While making yet another Amazon order, I went ahead and added a set of front tow hooks.  I went with red, since that's the color of the sway bar link and bushings and it should look decent enough on a black and chrome truck.  Speaking of which, it doesn't bug me much, but the passenger side mirror has a chrome cap while the driver side doesn't, so eventually I'll make them match one way or another.  Oh, and I ordered a $20 TPMS reset tool.  No idea if it will do anything for my sensors but it was cheap and will work for the Ford Transit Connect as well.     For tradition's sake, I ordered a new oil change wrench.  I kept the Snap-On 9/16"x15mm GM wrench I bought when I was 18 in the 2006 GMC from the time I bought that truck until the truck was lost.  While I was tempted, there's no need to spend $80 for a new SO wrench, or even $50 with shipping for a used one on Ebay.  I just bought a Duratech 15mm extra-long ratcheting wrench to do the job as needed.  It works, and if I like that wrench enough, I'll buy the set.

      Multigate electrical problem

      By Another JR · Posted

      The recall is for exactly this issue - those drain holes combined with the limited environmental capability of the tailgate electronics card inside the tailgate were a problem. The “safety issue” was the potential for the tailgate to spontaneously open, but all kinds of tailgate misbehavior can occur from water contamination of that control card.    There is no real fix yet. The initial recall just disabled the tailgate. Later, when parts became available, they would replace bad parts with new parts of the same bad design. My dealer is going nuts because the few times I let them get their hands on my truck, my tailgate is off due to a slide-in camper installation. They really want to cut my tailgate wires, but I won’t give them the chance. I will let them get their dirty hands on it when a real fix (redesign) is available.  My tailgate, which works just fine with sealant plugging the drain holes, will remain safe in a dry storage crate until then.
