You should have taken the dealers deal. I just went through BBB. I was given MSRP trade and pay the difference if the new one was more money. no deduction for mileage. rebate cannot be applied. I had 4000 miles on mine when I gave it back. I was glad for this deal after seeing how much loss there was if I tried to trade it on something else.

Well folks, I did it. After all the failed attempts at the Chevy dealer I traded it in for a 2015 Ram 1500 Larame. I have to agree with the other folks on here that have done the same thing, it was th

Apparently you and the other customer reps don't care. If you or GM would care y'all would put more effort in the matter. Just coming on the forum and stating the same repetitive posts and being a 3

Do you still pay tax on the new vehicle ?

I filed with BBB becouse GM and my GMC dealer keep giving me the run around. We will see what happens from here. Next move will be lemon law lawyer. 1 month old and 1300 miles now. GM and Dealer do not care what you say,they say it will take time to figure this out and hope you go away. But guess what, Nope!!!!

I'm going through the BBB now also. I'm waiting to hear back from them keep us informed

These trucks drop in value real quick. My MSRP was $51665 and the current KBB with 4900 miles is from $39000 - $41000.

But lets be real.. Nobody pays close to MSRP. I paid $10k under MSRP.. KBB is more than what I purchased mine for.

I didn't pay 10K under MSRP, I paid $46000 so that's a $6000 loss and the truck only has 5000 miles on it. Either way it shows you that the markup on these trucks is ridiculous.

Oh by the way try getting a dealer to offer $40000 trade in for your truck.

With all the incentives and truck month you can probably buy a 14 like mine new for around $42000 right now.

I agree that the markup is ridiculous. I got a trade in offer of $31k which would be about a $2k loss in the 1 month I have had the truck. Did not take it though, just trying to see what I could get. It was through CarMax btw.

So I went to the dealer last week to see what kind of deal they would work for me. Manager of after sales said pay the difference in MSRP for a 2500 duramax minus $1000 customer satisfaction money.. I said give me an extended warranty and/or 0 percent and I will sign the papers... Apparently they didnt think my vibration problems along with the other problems ive had totaling 35 days in the shop were serious and they said no so I filed with the BBB. Today someone from GM calls after the BBB complaint and offers me a WORSE deal.. difference between 105% of msrp for my truck MINUS milage which works out to be almost the MSRP for my truck. So now they want me to pay the difference and arent giving me the 1000.00. What incentive do I have to NOT file a lemon law suit. Cant believe it.

Was it the District Manager After-Sales or the Dealership Manager of sales? If you talked directly to the person, it probably wasn't the DMA. Usually you have to go thru the service manager to get to the DMA and normally you don't get to personally communicate with this person. They don't want a million people contacting them all the time, so their contact info is usually not passed out to customers.

This is getting worse, WTF GM do the right thing get this person into a truck that doesn't shake, or give them their money back!

I went through this crap, and got my money back, and left the GM brand.

My coworkers thar drive new Fords laughed at me! I left my loyalties for GM after they stoped helping me, and continued to lie to me. This was honestly hard for me as I am was a loyal GM customer, but now I bought the ecodiesel and have been greatly satisfied after a few days with even better mileage, torque 420Lb, and tow numbers.

No shame in following your mind, leaving your personal feeling aside while making a big purchase is a wise decision.

Best of luck

When the DMA did my offer he gave me the difference between the current trade in value (not what's in a book but what a dealership would actually give me) and the amount I paid. I didn't ask for anything, I was about to trade it in on a ford or dodge and then I got the call so I didn't even hesitate, got nothing to lose except time. If my 2015 ends up having the same issues, it's going bye bye and will sit on a ford, dodge, toyota, or nissan lot.

 

Edit: my patients is already worn about as thin as it can...................

It was the district manager of after sales. The general manager and service manager had been passing the information to me on the deal. If i known it was going to be this much of a headache I would have just taken the deal.. but right now my truck is in the shop again for the final repair attempt and the GM engineer has had it for two days. Not sure if their able to fix it or not. I should just email the DMA (I have her information) and see if she will give me the same deal but Im thinking of getting my money back and leaving GM just because of the way I have been treated.

Did someone from GM call you and offer this?

You think they would figure out a fix, instead of buying back all these trucks. All they have to do is take one that the dealer couldn't fix and go through it top to bottom and find the culprit. Guess that makes too much sense.

I guess they are making enough money on them that they don't care. We just see what people on this forum are doing. Imagine the other 100rds of thousand people who will never complain about it, or hardly ever bring their vehicle to a dealership except for breakdowns and oil changes.

      Oil Consumption

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I think this is the closest I'm going to get to reconciling your statements with my experience.    Can you confirm you haven't measured the amount of oil drained from your engine to verify what quantity was in the engine at time of drain?    For what its worth, the quote above EXACTLY replicates my observations on my 2015, 2016 and 2018, no measurable drop on the stick. EXCEPT that when I measure the oil volume drained from the pan - the drained volume is about a quart less compared to a new fill.

      A little late to this. I am going to order a 2027 as soon as the order banks open. It'll be a 3.0l again. This time in a Yukon.

      Fluid Change Questions

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I know when I was looking around last year to see if someone handled Amsoil gear oil to buy at the retail level which of course means full price. I found an independent shop that works a lot on GM/Duramax pickups and they did not bring in the 75W-85 as they just stuck to the 75W-90 for the front and rear as a standard practice for the HD trucks which makes sense anyway for the higher hp/torque diesel and pulling heavy loads in four wheel drive. I haven't changed my diff oils yet but still plan on using the 75W-85 for the front diff as I highly doubt I will be beating on the truck and figured for my use type the bit thinner oil would be to my benefit for the winter for that slightly less drag. Very different weather here all winter vs northern Washington near the coast, that's for sure.

      Oil Consumption

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Ok that confirms the extra quart theme they are still going with which must mean they have noted some initial use more so then some engines and probably the bigger factor in all of this probably isn't the engine so much as its the insane distance or OLM that lulls a lot of the driving public into driving their new vehicle off the lot and not even doing one short interval oil change because the manufacturer doesn't say different and if the dealer follows that logic as well. Selling the rarely needing to be serviced concept seems to go over well with the public that wants to get away with as little as possible for dollars spent on the vehicles maintenance and I bet there are 3.0 engines just like other vehicles out there that never have their oil checked by the owner which goes back to why they probably felt the need to add that extra quart to avoid a costly theme.    Speaking of cutting filters open, it was probably over two years ago now that a youtuber who buys vehicles to do longer term reviews and pulls a fifth wheel through the mountains of Colorado on summer trips and that becomes part of the testing. Anyway he had a GM HD with the 6.6 gas and a Ford 250 with the 7.3 gas at the same time and of no surprise the Ford had more power etc but somewhere along the way in the few thousand miles he put on the truck, he changed the oil and was seeing glitter and cut open the filter and yeah, things were not looking spectacular. The truck about that time or soon after seemed down on power compared to what it had been and then threw some engine code, I expect the cam/lifters were failing and so he brought the truck back to the dealer and made some deal to get out of it as he knew it would sit for months waiting on a new engine as they were so backlogged at the time. He kept the GM for some time after that using it exclusively until he sold it after buying his next vehicle to do a review on. Definitely the filter can tell a story when things are starting to go sideways, but it would be a sickening feeling to cut it open and be faced with an ugly mess like that and be running a magnet through the pleats and the oil on the dirty side of the filter and see all the fines sticking to the magnet.    The dealer may have some ideas based on experience as to where that coolant smell is coming from, I would imagine if they can't find it but its smelling they would put dye in it to they could give it a run cycle and use the black light to see where it pops up, if its a hose connection, water pump, rad or even a head gasket etc.
